Thank you Sony. Now I think I'll pair it w/ the HES-V1000.]]>Feb 26th 2008 11:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/Feb 26th 2008 1:45PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/
Puny plastic satellites certainly won't make you feel like you're there. And you can't make up for tiny satellites by throwing in a subwoofer -- you lose important directionality, and probably lose some of the lower midrange sound entirely. Sometimes they bring up the crossover to something ridiculously high like 120Hz in order to cover the inadequacies of the satellites, which only makes it painfully obvious when crossover occurs.

I'll admit, I'm posting a general rant here, and haven't tried this specific HTIB. But even if you go with HTIB, you should AT LEAST look for wood-housed speakers with a decent-sized center channel.]]>Feb 26th 2008 2:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/Feb 26th 2008 4:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/26/sonys-latest-home-theaters-in-boxes-land/Feb 26th 2008 4:08PM
