For a single person who just wants to head out and have fun, then maybe.

IMAGINE THAT Ferrari introduced a new mid-engine sports car that sold for only $30,000. Sounds like a killer deal, but would you jump at the opportunity? The answer to that question will probably depend on your life situation. For a single person who just wants to head out and have fun, then maybe. But if you have kids who need rides to school and soccer practice, probably not.

The Magnepan LRS (Little Ribbon Speaker) is a new model from one of the world’s premier speaker brands— one that sells for an almost absurdly low price. The catch here is that the LRS won’t work well in every setup and will only be a good match for certain types of listeners. More than just about any other speaker I can think of, it demands that you play matchmaker and carefully run through a personal checklist of qualities you want from a speaker. And if your priorities happen to match with the speaker’s strengths, you could be headed for a level of musical nirvana way beyond what its price tag would suggest.

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.
