Polk RM6750In the audio world, Polk is a solid mid-range brand, putting the likes of Sony, JVC, and others to shame. When it comes to quality and value, Polk is always a solid choice. The only reason you don’t see as many Polk speakers around is because they leave the lower-end to those other brands, and that’s what most people end up picking up from their local Wal-Mart.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

A couple years ago, Polk introduced the RM6750 Home Theater Speaker system, with 4 satellite speakers, 1 center channel, and a subwoofer. At $500, it was a solid value.

But the RM705 replaced the RM6750 this year, which means remaining RM6750 systems are being cleared out at ridiculous prices.

How ridiculous? Try $199 including shipping from NewEgg. (Together the system weighs more than 40 pounds, so free shipping is clutch.)

At this price, I’m not even going to see how the RM6750 compares to other $200 systems—I already know it’s the best one out there. Bring your own receiver, though, this is strictly a speaker setup.

Sanyo PLV-Z700

Sanyo recently announced a new full-HD home projector that’s undoubtedly the one we’d pick up if we were in the market for one. Here’s what makes the PLV-Z700 so great:

  • 1080p support
  • displays up to 100-inch screen at either 3m or 6.1m away
  • electronic lens-protecting shutter
  • virtually silent (21dB) operation
  • wide-area lens shifting (up to +/- 100% vertical, +/- 50% horizontal)
  • Inputs: HDMI(x2), Component(x2), S-Video, Composite, RGB
  • 1,200 ANSI lumens

In other words, it’s got everything you’d really want and nothing that you don’t. That includes its price tag, which might seem steep at $1,995 from B&H but is actually very reasonable full-HD projector.
