How sweet the sound

You're sitting at the sports bar, faithfully watching your favorite team play, desperately wondering what's being said because someone decided your game wasn't worthy of having the volume on. Even though that might be a plus in some situations, there are other times you really do want to hear what those announcers have to say.

Well, now there's a way to hear your game without slipping a twenty to the smirking bartender. TableSound, a wireless audio system that can transmit up to four signals to speakers at individual tables, offers fans a way to control which game they hear. The system costs $755 for a four-speaker setup and $1,995 for 24 speakers, a small price to keep fans from fighting over the remote control. Now all we need is a way to choose the announcing teams.
