JBL - Home Audio

Installed a new stereo system in my office today; the JBL SCS160SI 7-piece Home Cinema Speaker Package will be my theater system in my den for at least a week or two. As a electronics product reviewer I get to play with a wide range of toys. It's fun, but after spending the better part of a day playing with RCA jacks, Digital hook ups, Monster cable, S-video and everything in between-I'm done. At least for the night. (Look for a full review of the JBL speaker system in two weeks.)

I also have the opportunity to play with a stand-alone DVD Recorder. Marked as the digital replacement for VCR's recordable DVD's have been available on computers for years as well as expensive stand alones. As with all things, the prices are coming down and with all the options out there I thought I'd put this technology to the test. Can recordable DVD's truly replace our ailing VCR's? There are many legal and compatibility issues to overcome, but is the technology itself worth the purchase? This review will also follow in the coming weeks.

As for me, I'm going to watch Lord of the Rings on my new system and see if I can stretch these speakers to their limit.
