REVIEW – Not three months ago, I reviewed the Ultimea Aura A60 7.1 soundbar. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound I was able to get from that small package with Dolby Atmos to boot. Today I’m back with the Ultimea Poseidon D80 Boom 7.1 soundbar, and I’m here to tell you it’s a worthy […]

REVIEW – I love watching movies. Subbed, dubbed, foreign, domestic, it doesn’t matter. Give me some good acting and a good story and I’m sucked in. I do most all of my movie watching at home. Have you tried taking a 6 member family to the movies? I’d have to sell a kidney! Anyway, I

REVIEW – Our house has two living rooms, and we recently redid our “back” living room.  Since that’s where the wood stove is, and a big new couch, we’ve been spending more time there. Our front living room has a TV with soundbar, but the back living room just has a TV with built-in TV

REVIEW – Ultimea was kind enough to send along their new Solo B30 Soundbar to test along with the Poseidon E40 projector. I was going to write a separate review, but they work nicely together, so this is kind of a mini-review add-on. It’s two-fer Tuesday! What is it? The Ultimea Solo B30 Soundbar is

REVIEW – If you are short on desk space, an under-monitor soundbar may be your ticket to audio nirvana – without sacrificing space.  Creative has made a budget friendly, compact, under monitor soundbar in the Sound Blaster GS3.  We’ve plugged it in and given it a go to see how this sub-$50 option sounds.   What

REVIEW – I have been searching for a new soundbar with Dolby Atmos for my bedroom/man cave. I already have one in my living room that I love, but it was pretty expensive. I’m looking for a more budget-friendly option. Luckily, I was offered to review the Ultimea 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar, which costs less

REVIEW – As it turns out, this is the sound system we didn’t know we needed. My son and co-reviewer Mason picked this out after having a good experience with Creative speakers for a previous review. Our main TV already has a nice soundbar, and I have a portable speaker to use around the house,

REVIEW – Are you looking for powerful sound combined with snazzy looks, from a company with decades of multimedia experience? I’ve been running some relatively boring black computer speakers on my work/gaming desk in my office for years now. I previously had a Creative 5.1 surround system on my gaming/workstation but the wires and logistics

REVIEW – I can remember the days when I spent a whole lot of money on a 5.1 surround sound system. It was made up of 2 relatively large left and right front speakers, a center channel speaker, 2 rear speakers, and a subwoofer. The connections also meant that there would be a whole bunch

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – The Monoprice SB‑300 Virtual Dolby Atmos soundbar offers high quality sound for a very good price, no subwoofer is needed. What is it?  The Monoprice SB‑300 Virtual Dolby Atmos soundbar is a soundbar with several connection options, featuring Virtual Dolby Atmos® for the HDMI mode only. Includes remote control and mounting brackets. What’s

REVIEW – It is amazing to me what you can get nowadays for a TV.  Prices have fallen, while feature sets are getting better and better.  But I have noticed that while prices of TVs seem to keep falling, the manufacturers are having to drop features to be able to keep those prices low.  For
