Niro 800
Editors' rating: 8.1
The good: Ingeniously designed "1.1" single speaker plus seriously potent subwoofer virtual surround home-theater system; compact digital amplifier; optional subwoofer amp boosts bass performance; simplified cable hookup.
The bad: Uninspired styling; no video switching or HDMI connectivity; you supply the DVD player.
The bottom line: Niro's home-theater sound is in the top tier of virtual surround systems and is especially recommended for buyers who will be spending as much time listening to music as watching DVDs.
