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

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

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

Samsung HT-BD1252 review
The 5.1-channel HT-BD1252 Blu-ray home-cinema kit offers excellent value for money. Its tall speakers feel rather plasticky and their sound quality isn't the best we've ever heard, but the whole package looks slick and its video quality is excellent. The iPod dock is a welcome bonus too Read more

Samsung HT-BD8200 review
One of the most compact Blu-ray player and speaker systems we've encountered, the HT-BD8200 is an excellent choice for those beginning to dip their toes into the home-cinema water. Although it could do with more inputs for other equipment, its sound and picture quality are great Read more

Sony BDV-E370 review
The Sony BDV-E370 is not a bad piece of kit if you can get it for closer to £300 than £500. 3D is a great bonus and we did like most of the features of this home cinema system. Sound wasn't perfect but, for smaller rooms, it's pretty reasonable. Read more

Samsung HT-BD1250R review
The 5.1-channel HT-BD1250R is an excellent option for those seeking a low-cost home-cinema system with a built-in Blu-ray player. Its audio performance is admirable for the price, and its picture quality is even better, while a number of appealing extras, such as an iPod dock, only sweeten the deal 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

Yamaha YSP-2200 review
The Yamaha YSP-2200 is one of the slimmest soundbars yet. It's an ingenious all-in-one home-cinema system for those without the space for separates or multiple speakers. While the subwoofer is rather unrefined, the YSP-2200's sonic clarity and surround-sound steering is excellent. Read more
