Custom Seating and Hidden Features

Touted as a "zero wall" recliner. Cineak’s Strato requires no space behind it to operate. The Strato is part of the company’s home theater luxury seating line.

The company believes that seating doesn’t have to be limited, allowing for countless options, layouts, and literally unlimited fabrics.

Amp, CD player, tuner… and that's not all.

The Sound of Thunder

Paul W. Klipsch set out to design a speaker that could replicate the crystal-clear sound images of a ‘live’ orchestra or large jazz ensemble with an ease never heard before.

Now, 60 some odd years on, the horn lives on in the guise of the Icon series, and the WF-34.

No Turning Away

We’ll be perfectly frank and admit that we’re so impressed with its polished presence that we’d be smitten with McIntosh’s MT10 turntable even if it tracked the grooves on our vinyl with a nail driven through a broomstick.

(This might be an improvement over the crap that passed for audio gear in our youth.)
