American SVS is primarily known for its subwoofers, which quite literally deliver impact for the money in the home theater. However, the company also makes equipment for stereo use. Prime Wireless Soundbase is a compact integrated amplifier with all analog and digital inputs. It’s a little bigger than Sonos and Bluesound, but still not bigger …
When the green light came on, I knew music was coming out of the radio. Then the pipes behind the fabric grille were warm and the radio filled the living room with sound. Warm, soft and comfortable sound. My parents’ tube-based radio receiver was later replaced with a Japanese transistor receiver, which, even with two …
Over ten years ago, Sonos came on the scene with user-friendly, wireless speakers that provided sound in every room. It was super easy, and changed the hi-fi market forever.

They even have a turntable with a built-in amplifier that just needs a pair of speakers to play music — and a standing …
Klipsch is fairly new to the streaming game, and has realized that when it comes to apps and user interfaces, there are already established solutions that work better than they would be able to do themselves.
