Philips HTS6100

The Philips HTS6100 is a sound-bar system with the added attraction of decent low frequency response from a dedicated subwoofer. It performs well in t...

Stylish, simple to set up, Ambisound surround effect is great

Not as streamlined as a regular sound-bar, surround sound still doesn't stand up to real 5.1

Philips' newest sound-bar works well as an unobtrusive addition to your home theatre, fitting in well with the most recent LCD and plasma panels. The addition of a subwoofer means it isn't as streamlined as other sound-bars, but it does provide a...

Philips HTS6100 Soundbar Home Cinema System

For top-notch virtual surround sound and DVD playback quality, check out this stylish Philips soundbar.

A word of advice – don’t approach the HTS6100, or any of its soundbar stablemates, thinking you’re going to get the same 5.1-channel performance as a proper six-speaker setup, because you’re not. The HTS6100 is a different animal altogether, but if you...

Philips Soundbar DVD Home Theatre HTS6100/75

If you live in a flat and don't have space for a 5.1 speaker system in your living room, then perhaps its time to take a look at what Philips has to offer. The Philips HTS6100 is a soundbar home theatre system that only takes up a small space and can...

Slick soundbar; Easy to install; Can fit in small rooms; Good upscaling; ‘Surround sound’ with extra speakers; USB port for music, video, and photo playback

Cannot replace 5.1-channel speakers as it does not give you a full surround sound experience
