Home Theater & Sound!

JL Audio introduced its subwoofers a couple of years ago, but the subs only began rolling out in 2006. The Fathom f113's name fits -- it's about the very depths of bass response. JL Audio's Carl Kennedy (left) accepts the Home Theater & Sound Product of the Year award for the f113 from Jeff Fritz.

NuForce blindsided the audio world with its small solid-state switching amplifiers, including the Reference 8.5, which earned Home Theater & Sound Product of the Year honors. Jason Lim (left) and Casey Ng (right) accept the award from Jeff Fritz. [www.nuforce.com]
