Hey, hosers. I spent some time with the new 🇨🇦-made Fluance Ri71 powered bookshelf speakers, and can confirm that they sound maple-syrup sweet, but can get their #elbowsup in the volume department, if need be (👀). They're good on and off the shelf with Bluetooth and HDMI ARC. Check oot my review:
Fluance Ri71 speaker review: Power and function that goes beyond the bookshelf
The Fluance Ri71 powered bookshelf speakers offer great sound and a variety of inputs for creating a superb multi-purpose sound setup, for less than $500.

I'm not big on karaoke until around beer 5, but the Soundcore Rave 3S is the best karaoke speaker I've ever tested. Its AI vocal removal almost completely strips vocals from any song, and its wireless mics connect so easily even drunk me could do it. Now shush while I belt out Livin' on a Prayer.
Soundcore Rave 3S review: Superb wireless mics make this karaoke speaker sing
Party speakers are loud and cool, but you know what's cooler? Karaoke speakers, and the Soundcore Rave 3S might be the best one you can buy right now.

The Ayrton Senna mini series on Netflix was just ok. Gabriel Leone was good, and the racing action was well done, but it tries a little too hard with the ‘80s/90s nostalgia and music.

Oops, I did it again and cheated on my vinyl collection with another bygone physical music format, the CD. fiioofficial's DM13 is a solid CD Walkman-like rehash, but with some advanced Bluetooth codecs and modern modern tricks up its sleeve. www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater...
Fiio DM13 review: Get ready to fall in love with CDs all over again
