Atlantic Technology IWCB-727 THX LCR

Atlantic Technology has released their new THX Select2 Certified IWCB-727 LCR in-wall loudspeakers. The IWCB-727 features a 2.5 way design with dual 6.5" woofers and a 1" tweeter inside of a sealed enclosure. Atlantic claims the sealed enclosure, "allows all the elements to be perfectly tuned for ideal performance by eliminating the acoustic variability of open-back designs where performance depends on the characteristics of the wall cavity. " The in-wall speakers also utilize a trio of acoustic controls for tuning.

The Atlantic Technology IWCB-727 THX LCR is currently available with an MSRP of $1000 each.

Ultimate Polyfill Subwoofer Enclosure Resource

- Image: Parts Express

Tom Nousaine wrote a great article on the use of polyfill in subwoofer enclosures 13 years ago. I have used this article as a reference numerous times as I'm sure many others have. Currently this article is only available as an archive page to a website that is no longer around. For fear of one day losing this great article, I am going to copy it here. Hopefully no one will have any issues with this, but if you do, feel free to contact me.

Niko Bellic of Grand Theft Auto 4 Sings the Blues

It turns out the actor behind GTA IV's lead character Niko Bellic is also one hell of a Blues/Folk singer. Michael Hollick has a few of his songs on his MySpace page and they are pretty good, but unfortunately he doesn't sing with a thick Serbian accent.

Check out the link below to hear his music.

Neil Young on Blu-ray

Neil Young recently announced that he will be releasing his entire catalog on the Blu-ray format. I've always thought that one of the great missed opportunities in audio was the record industry's decision to ignore the DVD-Video format in favor of the battling DVD-A and SACD formats. DVD has a massive, nearly universal install base, and is capable of high-res stereo audio playback. Unlike DVD-A and SACD, which were doomed to be niche products from the start, DVD had the chance to finally retire the rapidly aging CD for good. A few audio-only DVDs were produced, but they are extremely rare. (I actually own one, Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" on DVD, DD 5.1 and high-res PCM stereo). Releasing music on Blu-ray though just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Stoners are notorious for being extremely creative and coming up with some pretty wild shit. The Bong Guitar is case in point. Made with a plexiglass body, the electronics are sealed off from the smoke chamber for protection from the icky sticky.

Unfortunately you can't order your own Bong Guitar because the creator forgot to make a website.

Video after the jump.
