Samsung HT-Q100- 2.1 Designer Home Theatre Kit - 260 Watt

Samsung Quality, 2008-03-12
I was lucky enough to be in Dubai when I saw this product. However it was not a 2.1 system but a 5.1 and came with an additional 3 speakers plus a wireless set up for the rear speakers (optional)
It is the classiest system I have heard. When watching movies in particular Swordfish or Patriot you actually feel as if you are in the movie depending on where you position the speakers. Fan Sounds? Maybe it's because I purchased mine abroad but not a sound. Easy to operate and just recently purchased my Samsung 1080p tv with PS3. Living the dream.

HARMAN KARDON - HS200 DVD/DivX/HDMI 2.1 Home Cinema System

Sony HTDDW790 - 5.1 Home Cinema System - With Bravia Theatre Sync

Amazing, 2007-08-17
I was recommended this by some people on AVforums when looking for a new surround system for my PC/PS3. I was looking at the Logitech Z5500 series and was told i would be better looking at this set for around the same price.

I am very glad I took the advice and find this system stunning.

Although it is very hard to find on the internet this system does have 2 x HDMI inputs, it also has 3 sets of RCA, 1x Optical and 1 x Coaxial,1 x line/mp3 player in(on front) and a 1/4" standard headphone jack (front) not the largest number of connections in the world but don't forget those all important HDMI.

The amp is in stack form so can be added to to make the system into a seperates stack in the future.

Configuration is easy, comes with a microphone that plugs into the front multi purpose jack (doubles as portable audio input and line in as well as for the micrphone.

All speaker cables are NOT attached except for the sub woofer. So they can be changed/exchanged for better quality/longer/shorter cables as you wish.

The remote can be used as part of the Bravia Home Theatre package and as such has a fully functional remote to control the entire system. Somewhat of a waste if you have other branded Home threatre equipment which means I have a jam packed remote full of buttons 95% of which i will never need to use, unfortunately since the PS3 uses bluteooth for it's remote, it is no use there either.

Sound quality is stunning, in a medium sized room, this is replacing a previous surround system and it's 800W amp is ample enough to fill the room with sound. I do not yet know the maximum volume of the unit as i couldn't get it past 50 without causing things to shake in the room and comfortable listening level is around 25-30 volume units in the day time.

The sub is a nicely (read: rather large) sized sub, quite capable and I have sound tested it all the way to down 20Hz, and it can be noticeably felt (although not really heard) even this low with sub trim at only 4 (on a trim scale of (-10 - +10))

The display of the Amp allows for input naming (I have "Vibez", "PC" and "PS3" on the display) It is an L.E.D style display lit in a blue/white colour (only the text/symbols are lit, not the background so unnecessary light output) the display can also be dimmed via a button on the front of the AMP although it is not noticeable at night anyway (if you did leave it on) and is absolutely not noticeable over the output of my HDTV so even if near the TV it will not even catch your eye on maximum brightness while at the same time still being clearly readable from a distance)

The Amp also remembers the last input used and will switch back on in the sate it was last left.

Support for DD and Dolby PLII upto 96(?)kHz and also has plenty of Sound modes (Home Cinema EX - Modelled after the actual sound characteristics of various Sony theatre studios), dynamic range compression (variable) and stereo audio upmixing for playing stereo audio through all channels. All beautifully configurable.

In terms of the build quality, the Amp is a heavy, brushed steel chassis, clear display and large heavy volume knob ( you won't accidently turn it up too loud because it offer a smooth yet controlled resistance to your turning) and then entire top of the amp is vented to let out the masses of heat the unit produces. The unit is definately relay driven as their clicking on and off can be heard when switching.

The sub is a solid wooden box, approx 35cm x 25cm x 30cm (HxDxW) This is just anapproximate guess as i don't have anyhting to measure it with handy. The sub is a front firing and front ported passive driven 20cm subwoofer and it does pack a punch.

The speakers are small, cuboid, although tapered to the rear (imagine a cube going into the distance on a page, smaller as it gets further away) I would say approx 9cm x 9cm x 10cm. These are single full range driver NOT ported but still capable of a decent sound output even without the sub enabled.

Of course, the amps auto calibration will adjust for distance and height above hearing level for all speakers and adjust accordingly but every options can still be manually calibrated from within the menu for the anal amongst us.

an FM/AM Tuner is featured, and the sound from this system is the best I have ever heard radio broadcasts.

There is a portable audio enhancement mode when connecting mp3 players via the front jack, this mode will enhance the sound from the compressed audio (MP3 is mentioned). I have tried this personally and have heard a noticeable difference with low bitrate tracks (128kbps) in MP3 but could not hear a noticeable difference with 320kbps MP3 and certainly made no difference to FLAC audio.

Otherwise, I can personally find nothing (other than the over populated remote control) that I would change with this system. Power consumption is 220W rated at 240V. and a mere 0.3W in standby mode.

Unlike my previous sound system, the speakers emit NO hiss when the system is on and no sound is being output, which i find an amazing help. Also the entire system only uses 1 power socket since the sub is passively powered by the amp(but significantely more powerful than the actively powered one in my previou setup)

I was certainly recommend this system to anyone looking for an entry level home theatre system, and having tried several other cheaper and nasty systems in the past i find this system perfect. And I couldn't ask for more for the price.

Sony - DAV-IS10 Home Cinema System

Great Piece of Hardware, 2008-05-06
I bought this to upgrade my 6 year old Sony HT-BE1 system, and was not disapointed. The first thing that came to mind was how could speakers so small (literally the size of golf balls) give enough sound, but it does! i have a fairly spacious room and it more than suffices, what i reallly like about this system is the big bastard bass box that comes with it, room literally shakes at some points (would recommend watching beowulf)

If like me you are a bit confused as to what ports and connections it has, well here it is, the little black reciver (the smallest of the boxes) has a Co-axial port,HDMI port (as it is also a dvd player) analogue audio ports (the red and white ones) and a DM Port that i dont use but u can stream music via bluetooth etc.

It has built in radio for AM/FM frequencies, TV (if u wanted to hook up your tv to the surround sound) basically any sort of input device it will play it. Now in saying that it is a dvd player also which apparently upscales your dvd's to 1080i, i DONT use this dvd player i have a blu ray player connected to it so i cant comment on that.

Overall im delighted with the purchase, the reason i give it 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that i like to listen to my music at time extremely loud and loud as it may be it just is not as LOUD as i would like.
