Panasonic SC-PT870 review
It doesn't look like anyone at Panasonic HQ had much fun designing the SC-PT870 but it's a good 5.1-channel home-cinema system nevertheless. Music played via the USB socket isn't much cop, but the system performs admirably otherwise, delivering particularly impressive sound with movies Read more

LG HT33S review
The HT33S is a very likeable 2.1-channel home-cinema system. It's rather scratch- and fingerprint-prone, and music isn't its forte, but it handles DVDs with considerable skill, making film soundtracks a pleasure to listen to and offering impressive picture quality Read more

Pioneer LX01BD review
If you can afford it, the LX01BD Blu-ray player with surround-sound speaker system will prove well worth your cash. Disc load times are excruciatingly slow but it's a beautiful and cleverly designed package that offers fantastic picture and sound quality, with great audio-codec support Read more

LG HB354BS review
The HB354BS Blu-ray player with a 2.1-channel surround-sound system is an incredibly handy all-in-one system. iPod fans are particularly well placed to enjoy the system's impressive sonic performance, thanks to the built-in dock, and picture quality isn't bad either. It's ideal for people just starting to get Blu-ray fever Read more

Denon DHT-FS5 review
The DHT-FS5 single-speaker surround-sound system is tastefully designed and unusually compact. Music-playing duties are not its forte, but sound quality when watching films or TV is good. Overall, this sound bar is a decent improvement on any TV's built-in speakers Read more

Marantz ES7001 SSX review
Marantz, one of America's oldest audio brands, has put forth the ES7001 SSX Front Surround Speaker System, a new single-speaker product. On both DVDs and CDs, the relatively wire- and clutter-free ES7001 produced sound that was incredibly natural and full-bodied Read more

Philips HTS6515 review
Using Ambisound on the HTS6515 was Philips' way of creating an illusion of surround sound from just two speaker units. Well we've tested this piece and we can confirm that the depth of sound we got exceeded our expectations. In terms of picture quality, we'd go so far as to say it's some of the most impressive upscaling we've seen from an all-in-one unit like this Read more

Polk Audio RM95 review
Huge displays and teensy speakers are hot right now, and Polk Audio's RM95 five-piece home cinema package comes with four tiny satellites and a very compact centre speaker. Its unusual triangular design helps the RM95 project a spacious sound, but it can't rock out at higher volumes Read more

Samsung HT-X710T review
The Samsung HT-X710T is a solid home theatre-in-a-box that focuses on DVD playback while offering excellent sound. It has a 2.1-channel system -- meaning two speakers, one subwoofer and a 'head unit' amplifier and disc player. If you don't mind the offbeat styling and the dearth of video inputs, this is a worthwhile choice Read more

Samsung HT-X715 review
The Samsung HT-X715 gives you a good reason to stay home instead of going to the cinema. This 5.1 surround-sound system with built-in DVD player could be a great all-in-one complement to your nice television, handling movie soundtracks plus DVD and Blu-ray material skillfully Read more
