Photos: Sound systems for home theaters

Samsung HT-TQ85

Editor's rating: 7.9

The good: Home theater in a box with integrated A/V receiver/five-disc DVD changer, four tower speakers, compact center speaker and subwoofer. Exceptional connectivity suite includes HDMI output up to 1080i, HDMI input for HD sources, a USB Host, and XM Satellite Radio capability. There's an optional wireless amplifier for rear channel speakers.

The bad: There's no speaker autosetup, and the manual setup is awkwardly implemented.

The bottom line: If the Samsung HT-TQ85's best-in-class feature set doesn't clinch the sale, its superlative sound on DVDs and CDs will.
