Artison's 'masterpiece' for your home theater
Artison wants to make a "masterpiece" out of your home theater with its top-of-the-line speakers designed to fit snugly onto "virtually any" flat-panel TV.
A pair of Masterpiece LCR speakers comes equipped with Artison's UMB (universal mounting bracket). The Artison Masterpiece LCR speakers use DualMono, a patented technology, and Artison's G LCR Grilles, sold separately, to match the flat panel. Two speaker cabinets contain all three front channels, which the company says makes it seem as if dialog is radiating from the center of the screen, instead of above or below it like traditional three-speaker box set-ups.
The speakers measure 27 inches by 6 inches by 3.5 inches without the grille, which is provided in complementary colors to match each plasma model. You'll want to note, however, that this art requires a serious benefactor: The price tag is $2,500 per pair.
