For the last couple of years, top Home Cinema and Hi-Fi Electronics brand Denon
have allowed only a small select group of their excellent products to be sold via the internet. It meant that if you wanted to buy one of their
award winning AV receivers or Hi-Fi seperates, you would need to visit your local dealer and take it away. The good news is that Denon have now
changed all that and it is possible to buy any product from their extensive range online from their dealers website. Products such as the
new AVR-1912 AV receiver. With 7 powerful channels - each
ouputting a massive 125 Watts, 6 HDMi inputs, 3D playback, audio return channel it is tipped to be a multiple award winner in review. It also supports AirPlay so that you can stream music from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, or from the iTunes music library.

Amazing Speakers - Low Price - Monitor Audio Bronze BX2

Monitor Audio have always been a speaker brand that people know for the quality and performance of their loudspeakers.
Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 are a perfect example of this quality - winning Product of the Year in the latest What Hi-Fi annual awards, these
medium sized bookshelf / standmount speakers are neatly finished, front ported (which allows placement closer to a wall) and available in Walnut,
Black, Natural Oak and Rosemah finishes.

These excellent speakers match well with the majority of Hi-Fi electronics and sound great no matter what style of music you prefer. More importantly, these
neat speakers are a fraction of the price of some mid-range speakers from other brands. The stunning detail, soundstage and imagery they reveal is a testament to the
experience and knowledge that Monitor Audio have gained with the Bronze BX2 predecessor the BR2 - the new version has improved drive units and magnetic grilles for a neat fascia when the speakers are used with the grilles off. All in all we recommend these speakers as being the best and most refined in their price range.

Compact Speakers with a Massive Performance

At SightandSoundUK, we are often asked the following question - Most music lovers want to enjoy audiophile, hi-fi quality sound but is this achievable without great big floorstanding speakers?


Generally the answer is no, but when ProAc launched the 9th generation of their ultra compact Tablette Anniversary standmount / bookshelf speakers the theory that small speakers can't create a rich full performance is blown completely out of the water.


The anniversary edition ProAc Tablette features a newly designed mid-range / bass driver which is the same size as previous Tablette drive units but the housing has been crafted into a smaller unit allowing for an even more compact cabinet size.



The 5 inch bass/mid driver delivers an astonishing bass response which is delivered with accuracy and dexterity, of course the rich and pure mid-range is present and is now known as a hallmark of ProAc loudspeakers, whilst the treble is crisp and detailed but by no means overbright.

With great review after great review and as a result of our own auditioning and day-to-day listening with a variety of music from the big band jazz of Ray Gelato to the hard rock of Black Sabbath, we can certainly recommend the Proac Tablette Anniversary as the best compact speakers we have heard. Furthermore they are availble at a price that will not break the bank - buy with confidence and enjoy!

Buy the best AV Receiver for the Best Price

---

There are many Home Cinema Surround Sound Receivers available at a variety of prices and with a variety of features, but which one should you buy?

Quite a difficult question but there is one AV amp that makes a lot easier to answer - Onkyo TX-NR609. Priced at just under £500, there isn't another AV Reciever available at that price with as many features as the 609. With THX Select2 Plus certification, txnr609 handles disc based media, be it Blu-Ray, DVD or CD with precision and detail, through its network and wireless capabilities - audio content from your PC, MAC, iPod / iPhone as well as audio via the internet. Add to this, 6 HDMi inputs (one of which is on the front panel) that support 3D video, high
resolution 4K video upscaling using Marvell Qdeo, DTS and Dolby High Definition sound formats and superb amplifier performance and you have for yourself an amazing powerhouse of a system which is beginning to receive a great deal of praise in review.

Easy to Set up

With its ease of set-up, overlayed on screen display that is carried via HDMi, the settings can be adjusted whilst you are watching your favourite films without spoiling the experience - it is in the fine details such as this that Onkyo have come up with what looks to be another classic.

3D and Audio Return Channel via HDMi


Enjoy stunning 3D video via TV broadcast or games for true to life, dramatic 3D imagery and with the Audio Return Channel, sound from your TV's own tuner will be streamed back into your receiver thus eliminating the need for an extra digital COAX or optical cable and cutting down the extra cost that cabling always adds to the purchase of a home cinema system.

PC Connectivity

TXNR609 also features a PC-In input which will allow you to stream video from your PC, a really well thought out feature. Please note that audio may need t be connected to the 609 using a seperate cable but with the Onkyo's myriad of analogue and digital inputs, you will not be short of options.

Network Features


Connecting your Home PC or Laptop to the TX-NR609 could n't be easier. With interaction with Internet Radio services such as Napster, Pandora, Sirius Internet Radio, MediaFly, vTuner, Slacker etc, and with support for Spotify, the sound quality and functionality for these type of services has never been better. An of course with Internet Radio, you can listen to even the most obscure genres of music from any location in the world - the 609 is also compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 's DLNA 'Play To' streaming feature.

THX Select 2 Plus

THX certification means that the Onkyo TX-NR609 has been certified as hving the capability to reproduce Surround Sound film soundtrack faithfully and as the filmakers and director intended it to be. But the TX-NR 609 with confidence -

relax, enjoy...........
