Marantz NR1602 review
Marantz has brought some much-needed flair to the humble AV receiver with the slim-line NR1602. Network-savvy and offering siren-sweet sound, this beauty doesn't miss a beat. Read more

Sony VPL-VW90ES review
Sony's first 3D projector is a high-end treat. The SXRD light engine is as sharp as a sushi knife, and we didn't spot any picture-spoiling 3D crosstalk effects. If you really want to watch 3D movies at home, you need to buy one of these. Read more

Onkyo TX-NR5007 review
The 9.2-channel TX-NR5007 is our favourite AV receiver so far. It's immensely powerful, so it's ideally suited to people with a dedicated -- and large -- home-cinema room. If you have a smaller room, it will still prove wonderful, but you won't be able to turn the volume up high without demolishing your walls 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

Onkyo HTX-22HDX review
The Onkyo HTX-22HDX home-cinema system is ideal for anyone who has a smaller house, but still wants to take advantage of 5.1 surround sound. We recommend you get the 5.1 package -- it's well worth the extra outlay. Read more

Samsung HT-X30 review
A bargain price tag doesn't have to mean you compromise on features. The Samsung HT-X30 5.1 home cinema system proves this point well with its small but powerful speakers and good codec support. This system won't overwhelm your lounge with wires and it's a handsome beast too Read more

Yamaha RX-V471 review
The Yamaha RX-V471 is a well-appointed, highly musical AV receiver that punches above its budget price tag. It's well built, sounds great, and even throws in USB playback. After a couple of years out of sync, Yamaha is back in the groove. Read more

Philips HTS9800W review
The Philips HTS9800W offers HDMI connectivity with integrated video upscaling, advanced surround processing, multi-channel music compatibility and a 6.1-speaker system with wireless rear channels. It's a large system but it's unobtrusive and you won't find better, all-in-one performance for the price Read more

Sony HTP-BD3IS review
We chortled as we prised the HTP-BD3IS from its box, titillated by the ridiculously tiny speakers of this 5.1-channel, Blu-ray home-cinema system. But the smirks were soon wiped off our faces by its physics-defying audio and outstanding picture quality. The HTP-BD3IS succeeds in offering both style and substance Read more
