YouTube Video Mocks High-End Audio

C.I.S. is Charlotte NC's Source For Martin Logan Speakers!  Authorized Dealer in CharlotteAnimated video depicts salesman trying to overcome consumer’s request for Bose.

A YouTube video is attracting some attention in the high-end audio world.

The video depicts a female customer trying to purchase an audio system from a high-end audio store and “get her parking validated.”

Going on Oprah’s advice, she requests a Bose system.

The British salesperson mentions everything from B&W, Wilson, Paradigm, PS Audio and Thiel. When the client balks, the salesperson then tries to sell Sonos.

He even says he will commit suicide if she still wants Bose. It’s funny, but not so funny. If you have six minutes, click on the link below to take a look.

URC to Debut Subsystems for Home Control

URC MX-6000 - Available At Custom Installation Services Charlotte NC!

URC MX-6000 - Available At Custom Installation Services Charlotte NC!

Over the past couple of years, URC has worked hard to reposition itself as a whole-house control company – not just a maker of remotes.

In a symbolic gesture, the company even changed its name in March from Universal Remote Controls to just plain URC, which is what everyone has always called it anyway.

The name-change sets the stage for CEDA Expo 2010, where we’ll see URC’s most ambitious play in the home automation space.

The company promises a “monumental unveiling” of a new line called Total Control, which pushes URC “beyond controlling the home theater and becomes the whole house control company of choice,” according to a CEDIA teaser.

Of course, we’ve heard that claim from URC before. Likewise from virtually every manufacturer of higher-end remote controls.

So what makes this particular unveiling so monumental?

Today, “We offer whole-house control, but to a large extent it’s with third-party products,” URC marketing director Jon Sienkiewicz tells Electronic House sister publication CE Pro. “Now, we’ll have URC-branded products.”

URC-branded products? As in subsystems?

It wouldn’t be a first. With help from Lutron, URC developed its own line of natively compatible lighting controls in 2008. The company did recently unveil an energy monitoring app for its networked controllers. Could thermostats, multiroom audio, IP cameras and other subsystems be far behind? URC isn’t saying.

Polk’s RTi A9 Speakers Deliver Full-Range Performance

CIS-NC is Charlotte NC's #1 Polk Audio Speaker Dealer!

CIS-NC is Charlotte NC's Trusted Polk Audio Speaker Dealer!

Polk Audio’s RTi A9 freestanding loudspeaker is efficient, easy-to-drive, affordable and it has a small footprint.

There’s no question that over the past decade the performance characteristics of a typical in-wall or bookshelf loudspeaker have been greatly improved.

However, there is also no question that there is no replacing a full-range loudspeaker with their ability to provide high sound pressure levels (SPLs), dynamic sound reproduction capabilities and seamless, multi-octave soundstages.

Polk Audio‘s RTi A9 is an example of how manufacturers have evolved their in-room products to meet the needs of a much different consumer demographic that requires sleek industrial designs, unobtrusive room integration and reasonable price points.

Standing just under 49 inches tall the RTi A9 has a cabinet depth of 21.375 inches and a width of just shy of 9 inches.

Internally, the speaker employs three 7-inch polymer-composite woofers, two 5.25-inch polymer-composite midrange drivers and a single 1-inch silk-polymer, composite dome tweeter that operate together on 12dB crossover slopes (second-order).

The Maryland-based company also utilizes a ported cabinet design that includes its PowerPort Plus technology to help the speaker reproduce a frequency response of 18Hz to 27kHz, and it offers dual-binding post options for bi-wiring connectivity.

The RTi A9s run $1,699 per pair.
