Onkyo’s HT-S9100THX HTIB

Most home-theater-in-a-box systems are all about style and not substance. Every so often there comes a system that changes that perception and this Oynko system is one of those. With true 7 channel surround sound, this HTIB has features that rival the high end systems. 1080p output, the latest and greatest V1.3 of HDMI connectivity, 4 HDMI ports and decoding of all loss less audio formats such as high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround. It also has automatic sound calibration to help you get the right sounding acoustics for any room you might want to place it in. With features like these and a price of about $1000, it’s easy to see why this system is changing the perception of HTIBs.  [via cnet]
