You might have already seen Monitor Audio’s new i-Deck 100 and 200, but I bet you’ve never seen them naked. I got the chance in the company’s Expo booth, where one of its engineers was kind enough to pluck one of the grilles off an i-Deck 200 for me. Yep, those are real Monitor Audio drivers underneath: two 4-inch C-CAM metal/ceramic woofers and two 1-inch gold C-CAM tweeters. With four amps totaling 140 watts inside, it seems like a great deal at $599.

Brent,
I've been reading the various soundbar reviews on this site trying to decide between a few different soundbars. I'm at a loss though on and need some expert advice.
I was debating between the ZVOX 580 and the BA TVee 30. Then I found comments for the upcoming PowerBar 235.
I'm no audiophile, and cost is a factor. However, I'm willing to spend a bit more on to get quality and a good user experience. That being said, I don't know which of these 3 is my best option. I'm using mainly for movies and tv, though will likely listen to some audio CDs (or my wife will).
The ZVOX cost is half that of the PowerBar, though the PowerBar is "higher end". The BA is a bit more than the ZVOX, but I've read poor reviews regarding customer service. Any recommendations or guidance?
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
--Hummad
