- Vizio VSB210WS Sound Bar
- Vizio bills itself as "America's HDTV Company," but the company has begun dipping its toe into the home audio side of the electronics pool with the VSB210WS. Billed as a "High Definition Sound Bar," the $349 package is comprised of a sleek-looking single speaker paired with a full-size 2.4GHz wireless...

- Sharp LC-52D92U
- When we reviewed the LC-46D62U, we were surprised by a couple of its picture-quality characteristics. It managed to display a deeper shade of black--an important ingredient in HDTV performance--than any other display we'd tested yet. Unfortunately, its screen was pretty uneven from one area to the next. The new model,...

- JBL On Stage 400P speaker dock
- Though they are portable devices, the iPod and the iPhone can make wonderful sources for headphone-free music when connected to speakers. Of course, wading through the glut of iPod-ready tabletop speakers on the market today takes patience and know-how, especially if you have an iPhone, which requires a unit with...

- Miccus BluBridge Mobile Speaker
- A portable Bluetooth speaker can be a magical thing. These wireless, battery-powered boom boxes can stream music from your computer or mobile phone, and many of them will even act as speakerphones for taking calls. The BluBridge mobile speaker ($129) from Miccus can perform all of these feats of wireless...

- iDesign Power Speaker Stereo Dock for iPod
- Inexpensive iPod speaker systems are a dime a dozen, but every now and then we come across a product that stands out from the herd. The Brookstone iDesign Power speaker doesn't have the catchiest name or some dynamite feature, but it's easy on the eyes and ears, and a great...

- Mirage Nanosat 5.1
- It's safe to say that the Mirage Nanosat 5.1 Home Theater sounds unlike any box-type satellite/subwoofer combination system on the market. While conventional box speakers project sound forward, the Nanosat speakers are designed to produce a ratio of 30 percent direct and 70 percent reflected sound. The direct sound heads...

- Mirage MX 5.1
- Just when we thought satellite/subwoofer systems couldn't get any smaller, along comes the ultracompact Mirage MX 5.1 retailing for $1,200. (Mirage calls it a "Home Theater System," but it's really just a surround speaker package that requires a separate AV receiver/amplifier.) Just how small is it? Each MX satellite speaker...

- Energy Take Classic
- Judging from our past encounters with speaker manufacturer Energy, it's no secret that we think the company makes terrific small speakers. We recently raved about the amazingly tiny RC-Micro 5.1 System ($1,000) and mentioned how it actually reminded us of the original Energy Take 5 satellite/subwoofer system we reviewed in...

- Denon DHT-FS5
- Denon's DHT-FS5 is an unusually compact single speaker surround system with an unusually compact list price--just $500. That means it sells for less than half the asking price of its big brother, Denon's up market DHT-FS3. Even so, the two units have a lot in common: they're almost the...

- Marantz ES7001 SSX Front Surround Speaker System
- As one of America's oldest audio brands, it was inevitable Marantz would offer a single-speaker surround system. Every few months another manufacturer unveils a new one, and now it's Marantz's turn. With the ES7001 SSX Front Surround Speaker System, Marantz built a model that competes in the upper end of...

- Energy RC-Micro 5.1
- Energy is big on small speakers, and it always has been. That's what we were thinking as we set up the RC-Micro 5.1 ($1,000)--it took us back to when we reviewed the original Energy Take 5 satellite/subwoofer system in 1997. That model took us by surprise precisely because Energy's engineers...

- JBL On Time 400iHD Speaker Dock for iPod
- iPod speakers are a dime-a-dozen. There are big ones and small ones; black ones and red ones; some with alarm clocks, and many with built-in docks. As one might expect, you don't have to look hard to find models with integrated FM--and even AM--radios, but if you must have cutting-edge...

- Samsung HT-X710T
- We recently looked at the HT-TZ512T from Samsung, a solid home theater-in-a-box that focuses on DVD playback and offers wireless rear surround sound. The TZ512 also offers a few additional audio inputs as well as compatibility with various digital file formats. The HT-X710T, reviewed here, keeps most of...

- Polk PSW111 Compact Powered Subwoofer - Black
- The Polk Audio PSW111 isn't just a very good compact subwoofer, it's a excellent match with the brand's RM and SurroundBar speaker systems. Not that the PSW111 wouldn't jell with other Polk speakers, or those of any other manufacturer, for that matter, but its prime directive is to fill in...

- Sony HT-CT100
- It's a familiar story in consumer electronics: start with a luxurious, expensive, and exclusive product category, and within just a few years, you'll see a sea of imitators delivering the same basic item with more features, less money, and--ideally--better performance. Take single-speaker audio. Once the exclusive domain of Yamaha Digital...

The company's latest offering, the JBL On Stage 200iD iPod speaker, features solid sound quality and a funky, futuristic design with a relatively small footprint. JBL succeeds in improving...

- The iLuv i199 iPod audio system impressed us with its seemingly endless array of features crammed into a tight package at an affordable price. Enter the iLuv i399: it's larger and more expensive than the older i199, and delivers a more thumping bass line, thanks to its built-in...

- Klipsch RoomGroove (iPod speaker system)
- At first glance, Klipsch's RoomGroove iPod speaker looks like just another iPod speaker. Sure, its clean lines and black cloth grille are a step up from the typical plastic boxes, but what makes the RoomGroove a bit more interesting is that you can link one RoomGroove to additional units in...

- As of early 2008, Klipsch offers two single-chassis iPod speaker systems: the RoomGroove, which offers compatibility with the company's wireless "KlipschCast" feature, and the iGroove SXT, its no-frills entry-level model. That said, the relatively affordable iGroove SXT doesn't look or feel cut-rate. As soon as we put our iPod...
