Onkyo HTX-22D sound system

4 out of 5

Sick of weedy sound dribbling from your HDTV's speakers? Plug your AV kit into one end of this, and the other into your TV via HDMI. You can then easily switch between all your devices and change their volume using one remote. Setup and expandability are impressive, with support for cutting-edge HD audio formats and the ability to add extra speakers (up to 5.1 surround sound). The result is a neat and compact system that will give masses more scale, range and impact than even the best built-in TV set - especially if you use the new DTS Surround Sensation feature. Its size and price mean it's not the last word in home cinema, but it's an excellent starting point. And no dribbling.
