Avoid clutter with Onkyo's built-in speaker flat screen stand
posted Mar 4th 2005 8:55AM
If you mount your home theater flat screen on your wall, the issue becomes where to put the not-so-easily mountable speakers. Onkyo has come up with a way to solve the problem by embedding speakers inside the TV's display stand. The CB-SP1200 safely holds up to 250 pounds worth of whatever video goodness you've got goin' on (LCD, plasma, tabletop rear projection, even conventional CRT — check!), plus provides high quality audio via integrated Onkyo MicroFiber (OMF) left, right, and center channels. The seven-coat black lacquer on the $600 unit is reportedly "hand rubbed to beautiful high gloss finish" — and we have to question the perv factor on the sick individuals who applied for that job. It would be a fairly attractive addition to one's home entertainment system, yes — but you won't ever catch us stealing into the living room in the middle of the night with a bottle of baby oil.
Oh my goodness, why didn't something like this come earlier? I've got a feeling Sony or B & O will do somethin similar soon
If you mount your home theater flat screen on your wall, ............. by embedding speakers inside the TV’s display stand.
Er, if it's mounted on the wall why whould you have a display stand?
(if the picture explains this just ignore me - they don't show up at work..)
#2 your question is vaid.
the answer is that you dont mount your tv on the wall... you use the stand.
poor phrasing by gizmag.
how about some flat panel speakers. I seem to remember that a friend of a friend had some.
If your going to spend the kind of cash it takes to purchase a flat panel tv, don't be cheap with the speakers, get a good set of in walls.
Once you have seen the Yamaha YSP-1 this is pretty boring.
I saw, or rather heard, the YSP-1 yesterday. I was blown away by it. it's just eerie hearing the sound coming from a speaker that isn't there. And then repositioning that speaker (the one that isn't there).. I just bought a set of Paradigms 2 weeks ago, if I had waited, I would have bought the Yamaha
