Koichi Futatsumata for Elikit has designed the Hybrid Tube Amplifier which epitomizes the philosophy "form follows function". Designed to complement modern and minimalist decor, the Hybrid Tube Amplifier will be a great addition to any audio or home theater set up. Measuring 265mm W x 103mm H x 151mm D, the compact form factor is no coincidence and doesn't even act as deterrent when it comes to the output. 12W + 12W is the rated power output and it also has a frequency response of 15~30000Hz. The on board input jacks ensure support for component players and portable music players and its Zen like design makes quite a visual statement.

The Wave Chaise in the images below is a perfect piece of modern furniture for a teenager's room, but not only. I can definitely see the bigger picture here, as the Wave Chaise could be the home entertainment oasis you have been dreaming about for so long. The Wave Chaise would perfectly fit into a smaller apartment thus converting a corner of it into the home theater setup you always wanted. The Wave Chaise looks great, has plenty of storage space for your multimedia and books, comes with plenty of built-in gadgets, it's ergonomic and comfortable, and, I must say this again, is more than pleasant to the eye. Designed by Roberta Ramme, the Wave Chaise is definitely something to consider, both by furniture manufacturers and by prospective customers. Via Designboom

In case you haven't seen any of the Transformers movies then you probably aren't aware that the AllSpark is a very important device for the average Transformer robot. So be very careful when ordering such a storage cabinet for your home as the both the bad and good guys might be on the lookout for you. The AllSpark is supposed to be an audio/video cabinet that would hide all the gadgets that currently help out with your home entertainment needs. The AllSpark is best suited for your AV equipment although it would most definitely store other stuff as well. The AllSpark includes an infrared receiver that would let all your remotes control the gadgets inside. But again, make sure no Transformers are in sight when setting up this AllSpark cabinet.

Your passion for movies and books will be united by this particular room design. The TV screen you see in the first picture is actually a projection screen that will show you all your favorite movies. Behind it there's a special room that hides a bookshelf filled with your favorite books and a projector needed to offer you all that movie rear-projecting you want. In order to create such a home theater setup you'd need a pretty big room to accommodate that dividing projection wall and all the other elements needed for this home entertainment setup to work. Not to mention all the neat seating solutions required by both the multimedia section of the room and by the reading area. Via Minhembio
