SC-ZT2

Easy to set up, good sound from speakers at low and moderate volume levels

Requires three power points, expensive for a stereo system, mediocre surround effect, poor low-end response at higher volume levels

Panasonic's SC-ZT2 is an interesting home theatre system. It's a stereo setup that mimics surround sound, and its thin speakers put out a surprising amount of audio. It is painfully expensive though, so it appeals more on style than value for money.
