Yamaha SRT-1000 review

Yamaha ups the ante (and the price point) for the sound platform genre with a model bearing its effective Sound Projector technology, the SRT-1000. And while powerful bass and clean treble highlight its sound signature, a lack of features steals some of its thunder.

Sony HT-XT1 review

LG Sound Plate LAP340 review

Those not up for a sound bar may find favor with a rapidly expanding new trend: the sound base. Or, as LG calls theirs, sound plate. Whatever you call them, these devices offer serious space-saving and much-improved sound quality over TV speakers.

Harman Kardon Sabre SB 35 review

The Sabre SB35 sound bar brings gorgeous good looks, and one of the slimmest profiles we’ve seen on the market. But did Harman Kardon go too thin with this sliver of silver to produce hi-fi audio performance?
