Read moreAnother new surround sound technology from two speakers is set to hit the streets. The technical explanation of how it works is a little beyond my scope of expertise. Perhaps I can get John to interpret this: The TDK system employs a “giant magnetostrictive material” that uses; you guessed it ferromagnetic materials, to convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy to […]
