- Blaupunkt Velocity 2Go 6
- As a powered subwoofer for your car, the Blaupunkt Velocity 2Go 6 installs easily and delivers a reasonably powerful bass thump. But this sub gives you more bang for your buck in that it works as a semiportable speaker system for an iPod or other MP3 player. In the latter...

- 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...

- PSB Alpha Studio Theater System (2006)
- Canada's PSB Speakers offers a wide range of models, but it's the entry-level, hugely popular Alpha series that consistently makes the biggest splash with budget-minded audiophiles. The original Alpha series was introduced in 1991 and has been upgraded a couple of times over the years (most recently in 2002), but...

- JVC TH-C30
- A lot of people these days are looking for space-saving home-theater-in-a-box HTIB systems that don't cost a lot but don't skimp on features or performance either. Over the years, small, inexpensive HTIBs have certainly improved, but it's still hard to find models that offer truly respectable home-theater performance. Enter...

- Klipsch Quintet III
- The Klipsch Synergy Series Quintet III Microsystem is the aptly named successor to the Quintet II system, the company's best-selling surround-sound speaker package of all time.

- Klipsch Synergy Sub-12
- When it comes to subwoofers, size still matters. While smaller 6- or 8-inch subs can produce credible bass, once you experience what a well-designed 12-inch model can deliver, you won't want to settle for less. Most big subs come with hefty price tags, but Klipsch's mighty Synergy Sub-12 retails for...

- Klipsch Reference Series RT Subwoofers
- Klipsch cites NPD figures ranking the company as "the No. 1 brand ranking position in the subwoofer category." We're not quite sure what that means, but we can vouch for the fact that the company has produced some great subs in the past. Not content to cruise on its...

- Samsung HT-X810T
- If the primary appeal of soundbar speakers is based on their significant reduction of wires and clutter--as compared with 5.1-channel home theater-in-a-box systems--then Samsung's new HT-X810T soundbar should be a winner. While it's not the first single-speaker system with a built-in DVD player or a wireless subwoofer--that'd be the Philips...

- Bose makes a few different computer speaker packages, the least expensive of which is the Companion 2 Series II at $100. The package includes two compact speakers measuring 7.5 by 3.2 by 5.8 inches; both are angled slightly upward so the sound is aimed toward your head when you're sitting...

The small wagon mostly gave way to the more sporty hatchbacks in the 1990s, but Volkswagen seems confident in the body style, launching the wagon version of its...

- 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...

- M-Audio Studiophile AV 40
- Not to sound condescending, but M-Audio's Studiophile AV 40 Desktop Speaker System makes most PC and multimedia speakers seem rather puny by comparison. It's not just their size (the M-Audio speakers resemble desktop studio monitors); if you listen to a lot of CDs, watch DVDs, or play games on your...

In the middle is the $400 SC-PT760; it loses the satellite radio compatibility, but retains...

For the 2007 line, the company retained its generally sexy design schemes and...
