When you're buying a car, sound may not be the first thing on your list, but if you're an audiophile then it should still be a concern.  After all, why should your listening experience suffer just because you're driving?  The BMW 6 coupe and convertible both come packed with a sound system created by Bang & Olufsen that utilizes 12 active loudspeakers and pumps out 1,000 watts of power.  This includes five tweeters, five mid-range speakers and a pair of subwoofers mounted under the front seats.

Stamford, Connecticut's Philips Electronics is debuting five brand new AirPlay Speaker Systems as a part of their Fidelio series, ranging in price from $229 - $799.  The most expensive model, the SoundSphere DS9800W systems, features  two two-way speakers, each with a 5.25-inch woofer, a 1-inch tweeter and a 2x50-watt amp.  An IR-remote and iPhone/iPod charging stand is included.  The $799 DS9800W will be the first in the series to debut, coming to stores next month.  It's available with a black lacquer finish.

Zvox has always been an interesting brand to follow.  They exclusively deal with soundbars and single cabinet audio and aim to compete directly with home theater-in-a-box solutions.  The latest releases from the company focus on high performance audio from one source, but also energy efficiency and ease of use.

When most companies talk home theater, they put emphasis on the word "home."  They're all about making a compact, nice looking set of speakers that will provide you with some decent sound while not fundamentally changing the look of your room.  Wilson Audio puts the emphasis on the word "theater."  That's evident from products like the brand new Watch Center Series 3 speaker, which combines some of the finest parts of Wilson's other speakers into one impressive center channel package.

Whether you call it a home theater system or a home theater in a box, there's no denying that there's a stigma attached to pre-packaged setups.  The latest systems from Onkyo break out of the traditional mold by offering something that most high-end receivers don't. The top three out of Onkyo's four new home theater systems come packed with the Marvell Qdeo 4K processor, capable of taking your 1080p content and bringing it up to 4K.
