Panasonic SC-HT 1000

Advantages: extremely loud, powerful, very stylish, excellent bass response
Disadvantages: huge sub

...This package is no comparison for ANY other systems in its price range. It is extremely loud, with a huge subwoofer for deep, tight bass. music playback is just astonishing and i have used this system for 2 parties, lots of people have complimented me on my system. i compared this to a system costing £850, and this just beat it hands down with power, bass, volume and looks/style.

Advantages: Superior power (1000watts), stylish, HDMI upscaling, AV inputs
Disadvantages: None

...there was no distortion just clear crisp quality sound. The sony was close but it only has 850 watts where the Pansonic boasts a massive 1000 watts this factor sold it to me in the first place the samsung only has 800 and the phillips 600 so on power the panasonic by far The very helpful man in currys played a dvd through them all and again the Panasonic stood out for the sharpest picture through the impressive 1080i HDMI upscaling feature, this system also has av inputs so you can watch your Sky/Virgin tv and play the sound in Surround sound even the Sony doesnt do this, the phillips does BUT can you really sacrafice a massive 400watt power loss by not having the panasonic This will truely be the best £150-£200 you will ever spend for a complete home theatre experience trust me you will not be dissapointed, a really exciting addition to any Plasma/ LCD...
