A year of reviews, of theaters, a year of features. So many to chose from.

So on this last day of the year, here's a look back at our most popular features, reviews, and custom installations of the year.

À la carte

Lots of great articles this month, from the ultimate in headphones to the ultimate in getting audio off your computer and into your ears.

Plus, of course, a duo of Netflix enabled Blu-ray players, a $14,500 CD player, and some of the best little speakers you'll ever hear.

Just when you thought your Blu-rays were safe…

Like it's rival, the LG BD300, the BD-P2500 is no simple Blu-ray player.

It has the ability to stream content directly from Netflix.

While this may seem odd, it adds a level of functionality that is surely the future of entertainment.

Reel Additions

If you’ve been staring at a naked home theater or media room wall for far too long, stare no more.

This trio of multi-sized and multicolored film reels adds a touch of artsy flair to any entertainment zone—even if the reels stay put on the floor, as shown.

All the info after the jump.

Blu-ray and… Netflix?

Why would you want to download SD movies on your new Blu-ray player? That was my first thought when learning about the BD300 (and it's rival, the Samsung BD-P2500).

Upon using it though, I get it.

And it's really cool.
