Finding Audio Nirvana In Your Living Room Takes Time and Lots Of Moving Furniture
![]() |
You know that place in your living room where the sound from the television or the music from your stereo is just right? Where, if you’re anything like me, you find yourself leaning toward it, ever so slightly, during the good parts of a movie or standing in it when you’re playing good music. That’s called the sweet spot. No really, that’s a technical term. The sweet spot is the place where the sound waves from whatever your audio setup includes come together like they’re supposed to. It’s the spot where your 24-speaker 22.2 surround sound system does its job best, delivering the highs and lows in perfect balance. I’ve been known to move my recliner to that spot in my living room when I was watching a movie alone. The sweet spot in my house is a one-person affair.
Is it the end of the ancient iPhone dock connector?
![]() |
Next week Apple’s new iPhone is expected to be announced with a new dock connector. It is still a secret exactly what kind of a dock it will be. Some rumors are that the old 30-pin dock will just get an adapter although it is not known if it will work only on the newest iPhones or also with the older ones. The current dock design has been present from the very beginning and after 9 years could really use a replacement. Many companies are already planning to overcome this (if there is actually a change) with Bluetooth enabled parts that will provide music or video output. So far most of the rumors are around auris by Touchkraft LLC and CoolStream. While auris is a kickstarter project that is yet to be funded, you can buy CoolStream for $39.99 from Amazon.
Accessory Power Speaker Pals Review; Panda and Koala Edition
Every now and then in the midst of products that are intended to make your system more powerful or impress your friends we get to play with products that are fun. We found this in a pair of external speakers from a company called Accessory Power. The speakers are designed to look like the heads of animals (in a cute way) and can work with PCs, phones, tablets and pretty much anything with a 1/8-inch speaker jack. In addition to their function as a speaker set they are also intended to bring awareness to endangered species. We were lucky enough to receive two different models for our testing and enjoyment. So let’s take you along as we see if the Accessory Power Gogroove Speaker Pals Panda and Koala sets are worth your time and money.
