We installed a new home theatre with about eight separate devices and were concerned about a pile of remotes as well as ease of use for house guests. I read mixed reviews on the harmony ultimate but we love it. From my 70 year old in laws to my 6 year old nephew it is easy to use and very intuitive. This remote is very clean and organized in a manner that just makes sense. We paid for installation so I cannot speak to complexity of set up only use.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a simple solution to the remote clutter.

After nearly a year of listening to every in ceiling speaker I could possibly demo I came across the speakercraft aim8three's and as embarrassed as I am to say, I literally stopped in my tracks. The quality of sound reproduction is simply incredible. I no doubt am an audiophile and enjoy a wide array of music and these speakers have handled everything I have thrown at them.
I have a 5.1 set up in my home theatre and these definitely do a great job for movies however music is where they truly shine. If owning a second to none home theatre is your goal you have got to give the aim8three's a shot I have been so incredibly happy and would drop the $2500 again without hesitation.

Amazing sub with incredible sound reproduction

I recently completed a new home theatre and opted for the supercube 4000 based on multiple expert reviews, it's compact design and reputation of the brand. I must admit I was really nervous dropping almost a grand without having heard the sub however best buy assured me my satisfaction was guaranteed.
From first listen six months ago to today I have been blown away. From movies where you really are looking for enveloping lows with plenty of power to all types of music this sub has no doubt aced the challenge.
I would highly recommend this product to any audiophile looking for a sub.

How Often Used:Daily
After hours of research on the best in ear headphones I landed on the B&W C5's. After my first listen I was happy with my purchase however the "honeymoon" quickly faded.
The good
I travel frequently and these headphones did a good job of filtering out the drone of jet engines and ambient noise in general which I love. The quality of sound reproduction is impressive as well however when you get in to music with deep lows they will leave you wanting more.
The bad
These headphones become extremely uncomfortable on the ears after a couple of hours, I could only stand 3 or 4 hours at most. They often will fall out of your ears when running or intense workouts in spite of the design intended at keeping them in place.
The UGLY
The right earbud started cutting out 3 months after the purchase and completely stopped working 4 months after purchase. I attempted to work with Bowers and Wilkins customer service to have them replaced but it is 7 months since my purchase and I still do not have a replacement due to multiple errors on B&W's part. In spite of multiple attempts to have B&W stand by their product I am afraid I am going to have to drop another $200 on a competitors product months after purchasing the C5's.
The bottom line
These in ears sound great in my opinion however the lack of quality and Bowers and Wilkins total avoidance of standing by their product will lead me to avoid B&W in the future. I was really bummed because they were solid initially.
