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

Samsung HT-BD8200

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

Samsung BD-P3600

The fantastic BD-P3600 is the fastest-loading Blu-ray player we've seen so far. It's also easy on the eye, with a sleek, curved design and excellent image quality. Its media-playback capability is a slight letdown, but the BD-P3600 would be a worthwhile addition to your home cinema

Samsung BD-P4600

The BD-P4600 is the fastest-loading stand-alone Blu-ray player we've come across yet. Combined with a sleek appearance, and good picture and audio quality, it all adds up to a great machine. We just wish it were slightly cheaper, although we expect the price to fall steeply over the coming months

Samsung HT-X710T

The Samsung HT-X710T is a solid home theatre-in-a-box that focuses on DVD playback while offering excellent sound. It has a 2.1-channel system -- meaning two speakers, one subwoofer and a 'head unit' amplifier and disc player. If you don't mind the offbeat styling and the dearth of video inputs, this is a worthwhile choice

Samsung HT-X30

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
