To be honest, this year's CES was stressful in a way that the other 10-plus shows that I've attended haven't been. Even so, there was plenty to see, and a lot of news to report. Undoubtedly, CES is a glimpse into all of our futures, whether we are buying or selling technology, as it points out the trends that will be driving tech in the months and years to come.
You could be forgiven for never having heard of MarkAudio Loudspeakers Ltd. Although the company's wide-range speakers have made their way into a few retail speakers on the other side of the pond, it's best known as a darling of the DIY speaker market. In other words, it's a long, long way from our stomping grounds. But I'd hazard a guess that you'll soon start hearing a little more about MarkAudio Ltd. as a result of the Viotti One.
"We call BasX our 'aspirational line,' but a powerhouse processor like the MC-700 crushes competitive models at similar price points… the MC-700 [is] the best choice for anybody who wants to take their home theater experience to another level, but without paying the high prices of typical audiophile gear." —Dan Laufman, president and founder, Emotiva
