Sony RHT-G800 review
All-in-one speaker systems produce a virtual surround effect -- a decent solution for those not prepared to turn their front room into a gigantic ball of wire. Sony has taken an interesting approach by building its virtual surround-sound speakers into a TV stand Read more

Onkyo TX-NR609 review
The Onkyo TX-NR609 is an exciting, well-connected, 3D-compatible AV receiver that bristles with features, including Internet radio and support for Spotify Premium. It's something of a belter. Read more

JVC DD-3 Sophisti review
A stylish home-cinema unit that employs virtual-surround sound, the JVC DD-3 Sophisti forgoes the need for rear speakers -- and the wires that go with them. With an upscaling HDMI DVD player, this is ideal for anyone looking for an unobtrusive way to boost their movie audio Read more

Asus O!Play HD2 review
The Asus O!Play HD2 looks just like its name suggests -- a right mess. Aesthetics aside, this is a serious media streamer for enthusiasts, and it does its job extremely well. Read more

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

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

Vivitek H1085 review
For a projector that only costs around £990, the Vivitek H1085 makes fewer compromises than you might expect. Its blacks are deep, its colours are bold, and its high-definition images are startlingly sharp. If you want a cheap projector in time for the World Cup, check it out Read more

Samsung HT-D6750W review
Samsung has loaded up its HT-D6750W home-cinema kit with everything bar the kitchen sink. If you want a 3D Blu-ray player, Web connectivity and a sound system that hasn't been beaten with the ugly stick, you should definitely take a closer look. Read more

D-Link Boxee Box review
The D-Link Boxee Box media streamer has major networking problems and, although we've been promised a solution in new firmware, we can't comment on this until the company releases the update. Read more

Xtreamer iXtreamer review
The Xtreamer iXtreamer isn't the most stylish media streamer we've ever seen, but the integrated iPod, iPhone and iPad dock is pretty cool. We also found the device easy to use, and had no major concerns about video quality. Read more
