Reader Reviews
Electronic House is a magazine devoted to electronic lovers who cannot seem to have enough cords and batteries, twinkling lights, LCD displays, and other electrical indicators around them at all times. This publication covers a wide array of electronic topics and issues, but it seems to be primarily concerned with new products. The items covered in Electronic House range from the common to the unusual and sometimes very expensive. I am often amazed at some of the things I read about in this magazine and the prices that people are willing to pay to own the perfect piece of electronic merchandise. It is common to see $10,000 audio components, $5,000 projectors, $4,000 speakers, and other outrageously priced luxury items in the pages of Electronic House. Often, these expensive items are reviewed and analyzed, with the author of the review attempting to explain why they cost so much and why they are worth paying such a high price to own. But all is not made exclusively for the rich and famous in this magazine. There are plenty of normal- priced goods in Electronic House, and the writing and commentary on these items is often very good. Besides the general advice on what to look for, how to find what you need, how to utilize the various features, and how to distinguish the good from the bad, Electronic House also has reviews of specific products, with ratings breakdowns, pros and cons, and the facts you need to make a purchase. Most of the time, Electronic House deals with the cold, hard truth in its numerous articles. This means that you won't find very many stories of a personal nature in this magazine. Instead, Electronic House sticks with the facts. It lets you know things like the amps of a set of speakers, the wattage capabilities of an audio device, the number of CD's that a changer can hold, etc. It doesn't waste much time walking you through, say, a specific family's home and letting you read along as mom, dad, and the kids enjoy their new electronics. This magazine is more of a buyers guide, advising readers on what they need to know to make the best buying decision. Overall, Electronic House is a good magazine and it makes a good choice of reading material for those who love the keep up with the latest in electronic technology. It's a trendy publication that includes some very interesting columns on brand new devices and some informative previews on the future of the electronics business and what new products are in the making. It's a little bit shorter than other publications and the cover price is high. But subscriptions carry a moderate price tag, making Electronic House a worthwhile magazine to read for those who like to keep up with the latest electronics trends. Comment | | (Report this)
