Home Cinema in a Box

Samsung squeezes so much into the well-priced HT-C6500 Blu-ray package

You have a choice, with the highly capable LG HB965TZ, of wall-mounting the speakers or using the stands provided

It's DVD only, and there's precious little that we enjoyed about this system from Teufel. At half this price it'd be mediocre

Good all-in-one Blu-ray system - the speakers may be tall but as they're so slim they blend into the background well

It's not got much going for it in the looks department, but this JVC is a tidy performer that shines even at high volumes

It's as pretty as a picture, but there's no way we can recommend this woefully lacking Samsung soundbar

A mixture of both soundbar and receiver, this accomplished Yamaha delivers high-quality sound with plenty of presence and focus

This extremely tidy system offers excellent Blu-ray images, but unfortunately sound quality is not so impressive

The YSP-4100 is a sophisticated, modern and convincing attempt to produce surround sound from one box

It may look a little old fashioned, but the JVC TH-BD50 system is nevertheless an adequate performer
