Congrats to Kaleidescape! Company Celebrates 25 Years of Delivering High-Fidelity Movies

March 27, 2026 by Ted Leave a Comment

Kaleidescape, the industry’s leading provider of high-fidelity movies and high-performance movie streaming devices, is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Since 2001, the company has excelled in providing movie lovers with the best-looking and sounding movies. It’s a remarkable milestone when you consider that over that time, the company flirted with its survivability as the industry initially strongly resisted the idea of allowing homes across America to copy digital copies of movies to home servers.

But the company eventually found a legally safe path forward, overcoming the controversies and becoming the leading provider of high-fidelity movies at home.

Dr. Steve Weber was building a home in Colorado, and he needed an integrator to design and install the home’s automation system. Although he didn’t know it at the time, the result of that experience would alter the course of his career.

NY Times Lead Tech Reporter Says, Even with an ‘A.I. Reboot’, the Smart Home ‘Still Doesn’t Work’

March 26, 2026 by Ted Leave a Comment

The NY Times tested an A.I.-enabled smart home system and was disappointed

This week, I ran across yet another in a long line of critical articles about the unreliability of Smart Home technology. This one, from the New York Times, stings a little more, as it updates the well-worn path of complaints about home automation technologies, with a still-uncomplimentary perspective on new A.I.-enabled versions. The blunt conclusion: the Smart Home “Still Doesn’t Work.”

See why the Times says that Smart Home is still a ‘Dud, But With A.I.’

AudioControl announced today the launch of the all-new Hyperion Series line of high-performance home theater products. This Hyperion Series is a completely updated line that builds upon AudioControl’s decades of experience in innovative high-performance audio system design, combined with sister company AVPro Edge’s cutting-edge video capabilities and system networking expertise.

The resulting redesigned Hyperion Series – a dramatic departure from past AudioControl designs – looks, feels, and I’m sure sounds like what might be one of the most contemporary high-performance home theater lines on the market today.

The Goal of New Sonos Play & Era 100 SL: Simply to be Entry Points into a Sonos System

March 12, 2026 by Ted Leave a Comment

Sonos is focused on driving system sales

Sonos, a company that has recently scaled back its research and development team as part of a companywide austerity program to improve earnings, is resorting to some old “tried and true” methods of launching “new” and “innovative” products…by updating previous models. CEO Tom Conrad called it “…building on what already works.”

As such, it has introduced the “new” Play and Era 100 SL models. Will this strategy attract new users???

In a move that has some of Strata-gee’s sources perplexed and scratching their heads, high-end commercial and pro video projector and display manufacturer Barco (Euronext: BAR) announced this week that it has reached an agreement in principle to acquire VerVent Audio Holding (“VerVent” and “Vervent”). VerVent itself was created by the merger of French loudspeaker maker Focal and British high-performance audio electronics manufacturer NAIM some years ago.

Housing Starts Had Nice December Bump, But Dropped in Full Year 2025

March 5, 2026 by Ted Leave a Comment

New home being constructed - a housing start

The government is normally a very reliable source of key economic data. Lately, however, it has been thrown into a bit of disarray ever since the first government shutdown, and now again into a second partial shutdown, causing a delay in the delivery of its reports. In any event, we now have December 2025 residential construction data, which shows an increase in housing starts compared to November. However, December’s starts remain below the rate set in December 2024. Starts for the full year of 2025 dropped for single-family and overall starts.

See more on the housing starts data for December…
