Dayton Audio Epique CBT24 Speaker System.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING completely different: Dayton Audio’s Epique CBT24.

What’s an Epique CBT24? A 24-driver, no-crossover, one-way tower loudspeaker that stands 5 feet tall yet is no more than 3.5 inches wide over its full, dramatically arched length. A tower speaker with a unique geometry, pedigree, visual aesthetic, and equally unique technical story (and even marketing plan).

The CBT24 is the first product in a new Epique line offered by Dayton Audio and is sold via that brand’s Parts Express website (parts-express. com), known for its array of direct to-consumer parts, drivers, kits, and audio products for the value and DIY buyer. Like many of Dayton’s speakers, Epique is offered in both assembled and kit forms. (We opted for the former: They don’t pay me enough to screw 48 tiny drivers into baffles and then wire them without making a mistake, and as for woodworking…).

The Big Clean

Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner

When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
