The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Really Easy to Use and Versatile

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first experience with the Apple Pencil paired with an iPad Pro 10.5. The pairing process was easy, and the device charges from the Lightning port on the iPad. The pencil has a lot of options available and is remarkably user friendly. The only thing I'd add is some type of clip so you can easily secure it in a briefcase, etc.

Wire is Great, Hard to Read the Phase Info
on January 22, 2018
Posted by: Marv
from Chandler, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this wire to connect my rear surround speakers and a Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit. The wire is much easier to manipulate than the higher grade speaker wire, and I felt it would be sufficient for the rear channels through the wireless connection on the Rocketfish. My only complaint is that, while the wire is marked to indicate proper phase, the writing and identifying dots are very small and difficult to make out in normal lighting conditions. I had to work pretty hard to get everything connected properly. Partly this is my old eyes, but they could make it a lot easier by marking the wire with a bright stripe or some other easy identifier. Other than than, the wire is great and easy to work with, and much less $$ than the monster wire.

Nice Stands at the Price Point
on January 22, 2018
Posted by: Marv

Verified Purchase:Yes
These are well made stands for the money. They easily support my Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 rear surround speakers. The base and tubing are well made, and there are several varieties of mounting brackets and hardware in the box allowing you to conveniently deal with different speaker configurations. The stand tubes are hollow and have a cutout at the top and bottom so that you can thread your speaker wires through the inside of the tube rather than having to display it outside. This is a nice touch and looks a lot cleaner and more professional. I am very pleased with these for the price.

Convenient and Avoids Wires!
on January 22, 2018
Posted by: Marv
from Chandler, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up this system to wirelessly connect my Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 speakers as the rear surround channels for my home theater system. I live at an apartment and did not have the capability of threading wires from the front to the rear of my room without disrupting the room. The sound quality is fine. Setup is simple. Occasionally I think there is just a millisecond or 2 of lag over the WiFi, but it has not been a problem at all and if it truly exists is barely noticeable and doesn't detract from the experience. The rear unit has a built in volume control knob which is a nice feature. If your speakers are right by the ends of the couch like mine are, this is very handy to adjust to a comfortable listening level after tuning the room.

Nice Speakers at the Price Point

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased a pair of these on sale to use as rear surround speakers. They look good, have a great sound quality and mounted easily on the Sanos stands that I purchased at the same time. The addition of these speakers really rounded out my home theater. I have Definitive technology 9040 towers with Atmos modules and 9040 center channel speaker up front. The ProMonitors are mounted at the back. I hooked them wirelessly to my system with the Rocketfish adapter.

Great Sound Small Package!
on October 6, 2017
Posted by: Marv
from Chandler, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a really well made speaker and has excellent sound quality for its size and price point. I recently purchased 2 HEOS 7 units to use in my house coupled with my Denon X3400H Receiver. I added this HEOS 1 unit in my master bath room to complete my full house system. Not only is the sound good, but the unit is sealed and humidity resistant so it is perfect for use in the bathroom. I'm very happy with HEOS thus far and plan on adding some speakers to my cabin next summer for a sound system there.

Very Impressed for the Price Point
on September 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a number of older CDs and when my old CD player died I chose this unit after discussing it with my Magnolia rep. I've been really impressed with the simple operation and it is really nice to have 6 discs inserted at the same time. Plus, there seems to be some memory in the system so you can actually change out a disc while another selection is playing. This is a really nice feature. The unit also features a green light on the front panel when power is on. Sound quality is solid and really sounds nice on my Definitive Technology tower speakers. I would highly recommend this unit for the price point. I think you could spend a lot more with no noticeable increase in quality of output.

Power Protection
on September 5, 2017
Posted by: Marv
from Chandler, AZ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Panamax unit is a low profile so it easily fits inside most entertainment centers and can also be rack mounted. There is a power on indicator light on the front panel to indicate that the master power to all outlets is on, and there is a blue equipment light that can be turned on and off. I think this is used mainly for rack mount applications to illuminate the inside of the rack, but it is a nice visual feature in any case. This is one of those purchases that you really can't see the unit in operation, but I'm impressed with the value for the money, and after spending a lot on a nice home theater setup, the extra couple hundred dollars is well worth it to protect the investment in nice equipment.

These speaker cables perform! Optimal might flash in your mind when you hear the sheer perfection of the sounds that happen when you connect your home audio speakers to an amplifier or receiver. This 14 AWG speaker cable is from the Magnolia premium home theater assortment. It features a long-grain copper design for fewer grain boundaries and lower distortion and semi-solid concentric packed conductors for excellent signal conductivity.

Great Quality Wire

After years of using standard speaker wires my Magnolia rep introduced me to this wire. I'm very impressed, and it is definitely worth the investment in $$ to move up to this wire over standard wiring.

What is DAC ?
A DAC is a Digital to Analog Converter. Digital music sources are sampled multiple times per second and converted to analog output compatible with a speaker system. The higher the "bit rate" the more times per second the signal is sampled, which equates to a more "pure" or higher quality conversion into analog output.
