Green Home Theater News

Using less power is en vogue in all parts of the country and the world of home theater and audiophile products is no exception. Today's uber-thin HDTVs use many times less power than plasma HDTVs from just a few years ago. Audiophile Class-D switching amps (known as digital amps) use far less power than Class-A audiophile amps from the past. Single ended triode (SET) audiophile electronics are also easy on the power. Lighting control systems help curb the use of AC power in modern home theater media rooms. If you are looking for creative ideas and products to help save power, use less harmful materials and be more kind to the environment - you have come to the right news archive on HomeTheaterReview.com.
