- 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...

- Yamaha YHT-791BL
- Photo gallery:Yamaha YHT-791BLGreat-sounding home theater is becoming increasingly rare, as consumers move toward space-saving solutions like soundbars and tiny home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs. If you still care about sound, have a budget around $1,000, and want the convenience of an all-in-one package, the choice largely comes down to two systems--the Onkyo...

We received the Yamaha YHT-791 home theater for review and were impressed with the included HTR-6250BL AV receiver compared to other home-theater-in-a-box systems,...

- 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...

- Photo gallery:Yamaha RX-V665BLWe've been critical of some Yamaha receivers in the past for not offering as many features as the competition, but we've always been impressed by their sound quality. That's why when we previewed the Yamaha RX-V665BL, we were a little worried that the weight was substantially lower than...

- 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...

When Panasonic released the first Profile 2.0 player, Samsung was still shipping Profile 1.1 players, with promises that future upgrades would make...

- 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...

- Editors' note: The Denon AVR-789 is nearly identical to the AVR-1909, therefore the reviews are very similar. The AVR-789 lacks the smaller remote for second zone usage and a wired RF input, but is otherwise functionally identical. Setting up an audiovisual receiver isn't for the faint of heart. Stripping...

- 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...

- 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...
