Theater Review: Who Stole Anne Frank?


Co mpulsion , the new play by Rinnie Groff that opened Thursday at the Public Theater, is a strange piece of work. What is at base a fairly straightforward and essentially true story-frustrated writer goes mad-is simultaneously many different tales rolled into one. It's about obsession, about paranoia, about writing and creativity and ownership of ideas; it's about the Holocaust and how American ...

Description

Improves picture and sound quality. Level 4 Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power (including loss of detail, pops, hisses, hums and visual artifacts) and allows your A/V equipment to perform up to its full capability. Monitors incoming line voltage and provides a visual indication of power level. Panamax¿s patent pending AVM circuitry continuously monitors the incoming power as displayed on the digital voltmeter. In case of an under-voltage or an overvoltage, a flashing red lightning bolt will be displayed in the voltmeter, and power to the connected equipment is automatically turned off if either of these conditions is detected. When voltage returns to a safe level, power to the equipment is automatically reconnected. Reduces cross-contamination between components. The M5300-PM is designed to provide noise isolation between 5 isolated outlet banks (including 1 bank with 2 high current outlets) so that any noise created by an A/V component cannot contaminate the power going to equipment plugged into another outlet bank.

Features

  • Improves picture and sound quality
  • Level 4 Power Cleaning and Filtration eliminates common symptoms of contaminated power
  • Reduces cross-contamination between components
  • Designed to provide noise isolation between 5 isolated outlet banks (including 1 bank with 2 high-current outlets)

Description

Here's a speaker system that offers a great home theater experience, no matter where you sit. Includes the THX Ultra2 Certified TX-T3SE tower speakers, a marvellous THX Select Certified center speaker whose ability with voices will astonish, THX Select dipole speakers for rear effects and a hefty 200W active THX Select certified subwoofer. Perhaps the most distinctive piece of engineering on the T3s is the proprietary 'free air' tweeter. Sitting in its own ultra-rigid, spherical, aluminium enclosure on top of the cabinets, the design can be rotated to face the listener, making room integration far easier. Free of unwanted distortion, due its shape, it delivers a clear, transparent sound with excellent dispersion. Lower down the frequency range, T3s employ 7'' Crystal fibre mid/bass drivers that comprise tightly woven fibreglass whose mechanical properties - light yet extremely stiff -deliver a linear and fast response. The magnetically shielded drivers are backed by heavy duty, powerful magnets, delivering very high efficiency levels. Each driver is housed in its own damped chamber, sealed or ported, for the optimum bass tuning that can be achieved at this volume. Cabinets are heavily braced at critical points to offer an acoustically dead enclosure. They also offer small, narrow, though deep, footprints. This shape reduces diffractions - especially from the front baffles - giving an incredibly three-dimensional soundstage and far clearer stereo imaging. A similar design is found in the THX centre speaker which uses a rotating tweeter and one 7'' Crystal fibre woofer to deliver exceptional vocals. The rear effects are assigned to the THX dipole speakers which use two silk dome, reverse facing tweeters that immerse the listener in the action. Completing the package is a 200W active subwoofer with a 12'' long throw driver incorporating a light but rigid specially treated paper cone for fast, dynamic, transient bass with sonic accuracy.

Features

  • THX® Ultra2 Certified Speakers designed for supreme performance of music and movies
  • THX Select Certified Speakers designed for pure performance of music and movies. Dipole surround pair for immersing effects.
  • Electronic tweeter protection for safe listening at high levels
  • Active Sub, with 12'' woofer with a 200W amplifier.
  • +/-1.5dB Accuracy of Frequency Response in all axes for extremely balanced reproduction. Luxurious combination of high gloss and black ash finish
