Denon Introduces Two New Home Theater Systems

October 15th, 2012

Denon will be introducing two new home theater surround sound systems, the DHT-8313, (MSRP $445), and the DHT-S413 (MSRP $573). There is no word right now if this will be available in North America, however if this system is as good as people are saying, we want to ensure we discuss this will you all.

Original reports state that the DHT-8313 is perfect for a 32″ TV with output levels of 20W x 3 for the front speakers  and 20W from the subwoofer. The DHT-S413 is made for 40″ TV screens and higher with front speakers output of 25W x 3 and 25W for the subwoofer. Each version has the Dolby Virtual Speaker surround sound, Dolby Pro Logic ll, DTS support, PCM audio for Blu-ray, and a surround option with five genre specific modes.

Surround sound and the placement of the speakers is detrimental to your home theater. The great people at HD Nation speak indepth about this in the clip below. Regardless that this clip is a few years old, the basis of the topic is interesting.

Denon states they have “raised the bar” with their two new systems. We understand the importance of a sound system and where it’s placed. Just click on the picture to the left for a bigger version to help you set up your home theater. We have examples on how to layout your theater right here on our website under the heading, “Layout Ideas”. These are just diagrams but we do custom layout configurations for our customers.

We hope the DHT-8313 and the DHT-S413 are released in North America so we can have more reviews about it and we can hear it for ourselves. If Denon has raised the bar, we would love to test this out. There are so many choices on the market so choosing a surround sound system can be hard. We ensure to write about as many new releases as possible to give you options to choose from.

We always appreciate your comments and feedback so contact through Facebook, Twitter, email or by phone. If you have purchased the Denon DHT-8313 or the DHT-S413, we would love to hear your opinions.

There’s More To Hockey Than The NHL

September 19th, 2012

On September 15, 2012 the NHL once again locked out the players because of a dispute over the CBA, (Collective Bargaining Agreement). The NHLPA, the union representing the players, has stated the lockout was not their decision and the owners are to blame. Regardless of who is at fault we are now witnessing the third lockout in the NHL since the 1994-1995 season was cut short for the exact same reason. Once the summer is over, sports fans are excited because the NFL and the NHL are gearing up for a new season. NFL fans are sighing a bit of relief as their season was in jeopardy over issues with the officials. The issue is not resolved at all, luckily the NFL was able to get amateur officials to step in. NHL aren’t as lucky. Fans around the league are upset and fed up and they have every right to feel this way. However, there is an alternative to watching the NHL games. If you’re a fan of the game of hockey you can resort to other leagues who can be just as exciting. 

Alternate Leagues Include But Not Exclusive To:

CHL: The Canadian Hockey League is an umbrella league consisting of three leagues, WHL (Western Hockey League), OHL (Ontario Hockey League), & QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).

1) WHL: The Western Hockey League consists of twenty-two teams. Vancouver Giants, Everett Silvertips, Brandon Wheatkings, Seattle Thunderbirds, & Kamloops Blazers make up a handful of the teams in this league. Regionally from Oregon and Washington state in the US and from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in Canada.

2) OHL: The Ontario Hockey League consists of twenty teams. London Knights, Barrie Colts, Ottawa 67′s, Sarnia Sting, & Sudbury Wolves are some of the teams in this league. Every team in this league resides in the province of Ontario, Canada.

3) QMJHL: The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League consists of eighteen teams. Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, Moncton Wildcats, Quebec Remparts, P.E.I. Rocket, & Saint John Sea Dogs make up a handful of the teams in this league. Regionally,, QMJHL cover the Canadian regions of Quebec, P.E.I, New Brunswick, & Nova Scotia.

AHL: The American Hockey League consists of thirty teams. Abbotsford Heat, Toronto Marlies, Adirondack Phantoms, Grand Rapids Griffins, & Texas Stars are just some of the teams in this league. The AHL covers BC, New Foundland, & Ontario in Canada and the American states have teams in New Hampshire, Maine, Texas, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.

CHL: The Central Hockey League consists of ten teams, {not be mistaken with the Canadian league, The Canadian Hockey League CHL}. Arizona Sundogs, Denver Cutthroats, & Quad City Mallards are some of the teams in this league. Regionally covering the following US states: Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, & Arizona.

All over Europe and Russia hockey leagues have already started their seasons. Do not worry hockey fans, there are plenty of games we can watch in the comfort of our own home theaters. Many of these teams have local TV coverage and with the NHL inactive, major networks like TSN and ESPN might pick up these other games. So until the NHL is back we still have exciting games we can watch this fall.
