| The Bottom Line | Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music. | Sony's HT-CT150 sound bar home theater system sounds great and is way ahead of the competition with its three HDMI inputs; however, its IR receiver limits the subwoofer's placement options. | Samsung's HT-BD1250 home theater system has built-in Blu-ray, streaming media from Netflix and Pandora, and excellent audio and video quality, making it our top budget Blu-ray all-in-one system. | Basic specs |
