Kenwood HTB-506

 

The Kenwood HTB-506 provides one with an easy to setup and simple to use home-theater-in-a-box system. It has some shortcomings here and there which was especially noticeable only in music applications, but it is quite satisfying in home theater...

Great for home theater applications

Slight trace of boxiness in the overall system sound

I bought this system one year back. This is the most features packed 6.1 HTIB of its price range and the sound quality is awesome. On the negative side, the remote is a pain to use and competing models have nicer looking receiver and spekers.

Product Specifications

The HTB-506 is totally packed with the latest features and technologies, delivering remarkable home theater performance and value in a package that's simple to set up and use. The powerful receiver (100 Watts x 6 channels) is the system's command center, and features Dolby Digital EX 6.1-channel surround sound that uses a third surround channel and speaker (included) to make surround effects more realistic than ever. The included Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoders provide superb surround sound on standard 5.1-channel soundtracks. The HTB-506 is also perfect for reproducing your music. Active EQ by DSP tailors the receiver's electronics to precisely match the system's speakers, so your music (as well as a movie's dialogue and sound effects) is faithfully reproduced. All six of the system's speakers are 2-way configuration, and the left, right and center speakers feature dual 4" woofers and a Super Dome tweeter with 50kHz response that brings the most out of DVD-Audio discs. The powered subwoofer features a built-in 150-watt amplifier and 8" driver in a ported enclosure, pumping-out thunderous bass. The included Universal Pre-programmed Remote controls the receiver, your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite tuner, and select audio components.
