Sony HTIS100

An 'invisible' home theatre system

Tiny, great treble reproduction, plenty of inputs

Poor bass and mid-range

As a surround system the HTIS100 works well — positional audio sounds great. Treble is an equally strong point, but the system is let down by bloated, muddy sounding mid-range and bass from the subwoofer.

Sony HT-IS100 review

Meet the mini drivers

Tiny satellite speakers ; Excellent connectivity ; Good general performance

Doesn't decode lossless audio formats

If you are looking for an audiophile grade speaker system then this is not it, but if you're in the market for a simple and solid surround sound system that's small then this could be for you

Sony HT-IS100 review

Sony has produced a home cinema speaker system that gives genuine surround sound to the speaker-phobic

‘Proper’ surround sound from unfeasibly small satellites ; tremendously simple to setup and use ; taut, chunky bass

Subwoofer requires careful positioning ; won’t decode HD audio ; mid-range lacks a bit of body

This is genuine surround sound for the speaker-phobic – give it a try, you might just be surprised

iF YOU ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT A SYSTEM STOP LOOKING THIS IS IT. NO MORE BIG BULKY SPEAKERS, THE SPEAKERS ARE SMALL BUT VERY POWERFULL. I LOOKED AROUND FOR MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM AND IT WAS WORT EVERY PENNY.

SMALL SPEAKERS AND NO DVD PLAYER

NONE
