JBL On Air Control 2.4G

The picture on the box that contains the JBL On Air Control 2.4G displays two speakers, a small transmitter, and a little remote, but omits the tangle of wires required to get any sound out of the system. It is, after all, a wireless speaker system--so we understand the motivation...

JBL SCS145.5S

The JBL SCS145.5S is one of the most compact Surround Cinema Speaker SCS packages we've seen from the company. The system's silver plastic sats stand a mere 4.5 inches tall and don't look all that different from the sort we find with entry-level home-theater-in-a-box systems. However, they sound considerably better--the...

JBL On Stage II iPod speakers

While the remote makes these speakers...

Creative i-Trigue i3350

Are the JBL Creature speakers too far out for your tastes? If you prefer a more conservative look for your home or office, check out Creative's equally powerful i-Trigue 2.1 i3350 speaker system. Like the JBL Creature set, this 2.1-speaker system sports three components: a subwoofer and two satellites.

KEF Universal Wireless Kit

Wireless speakers are a great concept--get rid of those nasty wires and place your speakers wherever you want. Then reality sets in: wireless speakers still need power, so they need to be tethered to a wall outlet. And if the speakers don't have a wireless receiver built-in, they need wires...

2006 Toyota RAV4 Sport

The 2006 RAV4 is aimed at those wanting a competitively priced, economical, lite SUV.
