If you’re looking to upgrade the crummy internal speakers that came in your HDTV or UHD TV and it’s not mounted on your wall, a "sound base" or "sound stand" is definitely one of your best options. That said, sound bases can get pretty pricey. The Sonos Playbase is a terrific option if you’re willing to spend $700, and so is the Bose Solo 15 at $379. On the flip side, you can also go for a budget option like this sound base from Pyle. If you’re looking for the perfect balance of quality and price, we recommend the VIZIO SS2521-C6 25-Inch 2.1 Channel Sound Stand with a built-in subwoofer.

With Tesla doing so well these days, it's sometimes difficult to remember where the company was at 10 years ago. Elon Musk and Tesla have become as one in the minds of the public, but the quiet truth is that Musk wasn't a founder of Tesla in a technical sense. Malcolm Smith and Martin Eberhard were the two Silicon Valley engineers who first came up with the idea of building an electric car that didn't suck. They came up with the name, the car concept, and founded the company. Musk came on board as an early investor and eventually took over in 2008 as CEO, but that's not the story that Musk wants to be remembered. Continue reading... Trending right now: Major …
