I tried a high-end Kaleidescape movie player – its audio output blew me away


Achieving an authentic, cinema-like experience at home is a desire shared by many of us. Whether you have the space and budget for a dedicated movie screening room, or instead need to settle for one of the best TVs paired with one of the best soundbars in your living area, it’s always nice to be able to sit back, relax and experience excellent picture and sound quality from the comfort of your own home.

This feeling is front and center at TechRadar right now as it’s our Home Theater Week 2025. We’re publishing a series of features, reviews and other home theater-related topics, coinciding with the annual CEDIA Expo, which kicked off on Thursday, September 4.

The first article to go live was my Kaleidescape Strato E review. This deep-dive will let you in on my full thoughts about the high-end movie player (the quick of it is, it’s fantastic), but I wanted to highlight the exact moment I knew just how special a product the Strato E – and, by and large, the wider Kaleidescape product lineup – was. It has nothing to do with picture quality (although that’s mind-blowing), but it’s all about the sound.
