Pioneer DCS-360 review
Compared to other systems available for around £300, Pioneer's DCS-360 is an outstanding example. You get a more generous speaker package featuring floor-standing speakers and it's one of the few budget systems that can claim HDMI connectivity, which allows you to play near high-definition quality 720p or 1080i pictures Read more

Philips HTS8000S review
Every part of the HTS8000S system has been placed on a strict diet by Philips -- the subwoofer can be hung on the wall, the DVD player is a unique vertical design and the speakers could easily be tucked away on a bookshelf. Judged as a limited 2.1 system, it performs well and provides excellent video quality Read more
