This Philips HTS8140 isn’t just a speaker bar but an all-in-one home cinema system - tap a fingertip on the glass centrepiece and it glides across to reveal an upscaling DVD player.
DVD pictures are surprisingly sharp, with impressive audio accompaniment courtesy of Ambisound, Philips’ own virtual surround technology, designed to repliace 5.1. It succeeds in widening and extending movie audio to wrap around you while also delivering distinct dialogue and deep, rumbling bass; while not up the Yamaha YSP-40 D’s standards, it’s pretty effective.
The subwoofer handles power and most of the connection duties, and connects to the bar via a single (but pretty fat) cable.
The addition of an FM tuner, iPod dock and USB port (for playing digital movie and music files), all work to make this a capable and very impressive system.
