Axiom Launches New Architectural Loudspeaker Series
Dwight, ON (ContentDesk) October 20, 2005 -- Axiom Audio, www.axiomaudio.com, the award-winning loudspeaker manufacturer known for delivering outstanding performance and value to its customers has developed an in-wall loudspeaker line that delivers no-compromise sonic performance.The Problem: Many current in-wall speakers rely on the cavity behind the wall for speaker loading but have widely variable performance because the sheetrock wall surface vibrates with the rear output from the drivers, producing deeply colored and inaccurate sound. And if no in-wall cabinet is included, the driver's rear output will produce distorted sound in the neighboring room.The Solution: Overcoming these drawbacks, Axiom's new Architectural W2, W3, and W22 on-wall/in-wall hybrids feature fully integrated carefully tuned enclosures that recess into the wall, combined with an attractive exterior finished baffle that keeps the speaker's drivers well away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall surface. And that proprietary enclosure means that the uncolored wide-range sound and bass loading will remain consistent no matter which wall you install the speakers in.Axiom's W2 In-Wall/On-Wall Hybrid Architectural speaker.
The integral enclosure uses a unique porting system that lets the three bookshelf in-wall models deliver neutral, wide-range transparent sound with tonal balance that's virtually indistinguishable from the sound quality of Axiom's highly-praised separate bookshelf models (the M2i, M3ti and M22ti). The slim profile is a perfect complement to today's modern thin-panel plasma and LCD TV screens, keeping pace aesthetically and sonically with the hi-res video image of HDTV.
Contacted at Axiom's plant in Dwight, Ontario, Axiom founder and President Ian Colquhoun remarked, These new in-wall/on-wall hybrids are a breakthrough. They sound as good as our regular bookshelf models, which means that our customers can now enjoy the benefits of an in-wall design without compromising sound quality. I'm really proud of the fact that our integrated enclosure design avoids the tonal imbalances that characterize most conventional in-wall speakers. A separate metal frame with self-compressing screws locks the outer speaker enclosure firmly to the sheetrock of the wall, which results in a smooth custom look, thereby eliminating the traditional box from the room by burying the loading portion inside the wall. The W series' unobtrusive appearance solves home decorating problems by freeing up floor space, and will prove popular with custom installers and interior designers. The W series' attractively finished front baffles come in five handsome seamless finishes (Boston Cherry, Light Maple, Mansfield Beech, Black Oak, and Eggshell White) and are also available in 12 custom finishes by special order, providing unprecedented choice at this price point.
The integral recessed wall-mount enclosure extends less than 3.5 inches into the wall, so the W series speakers mount easily in any standard 3.5-inch stud wall. A mounting template is supplied with the speakers to aid installation. Axiom's W Architectural Series On-Wall/In-Wall speakers are priced as follows: $220 each for the W2, $245 each for the W3, and $325 each for the W22. Axiom is a world leader in psycho-acoustical research, which provides the scientific basis on which all Axiom loudspeakers are designed and engineered, including careful acoustical measurements and uncompromising double-blind listening tests.

How to find the best LCD monitor for you
Copyright 2006 Michael Cottier
Liquid Crystal Display is what LCD stands for, and you thought crystals could only be a solid. Liquid crystals were actually first discovered in 1888 and took more then 100 years to progress into the LCD monitors that we see for computers, laptops, calculators and so one. So why the history lesson you ask, because most likely you are interested in getting an LCD monitor for your computer, but want to get the best deal and quality of monitor. So you need to know everything that you can about LCD's, or you might purchase the wrong one for you.
The difference between a good old fashioned CRT monitor and an LCD is not just the size, far from it. LCD's produce a clearer picture and use a digital connection between the computer and the monitor instead of an analog one like CRT monitors.
As we all know, digital is much better then analog since there is less signal loss.
In addition to its picture quality as a main...

Buying a treadmill? Making the right choice
Out of all the aerobic machines that I have personally used
I still consider the treadmill to be one of the best for
cardiovascular conditioning. According to different data
that I have read more than 40 million participants up about
800% since 1990 seem to agree.
It is very important that the treadmill that you choose meet
your specific needs and help you achieve your goals. Their
are numerous models to choose from so you have to do your
homework. I believe I can help you with the learning curve.
Do not shop by price alone it can be a big mistake! The old
saying you get what you pay for certainly applies here.
A treadmill can be a maintenance nightmare if you buy the
wrong one. Look at this purchase as a long term investment.
You want it to hold up for years to come. You may have to
wait if money restrictions prevent you from buying the
treadmill...

Televisions
One of the best inventions in the world of digital media, television is a telecommunicating system that transmits images, accompanied with sounds and special effects, over a long distance. The word television is derived from two words ? tele (which means "far" in Greek) and visio (which means "vision" or "sight" in Latin).
Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student, proposed the first electromechanical television system in 1885. The discovery of cathode ray tubes in 1897, by K. F. Braun was a major landmark.
Later in 1927, Philo Taylor Farnsworth envisioned the first fully electronic system. He conducted the world's premier public demonstration of an all-electronic television system on August 25, 1934, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Besides Farnsworth, Vladimir Kosma Zworykin is also sometimes called the Father of the television because of his invention of iconoscope in 1923 and kinescope in 1929. On July 3, 1928, John Logie Baird demonstrated...
