Yamaha RX-V663
The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.
-
Yamaha YSP-600
The Yamaha YSP-600 is a very good solution for people who want a simple system that sounds great, but look elsewhere for style or features.

Pro-Ject Debut III/Phono USB
The Pro-Ject Debut III/Phono USB turntable is a great turntable which simplifies archiving recordings on a PC — even if it still doesn't make it easy.
-
Panasonic PT-AX200
The Panasonic PT-AX200 is an easy to use, flexible projector that provides excellent resolution for both data and movies. However, this powerful unit is only a minor, if cheaper, upgrade of its predecessor and lacks full high definition.
-
Denon AVR-3808
The Denon AVR-3808 A/V receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an A/V geek to unlock all its potential.
-
Harman Kardon HS 300

Panasonic PT-AE1000

CES 2009 preview: Home entertainment
For the last few years, the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray has monopolised home entertainment coverage at CES. Now that HD DVD is dead, we can finally get back to focussing on new technology, rather than which studios are backing which format.
