- Verve IV
- Benicia, California-based Now Hear This NHT has a long history of building affordable high-performance speakers. In recent years, the company successfully moved upmarket with a remarkably innovative series of products, including the Xd integrated electronics and speaker system, and a high-end surround processor and power amplifier. But with the introduction...

- 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...

- Apple In-Ear headphones
- Photo gallery:Apple In-Ear headphonesIf you've outgrown the fashion appeal of Apple's stock earbuds and you're ready to step up to a proper pair of headphones, Apple's $79 In-Ear headphones are a killer upgrade. They're not going to make everyone happy, however, as some of the features included with the headphones...

- Polk Audio RM95
- Polk Audio engineers and designers are hip to the fact that everybody wants the smallest possible speakers. Big displays and small speakers are where it's at, and Polk's RM95 home theater five pack comes with four tiny satellites and a very compact center speaker for $600. You add your choice...

- Sony Bravia DAV-X10 2.1 Channel Audio System
- The home-theater-in-a-box HTIB market is about as commoditized a category as you'll find when shopping for consumer electronics, but Sony's stayed in the game by offering a line of all-in-ones at a wide array of price points. For the 2007 line, the company retained its generally sexy design schemes and...

- 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
- Photo gallery:2008 Toyota Highlander HybridThe 2008 model year update to the Toyota Highlander Hybrid took the unoriginal path, reflected by model updates across the industry, of making everything bigger. The new Highlander is higher and wider, giving more space inside but also increasing the weight, a counterintuitive design move with...

- Harman Kardon HS 300
- In 2006, we gave the Harman Kardon HS 100 HTIB home theater in a box a good review, but there was definitely room for improvement--especially considering that it originally sold for $900. For this 2007 update, the HS 300, Harman bumped the price a notch, added HDMI and USB connectivity,...

- Cerwin-Vega CVHD 5.1
- In the 1970s, Cerwin-Vega was a big name in the speaker business, but it fell off the radar a while back. It never really went away but instead focused on building speakers for car audio, clubs, and movie theaters. The company's biggest coup in the latter venue was its development...

- Sony DAV-HDX500
- Sony's 2007 Bravia home theater in a box HTIB systems represent something of a departure from the company's popular Dream systems. The new line isn't quite as sleek--the Bravia DAV-HDX500's AV receiver/DVD changer has a bigger footprint and is a tad more generic-looking than the Dream's, and the speakers aren't...

- JBL On Air Control 2.4G
- The picture on the box that contains the JBL On Air Control 2.4G displays two speakers, a small transmitter, and a little remote, but omits the tangle of wires required to get any sound out of the system. It is, after all, a wireless speaker system--so we understand the motivation...

- 2007 Saturn Aura
- Photo gallery:2007 Saturn Aura The 2007 Saturn Aura really wants to be a European sport/luxury sedan, but its attempts fall short. It has a fairly beefy high-tech engine and paddle shifters for its six-speed automatic, which make up the sport part of the equation. However, its unruly...

- Onkyo SKS-HT740
- Onkyo's home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs are exactly that: The company takes a receiver, a DVD player, and a surround speaker system, tosses them in a big box, then sells it at an attractive discounted price. But for those who don't need the complete package, the individual components are available a la...

- Philips MCD515
- When most consumer electronics news is devoted to iPods and HDTVs, sometimes it's easy to forget that technology like A/V minisystems even exist. That's too bad, because even though it's old technology, sometimes it's just the right component for a bedroom or den. Take the Philips MCD515: It isn't the...

- Yamaha YHT-670
- The YHT-670, one of Yamaha's top home-theater-in-a-box HTIB systems, is a markedly different sort than Panasonic and Sony's best HTIB models. Those come decked out with skinny tower speakers, stylish subwoofers, and trendily slim combo A/V receiver/DVD changers. The YHT-670 ($650) instead features a full-size A/V receiver and a separate...

- Cambridge SoundWorks Newton Series P300HD Powered Subwoofer
- Cambridge SoundWorks' Newton Series HD Loudspeaker line was designed to not only visually complement flat-screen HDTVs, the sound is said to be as high-definition as the picture. The subject of this review, the P300HD powered subwoofer ($1,000), is the ideal mate for the company's HD MC600HD speaker ($500 each). As...

- Paradigm is a midsize Canadian company with an affinity for producing superb small speakers. Case in point: the brand's top-of-the-line Cinema 110 CT system. The six-piece package is designed to look great whether straddling the wall next to a flat-screen TV or sitting on stands next to a bulky, old-school...

- Pioneer S-A4SPT-PM
- Big Japanese electronics companies like Sony, Panasonic, and JVC produce a wide range of products that never make it to our shores. Often, these products are deemed too expensive or just too exotic for the American market. That's why we were surprised to see Pioneer sell its whiskey-barrel speakers on...

- Onkyo SKS-HT540
- Onkyo is one of very few manufacturers of home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs confident enough to sell its speakers separately. The eight-piece speaker package we're reviewing here is included with the $500 Onkyo HT-S790 HTIB, but if you already have an A/V receiver, Onkyo sells the speakers separately as the SKS-HT540. Available...

- The Panasonic SC-HT640W boasts a singular "gotta have" feature unequalled by most home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs selling for a lot more than the Panasonic's $300 list price: wireless surround speakers. Or to be more precise, its wireless surround speaker--the two rear surround channels emanate from a single wedge-shaped box that you...
