Consumers Will Be Chomping at the Bit To Buy HDTV on a Disc: 2005 will see one (or both) of the two HDTV formats work its way into the hands of consumers. I am not ready to predict if Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will win out at this early point, but I can say with 100 percent certainty that Hollywood is going to jump on board with one or both of these formats so that they can sell all of their movie titles all over again...

Conventional power conditioners merely filter the noise, protect against surges, and in some cases regulate voltage. PurePower connects you to a new, stable power source, off the power grid, as though you were hooked up to the cleanest power station in North America. Even if the inbound voltage is zero, PurePower keeps your system operating perfectly with its built-in back-up battery system. Perfect voltage sinewave, total freedom from line noise, distortion, surges, and sags.

And what if it was completely self-contained with a dual PIP tuner, plenty of inputs (including HDMI)? What if you could get all this and more with a 61� DLP (Digital Light Processing) that can hang-on-a-wall (with a depth of only 6.85�)? Unheard of? Not any more. Come see for yourself the new InFocus 61md10. Now on display at Evolution Audio & Video in lovely Agoura Hills, CA. Call (818) 879-1312 or email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for further information. Save $100 on Xhifi's XDC-1 Desktop Audio System The problem with virtually all multi-media speaker systems is that they were designed to hit a price point, not high performance.

Xhifi is the first company to design and manufacture a truly high end desktop system. The XDC-1 features newly developed ultra low-mass Radial Ribbon driver technology for a stunning, 3 dimensional soundfield. Imaging is precise, with no "sweet-spot" issues. The sub enclosure is finished in rich European Cherrywood. >From Nov 15 to Jan 15 you can save $100 on the system price with Xhifi's >Factory Mail-In Rebate. If you've been waiting for the right moment to step up >to the best desktop sound money can buy, now's the time.

The whole band The Music is set at 11. Now I don�t know about you, but that sounds like a good thing to me � there�s some danger, certainly. Anything you hear at that level better be worth hearing loud. Anything that much in your face better look beautiful at really close range, because it�s screaming to be closely examined.
