I have a pair of SpeakerCraft AIM7 ceiling speakers in my 12' x 13' den. They sound quite good, but as is the case with most ceiling speakers, they don't provide much bass. I wanted a small subwoofer, on a small budget, to provide the missing lower frequencies while also "filling" the room with sound. I was a little nervous when I first saw this Yamaha sub at such a low price. But, after reading the consistently good reviews on the various web sites, I placed the order. I've now been listening to it for several weeks, and I definitely agree with the other positive reviewers. This isn't a sub for driving your movie theater system in a large room, but it suffices perfectly for listening to music in smaller rooms. It sounds dynamic, not boomy or mushy. Overall, it's a great product considering its $100 price range.

The RC6s in-ceiling speaker delivers both channels of a stereo signal from a single overhead location. It's perfect for a bathroom, kitchen, hallway, or anywhere else that you want great stereo sound from just one hideaway speaker. Features Dynamic Balance woofer and dual dome tweeters that provide lifelike stereo imaging with a clean midrange, deep bass and smooth, accurate highs. Easy installation in 3 steps - cut a hole, feed the wires through, and simply drop the speaker in – puts built-in audio within reach. The rotating cams secure the speakers safely and ensure vibration-free efficiency with no extra assembly or mess. Paintable grilles and its design that mimics a recessed lighting fixture allow the RC6s to blend in perfectly with the decor.
Good stereo speaker at excellent price

Please Note: This Polk RC6s provides BOTH Left and Right channel audio within this one ceiling speaker. Lower frequencies are combined within its single 6" woofer, while its dual tweeters provide the L/R stereo separation among the mid/upper frequencies. I don't recommend this speaker for MOST listening environments, but it's ideal for small rooms which don't provide adequate space for two separate speaker enclosures. I installed this within our bathroom. It really does provide good separation as well as good dynamics at the mid and upper frequencies, but it lacks the bass which more expensive 6.5" ceiling speakers might provide. But for under $100, it is a solid bargain.

This router was extremely easy to set up. After one month of use, I can say it has been very reliable. It has an intuitive web interface which can be easily accessed remotely. I also like it's parental control features which allow us to control the use of all our home's wifi devices (such as our son's ipod and ps3).

Our 65" flat panel tv has HDMI ports pointing directly to the rear, such that a typical HDMI cable would be squeezed between the tv and the back wall (when mounting the tv on a wall). This swivel adapter allows the cable to be connected vertically, so that our tv can be mounted very close to the wall. It seems to provide a robust, secure connection, and we see absolutely no degradation in our picture quality.

We were moving into a home with a large family room. We were originally considering a 55" to 60" TV, but when we measured and analyzed things more carefully, we came to the conclusion we needed at least a 65" screen for the size of our wall as well as the seating depth in this room. Unfortunately, we didn't have a big budget for this purchase, and we definitely didn't want to buy an off-brand set (such as RCA, Hisense, Insignia, the budget series from Vizio, etc). We were very pleased with our previous Samsung purchase, and so this UN65H6203 seemed like a good compromise when we were finalizing our purchase choices.
Ultimately, after 3 weeks of use, it appears this TV ended up being a perfect choice. It was easy to set up, including connecting to our internet, and the picture quality is excellent. No issues with fast action sequences, either. Regarding its online feature set, I had read a few early reviews indicating this TV was really slow with its "smart" features, but maybe that was due to earlier firmware loads? I haven't used these features too much, yet, but I haven't noticed any significant lag during my experimentation with it. Overall, we are very pleased with this unit!

Received this Blu-ray player as part of a promotion with Samsung. Didn't really need a new one, but glad to have it now that I've tried it out. It boots up more quickly and is a better unit than the Vizio 3D player it replaced.

What's great about it: Clear dynamic sound
I'm not usually a big fan of Polk speakers. In fact, I was a bit underwhelmed with a set of Polk in-wall/ceiling speakers I purchased at my last house. However, my opinion of these Atrium 4 outdoor speakers is nothing but positive: great sound quality; very efficient; and reasonable lower bass levels considering the speaker size. For this price range, I am quite pleased with the dynamic and transparent sound imaging. I was fortunate to find these on sale for $100, but I wouldn't complain if I paid the typical $200 retail. They are worth it. Easy to install, too.
This product has... Right size for my space, Easy to set up, Good build quality

The subwoofer is black, but with a silver port hole on the lower right side of the enclosure. Mine is exactly like the picture.
