denon dht-fs3 review: While it's a bit lean on features, Denon's compact DHT-FS3 home theatre system delivers big, room-filling sound.

Elegant and compact, Two analog, three digital audio, Optional iPod dock, Dolby Headphone processing, Wall-mount included

Expensive, No video-switching, Needs tweaking for optimal sound

While it's a bit lean on features, Denon's compact DHT-FS3 home theatre system delivers big, room-filling sound.

samsung ht-x810 review: The Samsung HT-X810 is a 2.1 sound bar system that uses a wireless signal to connect to the subwoofer and Bluetooth devices.

Stylish, Easy to setup, Wall-mountable, 5.8GHz wireless, Good vision

Overwhelming amounts of bass, Speaker rattles at mid to high volumes, Bluetooth doesn't work that well

samsung ht-bd2 review: The Samsung HT-BD2 delivers the sort of top-notch video quality you'd expect from the world's first HTIB with built-in Blu-ray -- but its high price, average audio quality, and lack of extras make it tough to recommend.

7.1-channel Blu-ray home cinema, Built-in Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, Elegant styling, with four tallboy speakers, Full-size subwoofer, Upscales DVDs to 1080p

Expensive, Only Blu-ray Profile 1.0 compliant, Few jacks for connecting external sources, Slow disc loading, No auto speaker calibration

The Samsung HT-BD2 delivers the sort of top-notch video quality you'd expect from the world's first HTIB with built-in Blu-ray -- but its high price, average audio quality, and lack of extras make it tough to recommend.

marantz es7001 review: The Marantz ES7001 is a compact, virtual-surround system which boasts HDMI connectivity but is costlier than other solutions with more features.

logitech squeezebox duet review: With its excellent remote, multi-format compatibility and smooth performance, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is an easy recommendation.

Excellent remote with colour screen and scroll wheel control, Supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet home networks, Compatible with virtually all non-DRM audio file formats

Minor improvements could make the already good interface even better, No compatibility with DRM music files such as those purchased from iTunes, Setup process could frustrate those who aren't tech-savvy

With its excellent iPod-like remote, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is an ideal way to stream the full range of digital music to your living room stereo system.

beo5 review: Bang & Olufsen puts its unique design mark on a universal remote and (for a fee) does all the programming for you.

onkyo ls-v501 review: 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.

Sound quality, Styling, Ease of use and setup

Price is fractionally too high to attract very casual users

philips soundbar hts8100 review: The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is good value for money, and able to deliver powerful movie soundtracks and excellent video quality via the HDMI output.

Excellent HDMI video, Upscaling DVD playback, Good looks, Intelligible dialogue reproduction

Audio inputs inconveniently located, Ambisound mode makes soundtracks and music thin, Cables akimbo

The Philips SoundBar HTS8100 is good value for money, and able to deliver powerful movie soundtracks and excellent video quality via the HDMI output.

Ultra-compact yet surprisingly rich in features, this Sony HTIB is a dream come true if space is an issue.

Very cute, Surround sound is impressive, Small, easy to hide satellites ...

... Large, impossible-to-hide sub, DVD performance isn't up to par, Silver wiring stands out in any living space!, No HDMI or video switching

harman kardon hs 300 review: This is a superb, well designed and built system, bar the remote control.

Good sound quality, Sub-woofer blends well with the satellite speakers

Remote control not up to standards of other components, More digital audio inputs would be nice

This is a superb, well designed and built system, bar the remote control.
