Gateway KAS-303 Home Theater Review

By Ian Bell July 19, 2004

Quote from our review:

“Gateway’s combination of a proven speaker set that we’ve already rated as an editor’s choice, a quality digital receiver and a choice of DVD player makes the KAS-303 an excellent option for a home-theater setup. The small speakers are easy to place (providing you have a location for center rear) and the small receiver should fit just about anywhere, making this ideal for apartments, dorm rooms, and home-theaters.

By pairing HSU-Research’s Ventriloquist technology with Sherwood’s TruDigital, Gateway has come up with a solid performer at a very reasonable price. Music lovers and movie buffs alike will appreciate the ease of use, versatility and quality sound.

With connections for any analog or digital source, the KAS-303 makes an excellent addition to a home-theater or a great centerpiece for a new setup.”

What is Paramount Plus? Price, plans, and what you can watch

With the huge range of streaming services now available, it's easy to lose track of which service has the content you want to watch. And that's made more confusing by the habit companies have of renaming and rebranding their services every few years.

Like Paramount Plus, which used to be CBS All Access but then added content from Showtime as well -- which included shows like Dexter, Yellowjackets, and Billions. The service is from the parent company ViacomCBS, and it's no longer a U.S.-only exclusive. Now the service is available internationally, in places like Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Europe as well as the U.S. And while there is plenty of new content coming to Paramount Plus regularly, you could be forgiven for wondering what this streaming service is and whether you need it.
