Bowers & Wilkins Panorama
Despite a couple of flaws, the B&W Panorama is one of the best soundbars we've ever heard. It's time to save your pocket money.
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.

Harman Kardon AVR 355
Tailored towards the casual listener rather than Harman Kardon's usual hi-fi customers, the AVR 355 is solid, with great features, but somehow lacking.
-
Yamaha YSP-3000
If you can look past its limited video capabilities, the Yamaha YSP-3000 is an otherwise recommendable single-speaker solution for home theater buyers who don't want a traditional 5.1 channel surround system.
-
Sony DAV-F500
If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.
-
B&W VM6
The B&W VM6 are surprisingly capable loudspeakers but the compact dimensions stunt their performance.
-
Samsung HT-X30T
It's not the loudest system around, but people will love the Samsung HT-X30's warm sound and great picture quality. Extra features such as a USB port, DivX playback and DVD-Audio support only add to its charm.
-
Onkyo LS-V501
The Onkyo LS-V501 is a 2.1 home theatre in a box which will upscale your DVDs to 1080i and supports a plethora of audio and video formats.
-
Sony BDPS500B
The Sony BDPS500B is an excellent sonic performer and will upscale your DVD collection — but it's outshone by cheaper players for Blu-ray playback.
-
Yamaha YSP-1100
Although it's expensive, we really liked the Yamaha YSP-1100's excellent sound, which makes movies much more involving.
