If you're one to embrace Class A amps, then you should wholeheartedly embrace the XA30.8. With the 7.1-channel Sigma SSP AV preamp, "Classé has both raised the bar and lowered the cost of entry for high-end audiophile performance from your system's AV preamp," says Jerry Del Colliano. It may not offer all the features you'll find in lower-priced AV preamps, but it delivers exceptional performance, rivaling or besting that of preamps that cost much more. ELAC's Uni-Fi line, designed by Andrew Jones, is a step up in price from the company's Debut Series, but it still represents an excellent value.
Most home theater projectors have a whole suite of connectivity options, but it’s still a good idea to make sure that every device you need will connect with the projector you like. In the world of home theaters, 4K TVs get a lot of hype, but if you’re looking for a true cinematic experience, you should consider getting a home theater projector. This feature-packed 4K home theater projector is a premium living room TV replacement due to its large display area and superior brightness.
Optoma HD141X Home Theater Projector
For typical mixed-use environments, look for a minimum of 1,500 lumens brightness. In an office or classroom setting, go with 2,500 lumens or brighter. The 1.8-pound Samsung Freestyle projector is noteworthy for its cylindrical design. Pivot the cylinder up to 180-degrees and aim it at a wall, ceiling or screen to view streamed content from your device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Based on where you position the projector, the Freestyle automatically adjusts the screen size to produce a crisp and vivid picture.
And that's saying something, since the Sony itself costs significantly more than any other projector on this list. It checks the box for gaming with the input lag reduction feature. And with brightness that can go up to 1,500 Lumens, it works well in a bright room as well.
JVC DLA-NZ8
Next, always remember to carefully measure out the space you plan to project in before buying your next projector. If you need to project in a space that’s less than six-feet from where the projector will be mounted to where the screen sits, you’ll have to invest in a short-throw model over a regular long-throw. Calculating the exact distance you’ll need to get the picture size you want out of your projector is easy if you use the tool provided here. 1000 lumens is the sweet spot for night watching, while you’ll want something a little closer to 4000 lumens if your projector screen is near a window or experiences a lot of glare while the sun is still in the sky. 100% brightness uniformity is hard to achieve for most projectors, but then again, the HD28DSE isn’t like most projectors. Home theater projectors use a lamp to project your source video.
The price is reasonable for the quality that this product offers. Buyers will not have to feel alone when setting up their projector. Aurum Cantus is a highly respected OEM of ribbon, AMT, and cone drivers for speaker manufacturers like Lawrence Audio, but the company also makes its own speakers. Now that Aurum Cantus has a U.S. distributor , Terry London decided to check out the three-way V7F floorstanding speaker and was absolutely blown away by its performance. As an added perk, he calls the V7F "one of the most beautiful speakers he has reviewed in a long time."

If price is no object, the picture quality is incredible. Like the Epson 6040UB listed above, the DLA-X750R is technically a 1080p projector that use pixel-shifting technology to simulate a 4K image, and it supports HDR and DCI-P3 color. Unlike the Epson, the JVC can deliver HDR video and P3 color at the same time, which should justify the step up in price for the videophile who wants all the best goodies that Ultra HD Blu-ray has to offer. Plus, JVC projectors still deliver the best black level in the business, and this THX-certified projector offers a very clean, accurate, beautiful picture.

In selecting our category winners – Best in Class awards, and specialty awards, 2016 continued the recent challenge, of too few projectors to review. It’s a good thing we are considering those projectors from previous years that are still current. The short version is that in the past five years, I believe the average life of a home projector model has more than doubled, with most staying on the market for two years or longer.
