The HW-C450 soundbar is a good option for anyone who wants to replace their TV's shoddy built-in speakers, without investing in a full-blown surround-sound system.

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
