AV projectors
AV PROJECTOR OF THE YEAR UNDER A$7500
Viewsonic V57-4K A$5499
Judges’ Comment: Don’t dismiss ViewSonic’s V57-4K on the grounds of size, weight or ugliness. Who cares about that when it’ll be sitting in the dark at the back of the room, delivering bright, bold and colourful images on the big screen!
AV PROJECTOR OF THE YEAR A$7500-A$15,000
BenQ W5800 A$8999
Judges' Comment: BenQ’s W5800 is a belter of a home cinema projector, its high-quality light engine and glass delivering stunning images popping with life, as well as shining with accurate cinematic colours on screens up to 200 inches.
AV PROJECTOR OF THE YEAR OVER A$15,000
Sony VPL-XW6100ES aka Bravia 8 projector A$21,999
Judges' Comment: Sony’s latest native-4K projector is a marvel, its images magnificent in their detail, their strength and their stability: it’s not merely resolution, it’s the quality of processing here, and an innate feeling of stability to the picture.
TV
TELEVISION OF THE YEAR
TCL C855
Judges' Comment: The C855 series from TCL delivers high-performance QD Mini-LED imaging on attractively-priced large screen sizes, while Google TV assures they are absolutely loaded for smart streaming.
AV receivers
AV RECEIVER OF THE YEAR UNDER A$2500
Yamaha Aventage RX-A4A A$2299
Judges' Comment: So much fun (which is the point of it all) created from technologies borne from a long line of high-performing multichannel predecessors: solid power reserves for a seven-channel system, plus comprehensive connectivity and processing.
AV RECEIVER OF THE YEAR A$2500-A$5000
Marantz Cinema 60 A$2500
Judges' Comment: Marantz’s latest midrange ‘Cinema 60’ receiver not only carries the company’s new stylish livery, it brings the power for seven channels of surround sound, and handles a great deal more besides, including music streaming from built-in HEOS. Wide versatility ensures strong performance in any set-up.
AV RECEIVER OF THE YEAR OVER A$5000
Marantz Cinema 30 A$8000
Judges' Comment: The ‘reference’ integrated AV receiver from Marantz may be the size of a beast, but it displays sense in its operations and subtle sensibility behind the 11 channels of power it provides for cinema and music alike. A true home cinema star.
AV SOLUTION OF THE YEAR
Anthem MRX SLM A$2499
Judges' Comment: This compact hideaway five-channel receiver deserves to bring multichannel movies and music into areas of the home from which it has been rudely banished.
Soundbar
SOUNDBAR OF THE YEAR
Krix LX-7 Linear LCR A$4995
Judges' Comment: It’s bar-shaped, but not your average soundbar; instead this is a passive LCR speaker set designed by Krix to take its place within a full surround system, where it will kick some sonic arse.
Cinema Design
CINEMA DESIGN 'GOLD' AWARD
The Digital Picture
Judges' Comment: A sleek, modern aesthetic as requested by the client, with acoustically treated walls and a high- resolution screen image ensuring an unparalleled viewing experience.
CINEMA DESIGN 'GOLD' AWARD
Wavetrain Cinemas
Judges' Comment: An illuminated ‘Dune’ circle sets the theme, this cinema excelling with a 9.4.4 Elementi-led audio system and 140-inch Cinema-scope screen despite the room’s difficult dimensions.
