Reviews

Panasonic SC-BT207W

This is a well-featured system that will produce great looking Blu-ray and DVD images. Sound quality's generally pretty good, just don’t push it too far.
Samsung HT-BD1255

Despite the rather plastic look and feel, this Samsung system offers plenty for the money and its audio and visual performance are both rather good for a HTIB system.
Onkyo TX-NR906

It's not often that we fall in love with a piece of equipment, but the Onkyo TX-NR906 receiver is the answer to our technological prayers.
Samsung BD-P1400

The Samsung BD-P1400 has a lot to offer for the price in HD audio-video performance and is highly recommended — especially if you don't care for interactive features.
Apple MacBook (White, 2.16GHz)

The latest MacBook looks identical to the old model but benefits from faster components. As a result, it's even better value for money.
Onkyo TX-SR605

The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price
Apple iPhone

Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.
Samsung HT-TXQ120T

The Samsung HT-TXQ120 is a rock solid audio system that rivals component-level kits in sound quality. This, however, is not the case for the video department with its just above-average visuals.
