philips HTS6500

[kael]

This is a new HTiB from philips that is meant to compete with bose 321,denon,kef 2.1 systems. My best buy just got it in but was still in the box. Just curious if has anybody listen to it yet or seen it? thanks for you help.

All that 2-1 is junk, if you want DD5-1 you need 6 speakers not 2 or 3

 

[Digital Dude]

oljim is right. If you can't run wires for rears then the Polk or Yamaha audio bar is better than the 3-2-1 stuff.

 

[VIPERS-PIT]

Wires can be run in ANY situation. There is no situation that wires can not be run for rear speakers. When will people stop buying in to the crap BOSE is shoveling. Saying this crap sounds even close to 5.1 in their ads is criminal.

AMEN! I have 20' vaulted ceilings and easily ran wires for full in-wall 9 channel sound along with 32' s-video and component cable runs for an on ceiling FPTV. Stay away from all-in-one boxed systems or "simulated" setups. They are all ripoffs when you compare quality to costs.
