Sony SAVS150H 5.1 / 7.1-channel home theater speaker system

So versatile, it would suit nearly any home

Whether you're assembling the perfect movie-house home theater in your living room, or staging a gaming theater for XBOX and Guitar Hero this unique speaker package may be just what the doctor ordered. That's because it can be configured for either a 5.1-channel audio, or 7.1-channel set-up. The key is the ability of the SA-VS150H surround sound speakers to be connected together to make one larger speaker, or to make one larger speaker into two smaller versions. The rear speaker pair can easily be separated and configured into four small speakers, or two column speakers to use in front or back. Standing column speakers may also be used for unmountable areas. It goes without saying that the 7.1-channel set-up is a must for Blu-ray Discs, and is perfect for getting the best sound from gaming, concerts and action films. The elegant, black-gloss micro-design suits any room, and provides flexible placement for varying channel capability. Easily adapt from apartment to home set-up without having to purchase new home theater components.

Do you have to ask if there's such a thing as "too much wattage?"

Talk about power! With a total audio output of 990 watts, and up to 50kHz, the SA-VS150H may just be the ultimate Blu-ray Disc Player's favorite partner. Regardless if it's a movie, a concert, a video game or a slideshow set to your favorite MP3 music selections from both computer and iPod, you'll get amazingly true theater sound from both configurations. Each speaker has the capability to reproduce 120 watts (x 7) while the subwoofer generates 150 watts. But let's face it, this bundle's 7.1 channel capability means that a Blu-Ray disc's audio &mdash with much more breadth and depth than DVD audio will play at its optimum level. Whether it's "Wall-E," "Grand Theft Auto" or Yo-Yo Ma on the violin at Carnegie Hall, you'll be treated to an astonishing true range of audio gymnastics.

There's gold in them thar tips!

You may not have noticed if someone else has always set up your home theater and stereo systems, but this baby comes with gold-tipped speaker terminals. Okay, it's not true "bling" and you shouldn't try to make a ring or necklace out of it, but gold-tipped terminal connections do equate to improved conductivity for home electronics, and that means an optimization of audio performance.
