The ‘den’: high-end audio for your garage

by Ed on April 18th, 2008

Attached is a picture to help describe one of the hottest trends for ‘08 - the garage as the ultimate man sanctuary! Maybe it has something to do with all the sexy sheetmetal on the market right now or maybe it’s because the ‘den’ was somehow turned into a sewing room but the garage is becoming most mens’ only refuge at an alarming rate. Axiom Audio will be releasing a diamond-plate on-wall version of their M3 speaker, a distinctly make look that the missus probably wouldn’t let fly in her Pottery Barn living room, perfect for those with 3 TVs, gaming stations and a beer, er, water fridge in their garage. We highly recommend a nice throw rug, chesterfield and ottoman to make your ride-oggling, wine-sipping and listening that much more pleasurable. Aural satisfaction starts at around $375. www.axiomaudio.com.

Hot off the press!

Well waiting to be pressed actually. Those two giant rolls of paper (two of a bunch required to print Sharp’s 150,000 copies) are awaiting their fate as the pages of Sharp magazine. There are worse ways to go. As if Calgarians aren’t lucky enough (Texas tea running under their feet and all) they will also be the first people to receive Sharp when selected Globe and Mail readers find it in their papers April 18th. The rest of the country will have to wait until April 21st but that’s a small price to pay to finally hold a Canadian magazine for men in your hands.
