CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Samsung HT-X710 is a great-sounding 2.1 DVD system, but the funky design and dearth of inputs may put off some buyers. That said, while it doesn't offer surround sound -- or even a solid surround-sound emulation -- we were impressed with the sonic experience it was able to produce
