FORTUNE -- Lowell Miller isn't your standard slick Wall Street mogul. A sandal-wearing self-described "reformed hippie" who once wrote poems for Rolling Stone, the 64-year-old runs a thriving $4 billion investment business in, of all places, the bohemian hamlet of Woodstock, N.Y. Asked the obvious question -- "Were you there in '69?" -- he confesses that he missed the legendary concert because of heavy traffic.
With the right picks investors can stretch their returns even further. Contrary to conventional wisdom, research shows that companies that pay large dividends actually tend to produce better profit growth than those that reinvest all their earnings. "Paying dividends forces companies to choose the most profitable investments with the limited earnings they retain," says Robert Shearer, who oversees BlackRock's $24 billion Equity Dividend fund (MDDVX).

When a product is designed in such a way to evoke its purpose, you are left wanting to use it, and Joey Roth has created a set of porcelian speakers with a new matching subwoofer that beg to be used. The organic flow to the ceramic speaker enclosures almost demonstrate the movement of sound waves. And the tubular white sub continues in that tradition, providing the extended bass for a fuller sound.
The Subwoofer Design (prototype pictured above): Two 61/2" speakers are mounted in a porcelain tube providing bass extension down to 40 hz. One speaker receives power, while the other speaker acts as a passive radiator. As the active or powered speaker moves the passive speaker reacts correspondingly and furthers the bass extension. Providing efficient power, the Class D amp also doubles as a resting place for the soft white sub. A crossover in the subwoofer's amplifier allows users to adjust where the speakers stop extending, and where the sub kicks in. An absolute phase switch also provides another tool to get the sound right in your room.
Listening: Both Managing Editor Gregory Han and I were treated to a complete product description, setup, and listening demo with Joey Roth himself at Gregory's living room in Los Angeles. What better place to get an idea of what an audio system sounds like than in a real world environment?
The subwoofer amplifier also cradles the tubular sub. Rubber pads keep the ceramic subwoofer in place.
