We just sent out our April newsletter, in it you’ll see we have some great bargains from Magneplanar, Marantz and some special package deals. We’re also very excited about the launch of Mordaunt Short speakers in New Zealand, offering staggering value for money. Plus, we have some great new products from all the top brands.

Here’s a snippet from the newsletter regarding HDMI 1.4:

It’s a very interesting time in the Hifi market at the moment, on the one hand we have struggling retailers closing their doors, and on the other we have an AV market flooded with out of date TVs and AV receivers being sold at very low prices. With the onslaught of 3D and HDMI 1.4 enabled TVs, Blu ray players and AV Receivers, it makes the world of Home Theatre a daunting place for customers!

HDMI 1.4 adds the capability of sending two high definition (1080p) signals simultaneously – for 3D – as well as enabling and internet connection over the HDMI cable, its easy to see where AV products are heading. If you want the latest and are trying to future proof your purchase, you may want to wait until the HDMI 1.4 spec AV products hit the market here in NZ. If you just want a high quality receiver that has the latest high definition surround formats and aren’t bothered with 3D, then the Cambridge Audio 650R Receiver is for you.
