- Denon AVR-1909
- Setting up an AV receiver isn't for the faint of heart. Stripping speaker wire, multitudes of cables, inputs and outputs, confusing configuration--even the most grizzled AV nerd is likely to make at least one mistake during a setup. And even after you get it set up, it can be a...

- Onkyo SKS-HT870
- Onkyo is known for having speaker expertise, even though it's not primarily a speaker company. That's because of Onkyo's success selling home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs, which combine a speaker system and an AV receiver in a single box, taking some of the confusion out of putting together your own system. The...

- Samsung BD-P4600
- Samsung likes to say its "Touch of Color" design scheme elevates products to become a "work of art," but really it comes down to three main principles: rounded corners, translucent red highlights, and a glossy black finish. The Samsung BD-P4600 is the epitome of that design philosophy. It looks like...

- Samsung BD-P3600 Blu-ray player
- In almost every standalone Blu-ray player we review, you're likely to find a comment about its disc-loading speed and how it inevitably doesn't compare with the Sony PlayStation 3. For once, that's not the case, as the Samsung BD-P3600 is flat-out faster than the PS3 at loading most movies and...

- Klipsch HD Theater 500
- Few speaker manufacturers know as much about true movie theater sound as Klipsch. The Indianapolis-based company starting making speakers for movie theaters decades before the words "home" and "theater" were ever uttered together in the same sentence. But for better or worse, the company's home products had a reputation for...

- 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...

- LG BH200
- When LG introduced the first HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player at CES 2007, it was a groundbreaking moment in consumer electronics. Nobody expected a combo player to be released so soon, and at the time it seemed that maybe it was a way to avoid a long, protracted format war. Fast-forward...

- Denon AVR-3808CI
- This has been a landmark year for AV receivers. Traditionally receivers have just been the muscle of a home theater, but now there's no denying that they're the brain, as well, as they contain more functionality than nearly any other piece of home-theater equipment. The Denon AVR-3808CI is the epitome...

- Acoustic Research WHT6024
- The Acoustic Research WHT6024 is the latest in a barrage of attempts at a wireless surround speaker system. Keeping in line with others we've tested, the wireless solution bundled with the WHT6024 is simply not wireless--in fact, there are more wires used in this $800 system than most wireless solutions...

- HD Radio technology has been around for years, but finding products that support it remains something of a challenge--even as an overwhelming majority of home and car audio products offer plug-and-play support for Sirius or especially XM satellite radios.

- XM Mini-Tuner
- One of the biggest drawbacks of satellite radio is that your subscription is tied to a single device. If you want to listen to programming in more than one location--say, your car and your bedroom--you've got to choose between some unappealing options. Transportable radios involve a tangle of cables and...
