MBL's US$180K space-age speakers

Philip Wong | Dec 04, 2007

We've come across many speakers, from the naked Jamo Reference R 909 to the see-through Martin Logan Summit. But nothing comes close to the funky MBL's 101 X-treme. This has a pair of melon-like omni-directional drivers held in place by a structure of wood, metal and plastic. This is a guaranteed headturner together with the companion dual 6ft-tall subwoofers! At US$180,000 a set, it's more than enough for you to drive home a fully equipped BMW Z4 Roadster. That said, we're pretty sure there are enough millionaires around Asia with enough spare change for these one-of-a-kind MBL speakers.

Remote with Microsoft SlideShow technology!

Philip Wong | Dec 03, 2007

If you own a landed property with a huge backyard, perhaps the Ricavision Wave100 remote control may interest you. This USS$299 magic wand has an extended 17m range and is capable of controlling up to 20 A/V boxes and Windows Vista PCs. Unlike the Logitech Harmony, setup can be performed offline via an inbuilt IR code library compiled from over 1,500 brands. Other standard remote capabilities include learning function and macro programming.

Standard flair aside, the Wave100 is Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)-enabled out-of-the-box with the companion wireless transceiver integrated right into the docking station. Another cool feature is its Windows SideShow capability. This allows users to receive news and email on-the-fly, plus playback photos and music stored on PCs using a large 2.4-inch color screen. It's expected to ship from February 29, 2008, with international shipping available via the company’s online store.
