Title: Small DVD / Amp / DVD / Dock
Post by: JimH on August 28, 2008, 03:38:54 pm

There's a show called IFA going on right now in Berlin, so there are a lot of new devices being introduced.  I found an interesting one on Engadget.

It also has a built-in woofer and a USB port so you can play files from your USB stick.

So it's all nice and clean.  The question becomes: do you want a really clean, simple environment that truly is just that?  Or can you build a room with the right cables and storage areas to take stacks of components and hide them away, giving great audio & video, while keeping them hidden.  These tiny units may be neat but I think they're limited to the low-end, possibly medium-end, market.  So no subwoofer?  I have a feeling a decent 12" subwoofer will outpower something like this...just a thought.
