Denon DHT-1312BA Black 5.1-channel home theater system

A wonderful collaboration

HTIBs (Home Theater In a Box) are great because they allow you to outfit your living room with a full-fledged speaker setup for one low price. There's no need to hunt down individual parts, worry about matching pieces, and try to wade through spec sheets to figure out what you need. But, most HTIBs are made by companies that focus on either receivers or speakers. As such, they're not necessarily as well-rounded as you might like your setup to be. That problem is a thing of the past with the DHT-1312BA. This package is a collaboration between Denon (known for their high-quality receivers) and Boston Acoustics (a well-regarded speaker specialist). With the combination of a Denon receiver and Boston speaker set, you get the best of both ends of the spectrum. And it's just as convenient, easy, and affordable as other HTIBs. So what are you waiting for? Turn your entertainment console into a full-fledged home theater today with the DHT-1312BA!
