HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #402: RedEye Remote Control and HTiB Buying Guide 2009

[arad]

Typically we are not big fans of Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) systems. Its not because the electronics are not good. In most cases the electronics are decent middle of the road components. The area we feel HTIB systems break are the speakers. When you consider that the manufacturer needs to bundle 7 speakers in a system that goes for $500 how good can the speakers be? With that said, we understand that not everyone has a big budget and that a HTIB system is better than nothing. We recommend four systems that have decent to good electronics and these components will sound even better one day when you upgrade the speakers. All but one of these systems feature electronics that you can keep for years.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=htguys.wordpress.com&blog=8935650&post=91&subd=htguys&ref=&feed=1" />
