Sony HT-CT100 Theater System

$273.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
got it home and hooked it up in 15 mins now thats awesome.
from www.bestbuy.com
great:?could use a bit more power and more configurable settings "this is the perfect solution for a bedroom or 2nd tv where you don't need a full 5.1 system and don't want to run wires everywhere.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?easy to set up with hdmi; small footprint, sleek design what's not so great:?remote only controls sony products "i purchased this speaker system 2 days ago and within 15
from www.bestbuy.com
to that end i bought the bravia 3.1 sound system and mounted it.
from www.amazon.com
first of all this is not a perfect product but for $199 it does exactly what i want it to do for a low price.

Sony HT-SS2300 Blu-ray Disc Matching Component

$338.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's a great product if you're using for a bedroom and want a full 5.1 experience.
from www.amazon.com
i needed a sound system that would take 3 hdmi inputs and output 1 while playing the audio and not just "passing it through" which seems really stupid to me.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted an amp that could handle multiple hdmi inputs, reasonable 5.1 and was affordable as it would find its home in the family room.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased a $1,200 system but returned it because it sounded horrible after it was home and connected.
from www.amazon.com
introduced a blu-ray player included in the playstation 3 (still the best buy) it makes sense for sony to complete the a/v system with a matched economical hd hdmi home theatre blu-ray 5.1 system.

Onkyo HT-S7100 Theater System

$715.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
ordered the onkyo ht-s7100 late saturday night (1/24) and received it yesterday (1/27) with free prime 2 day shipping, along with black hawk down on blu-ray.
from www.amazon.com
i tried it in 2.1, 5.1, and 7.1.
from www.amazon.com
calibration of the 8 speakers with the automatic mic system took 10 minutes as stated.
from www.amazon.com
it comes with the onkyo tx-sr606 receiver which is one the best receivers out there under $1,000.
from www.amazon.com
the system comes with the sr-606 and i know realize that the sr-706 receiver would be a better choice -- 1080p video upscale as opposed to 1080i.

from valsatt, www.shopping.com
review: we hooked the s4100 system up on 4/19/09.?
from www.amazon.com
it seems to me like if you want to go the hdmi route you should have a 7.1 system with speakers good enough to hear the lossless benefits.
from www.amazon.com
the clear sound quality of this powerful 1200 watt system is superior for the money- as many reputable online review sources said.
from www.amazon.com
the room that i have it in is about 12 x 20 and the sound is great if i crank it up.
