The Consumer Electronics Association announced the winners of the Mark of Excellence Awards at the Spring 2008 Electronic House Expo in Orlando, FL this past week. The winners in each product category are selected by a four member panel of systems integrators, manufacturers, members of the trade press and industry consultants. The awards cover many product categories so I've selected a few I think are of most interest to About Stereos readers, with links to product information:

• Best Freestanding Speaker: Kef MUON Speaker
• Best In-wall/In-ceiling Speakers: Sunfire CRW-3
• Best Distributed Audio/Video Product: Netstreams DigiLinX AV Control System
• Best Subwoofer: Velodyne MicroVee
