The gifts our team is wrapping this year.

Imagine pressing play on a song you’ve heard a hundred times, and catching things you didn’t know were in the recording: a breath before a lyric, a guitar part buried in the mix. Close your eyes, and it’s as if the artist is performing right there in your home. That’s usually the moment people get it.

With their sculpted design and exquisite finishes, these speakers are also true works of art that elevate any space.

After more than 25 years in the luxury home technology industry, I can tell you that experiences like this are what make exceptional audio so special.

Most TVs spend more time off than on. This pick makes those hours count without giving anything up on picture, whether it’s movie night or the game on a sunny afternoon.

Sony’s BRAVIA 7 II and 9 II both have an excellent picture and handle bright rooms with big windows well, which is where a lot of TVs struggle. The picture also holds up from the side, so the end of the sofa isn’t the bad seat. The 9 II is the step up if picture quality is the priority.

Add a Leon Studio Frame, a wood-veneer frame built to fit these models, and when the TV is off it displays artwork or photography instead. The frame comes in a few finishes, and your Bravas team can help you pick the model, size and finish that suit the room.

Not everyone wants a home theater. A lot of people just want their TV to sound better without adding a bunch of equipment to the living room. That’s who the Arc Ultra is for: one soundbar under the TV, and you’re done.

The difference is easy to hear. Voices are clear, so you’re not turning the volume up and down all night, and movies have real bass without a separate subwoofer. It plays music too, so it gets used even when the TV is off.

If you want more later, you can add a subwoofer or rear speakers, and your Bravas team can connect it to the rest of your home. For most rooms, though, the soundbar on its own does the job.
