And at only $199 this little beast is set to be a real irritant up against Blu-ray devices that in some cases cost three times as much as this Toshiba box.

The Philips HTS6100 is a soundbar home theatre system that only takes up a small space and can deliver a unique home cinema feel to any room.

Pioneer’s HTP-LX70 certainly looks the part, but does it perform up to par with other home theatre kits in the market?
