Abstract: An audio visual system is provided comprising a housing, a video display, at least one speaker support coupled to at least one of the display and the housing, and at least one speaker mounted to and supported by the speaker support, the housing and the at least one speaker each having a front wall, the display and the at least one speaker support being movable from a first state, where the display and the at least one speaker, which is in a first position, are in the housing and hidden from view when viewing the front wall of the housing, to a second state, where the display and the at least one speaker are spaced from the housing and at least partially unobstructed thereby with the at least one speaker being in a second position differently spaced from the display than when in the first position. Among the many advantages of the invention is that the video display and speakers can be hidden from view when the system is not in use.

Abstract: An audio visual system includes a housing and at least one speaker that is movable so that the speaker can be spaced from the housing to provide the desired acoustics. The system can include a speaker box that is movable from a first state, where the front of the speaker is hidden from view, to a second state, where the speaker or speaker box is spaced from the housing and the front of the speaker or speaker box is unobstructed.
