Harman Kardon HS500
Harman Kardon makes kick ass home theater receivers, and the HS500 Home Theater System ($1200; Spring 2007) looks to bring that level of quality to the home theater-in-a-box category. It packs a punch with a 5.1-channel receiver/DVD player, five satellite speakers, a 200-watt subwoofer, and other features like HDMI connectivity, built-in 1080i video processing, and two USB ports for hooking iPods and other players.
