The Audi A6 has been one of the most popular executive sedans from the German marque since it launched almost two decades ago. It has been on the forefront of technological advances in their fleet, second, perhaps, only to the Audi A8, and has been ever in the limelight for being the muscular gentlemanly car. And if such a category didn’t exist before, the A6 certainly personifies that image.
So the latest iteration of the A6 sees a really interesting amalgamation of Audi’s new design feel that we’ve seen in both the new A8 and the A7. The front of the car looks incredibly sharp; thanks to the stretched out LED headlamps that look more like an angry squint. The double layers formed by the daytime LEDs and Xenon headlights gives it a very distinctive look that’s now standard in all Audi cars. As is the huge front grill that we have come to associate with the Audi brand since the launch of their previous generation cars in mid-2000s.
Moving to the side we see long sweeping lines that looks too simple and very much like the previous generation A6. The distinguishing factor comes from the 20-inch forged aluminum wheels that have shiny brushed metal finishing on different angles to give the side profile of the A6 a gorgeous look. That, more than anything else, gives away the sports sedan nature of the A6. Well, the wheels and the 3.0 TFSI badge on the back, but I’ll get to that later.
Coming to the back we see the rear taillights continue to look rather subdued; it’s only in the night when you see the elegant glowing lines form beneath. The twin exhausts look great, but I would say overall the A6’s rear is its weakest design aspect.
So to wrap up the exterior of the A6, the front is very eye-catching, the sides would’ve looked incredibly bland were it not for the gorgeous wheels, and the back end is too composed for its own good, therein highlighting its mature target audience.

A home theater system is made up of many pieces and components. It’s critical, if you want the full ‘movie going’ experience, that you invest in a surround sound system. A lot of the system can be bought piecemeal as funds become available but if you want the best surround sound system then this part of the home theater setup should probably be bought all together. At the minimum you should buy the surround sound speakers as a set rather than trying to match them up later.
Just as the surround sound system is one of, if not the most important components in a good home theater system, the speakers are the most integral and important component of any decent surround sound system. You can skimp on some aspects of quality in amplifiers, receivers, and even tuners but if you skimp on the quality of your speakers it will not matter how much of an investment you’ve made in everything else because the sound will be inferior.
People will define their movie going experience differently to the next person. Some like the smell of freshly popped popcorn, others will enjoy the choc topped ice creams more, or the sweet smell of syrup from soda fountains. One of the biggest drawcards for many movie goers is the quality of the sound. It’s what keeps them coming back time after time despite the inconvenience of having to deal with all the annoyances that only the general public can provide such as cell phone interruptions, crying children and fumbling down the aisle to get to the restrooms.
Advances in technology can now help us to bring this same quality of sound into our homes. Supply and demand, decreasing manufacturing costs, technological advances and increased competition are now all helping to make it a very affordable option. There is never too much to be said about how quickly the newness of electronics expires in order to be replaced by something newer and better next year. It wasn’t that long ago that DVD players were priced out of reach of many people. Now virtually everyone has more than one in their home. A measly $30 will get you one these days and with more features than the original models that came out. Can you imagine how little surround sound systems will be selling for an a few short years?
We are already seeing significant price drops in the box systems that are being sold on the market today. Gone are the days when these systems were merely the off brands trying to generate some sells by offering a low price and questionable quality. Many well known reputable brands are providing stiff competition to those companies that don’t provide box systems at competitive prices.
That being said, you will want to take the effort to listen to any system you are considering before you buy it. It takes no small investment of time and energy in order to set up a surround sound system and while there are no guarantees that a system will sound the same in your home or apartment as it sounds in the store having a clue as to any problems before getting it home and setting it up will save both time and money in the long run.
