		<title>When it Comes to Excellent &#8220;Green&#8221; Lighting, the Opportunity is Now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Imagine not having to change a light bulb for over 20 years.
There are LED products available in 2010 that will make frequent light bulb changes a thing of the past.


The term &#8220;LED&#8221; immediately invokes images of traffic signals, brake lights and headlights on luxury cars, and indicator lights on appliances. That is about to change. Lighting manufacturers have invested considerable time, effort and research into adapting this super energy-efficient technology for residential use. The technology has advanced enough to  win approval from the government&#8217;s popular Energy Star® program.
The year 2010 will be the first ...]]></description>

		<title>Ask The Advisors about Audio Video Furniture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;It is surprising to me how often the A/V Furniture is at best an afterthought for people.&#8221;
First of all there are just about no TV’s still available designed to sit on the floor. 
In the days of the big rear projection sets you just rolled the monster into position and you were done with the TV.  Not anymore; now the television must be placed on a piece of Furniture, a stand, or even hung on the wall.  Now what about all that other stuff that goes with it?  You have an A/V ...]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re proud to introduce Kenwood Excelon Car Audio!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m often asked by customers who visit our showroom why we carry a “limited line” of car audio products and my answer is always the same.
“We continue to offer products from brands that provide a high level of performance, dependability and value.”
Over the past two decades, Ask the Advisors has carried many brands of car audio- from some of the biggest names including Alpine, Eclipse, JL Audio, Morel, Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer, Phoenix Gold, Tru Technologies and others.
Over the years, the industry has changed, and many of these solid brands from “back in the day” have ...]]></description>

		<title>A blog about blogging…as it were.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because of the Holidays and how crazy busy we get around here that time of year we have had no real additions to our blogs for a couple of months now.
Quite surprising to us all is the number of people that have written us and asked us to get going again.  It seems that there are a good number of people that actually read and enjoy what we write.
Heck there were even a few people that admitted they learned a few things from us!  I cannot tell you how surprised and happy I ...]]></description>

		<title>The sub sounds great!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Chuck,
I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and I appreciate all the advice you've given me. The sub sounds great and I could not be happier with the set up. I will be sure to come back if I choose to replace the speakers.

		<title>iPhone, iTouch, iPod, &amp; Auxiliary Interfaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve managed to keep up with technology, you’ve probably already purchased (or are in the process of purchasing) an iPod or MP3 player. These little music players are a great way to take your music along (and weigh less than the old 5 pound Sony Walkman back in the day, too!) and enable you to store thousands of songs.
The current trend has consumers searching for reliable solutions to interface iPods and MP3 players with existing factory (OEM) car stereo systems, and for the most part, there are good solutions out there that work.
Some of ...]]></description>

		<title>Integra? who the heck is Integra</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Integra is the High-End division of Onkyo, and was formed 10 years ago to serve the needs of custom integrators like Ask the Advisors; and you the more demanding client.

Custom Integrators like us had specific an unique product needs, and no one was filling them.
Going back 10 years a lot of the major electronics companies were just starting to realize that Integrators like Ask the Advisors needed more in the products we were selling and installing to fill the needs of our clients.  It was no longer ok to try to make the units ...]]></description>

		<title>Home Theater Speaker Systems…Hopefully De-Mystified</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


So you are ready to shop for a Home Theater speaker system and you have some questions; probably a lot of them.   Hopefully the following information will help.

First, be sure and print out all of the spec sheets on all of the speakers you are thinking of buying.  These will make wonderful lining for your birdcage, or make it easy to find packing material the next time you need to ship something fragile someplace.   You see most if not virtually all of the specs on a speaker mean little or ...]]></description>

		<title>Extended Warranties: Who Do They Benefit?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

 
 
 
“We’ll take care of everything”.
“It’s all covered, soup to nuts”.
“Your check will be in the mail in no time”.


Familiar terms these days to those of us buying extended service contracts. Clichés which are hurled across the retail store floor with abandon in an effort to get us to fork over as much cash as possible as quickly as possible.  They are thinly disguised efforts to convince us that we need something we usually don’t, at a price that’s far too steep to begin with.
The talking heads push extended warranties at every level, ...]]></description>
