For the money the Sony HT-CT100 has it all. Great Sound from Amazon.com It just doesn't get much better or easier to setup than the Sony HT-CT100. I have a medium/small livingroom and needed a system that would sound good, or even great, but not take up much of somewhat limited space. from Circuitcity.com I have the HT-CT100 tied up to a Samsung LN52A850. The room is 23 X 25 and I have no problem with not enough volume as some others have stated. from Amazon.com After reading all the favorable reviews here and at CNET, I bought the Sony HT-CT100 thinking it would be plenty powerful for watching TV and DVD movies in my 20' by 18' family room. At maximum volume, I have found this system is just adequate to give me that "full sound with subwoofer" feeling. from Amazon.com I have had this for about a week hooked it up with a Sony blu ray and 60' Sony TVall HDMI connections . This product does not give even an illusion of surround sound. from Circuitcity.com Another fine product from Sony. This Sony HT-CT100 sound bar system provides the quality of sound I was wanting and more than met my expectations. from Crutchfield.com I think part of the problem is with the low-level output of the TV's RCA audio connection and for this reason I decided to look for a speaker system that could take advantage of my HDTV's digital optical audio output connection. I also didn't want to have a five-speaker system all around the room and so I focused my search on soundbar-type systems. The Sony HT-CT100, just recently introduced, fit the bill perfectly and comes at a price much lower than the Yamaha and Philips soundbar systems with optical inputs. The Sony HT-CT100 produces great sound. from Amazon.com I think part of the problem is with the low-level output of the TV's RCA audio connection and for this reason I decided to look for a speaker system that could take advantage of my HDTV's digital optical audio output connection.

The Sony HT-CT100, just recently introduced, fit the bill perfectly and comes at a price much lower than the Yamaha and Philips soundbar systems with optical inputs. The Sony HT-CT100 produces great sound. from Bestbuy.com For instance, the Beck album Midnight Vultures, which I popped in the player to celebrate my purchase, sounds like a completely different (and inferior) album. I also tried a Dizzy Gillespie album, which sounded even worse because the hi-hats were dull, almost absent. Supposedly our ability to hear high sounds declines fastest with age, so if you want to know how music sounds to an octogenarian, the HT-CT100 is the system for you. I was so shocked by the difference that I actually had to do a sanity check on myself by playing both albums in my car, on my iPhone, and finally, after rewiring my system back the way it was, through my television. from Amazon.com Trust me, this sounds INCREDIBLE. I was blown away by the quality and faux-surround of a $200 unit. To get true lossless however, you must connect a PS3 (or Blu-Ray player) via HDMI to the HT-CT100, then the HT-CT100 via HDMI to the TV. Extremely highly recommended. from Amazon.com
