As the July 4th holiday nears, we decided to cruise our own Shop Sound & Vision site to see what kind of deals we could rustle up. Here are 10 — five AV receivers and five speaker systems — that are worth a look. All are Sound & Vision Top Picks. Yes, some are older models and a couple are even discontinued, so they won’t be of great interest to those who live on the cutting edge…but it’s hard to ignore those prices. If not for your main system, there might be something here for that second system down the hall or the one in the basement. Or maybe your vacation home. Happy hunting.

Elite Screens is kicking off summer with a creative if not unusual outdoor product: a projection screen that attaches to a freestanding awning.

With almost half of 2018 behind us, now is the perfect time to reflect on the good AV fortune that has come our way over the past 147 days. We’ve reviewed dozens of products so far this year, including six shining examples of what a speaker system can and should be. Whether you’re just starting out or in the market for an upgrade, each of these systems — presented from least to most expensive — deserves serious consideration.

Rhino Entertainment today announced that it will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Door’s classic Waiting For The Sun with a special package featuring a remastered version of the original stereo mix on CD and 180-gram vinyl LP plus a second CD with 14 previously unreleased tracks.
