Polk SurroundBar 6000 Soundbar Speaker System

As I've noted so many times in the recent past, soundbars are a viable step up from horrific built-in HDTV speakers, which have only gotten worse as flatpanel HDTVs have gotten flatter. Soundbars are especially suitable for people who don't like...

Vizio VHT510 Soundbar Speaker System

Vizio, how you've grown. When flatpanel HDTVs came along, you were among the first brands created especially to bring the new display technology to eager consumers. Now that butt-ugly direct-view and rear-pro sets are largely a bad memory, you're at...

KEF HTF8003 Soundbar Speaker System

Atlantic Technology FS-7.0 Soundbar and SB-800 Sub

Nothing can replace a multi-discrete-speaker, multi-thousand-dollar home theater system, and Atlantic doesn’t tout the FS-7.0/SB-800 system as being able to do so. On the other hand, it’s a great alternative to a traditional home theater setup or...

ZVOX 425 Speaker System

Some people would call it cheating. Others might be less pejorative and consider it a shortcut. Either way, setting a rectangular box on top of your TV, plugging in an analog stereo RCA cable, finding an outlet for a single AC power cord, and pressing...

Naim n-Vi Home Theater System

There are two ways to look at compact home theater—a.k.a. in-a-box—systems. The dominant, mass-market HTIBs are a step down in cost and performance for those who are content to pay less and get less. If the system comes with fewer distracting bells and...
