Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

IMGOdyssee_e.jpgWOW! I got a chance to demo the most amazing home theater enhancement since 5.1 surround sound. It's called the Odyssee by D-BOX.

Simply amazing... here's a quote from their website, "By lifting your seating and occupants on a four-point suspension, in perfect synchronization with the onscreen action and sound, Odyssee creates a virtual reality experience in your living room or home theater. You’re drawn into the action as never before as you experience the same motional forces as the actors and players you’re watching. The emotional effects and spine-tingling excitement created by Odyssee are breathtaking, exhilirating and just plain fun!"

The system adds a tactile experience like no other, because this uses acuators that travel 1" at 2 G's you actually feel like you are part of the movie. Be sure to read up on this company and technology... and if your budget allows, definately drop the $23k on the full system.

Affordable Theater Seating

bridgepointe.jpgWho says you need to be a studio excutive to afford reclining home theater seating? Acoustic Innovations has released affordable entry level theater seating that actually looks good. You won't get cheap over stuffed looking designs here. Instead, the BridgePointe is a "club chair" design that can fit more seating in a smaller space. It has been designed from the ground up for theater viewing, unlike other reclining cinema seating which are just repurposed recliners with cup holders.

rock.jpgTAW announced the Rock PRO about six months ago. It reportedly yields a much better picture and smoother pans. It also can be expanded with field installable modules... I got the chance to upgrade my old Rock+ to the PRO and will have a complete review in a couple weeks.
