But with three wall studs required it still can carry 200 pounds of electronics heft to it when it's mounted… View this story

News flash: The way to rise above the recession is to develop products people love. Most people don’t love audio anymore. They just love the portability and how easy it is to get content. Just ask Apple, which is calling its fiscal third quarter its best non-holiday quarter ever. Apple reports revenue of $8.34 billion and a net quarterly profit of $1.23 billion. The gross margin was 36.3 percent, up from 34.8 percent in 2008 Q3. iPhones drove the success. Apple sold 5.2 million iPhones, representing 626 percent unit growth… View this story

Internet sales are not permitted, and SnapAV does not sell to consumers. "We protect dealer margins," says VP of marketing Adam Levy.… View this story
