A word of advice – don’t approach the HTS6100, or any of its soundbar stablemates, thinking you’re going to get the same 5.1-channel performance as a proper six-speaker setup, because you’re not. The HTS6100 is a different animal altogether, but if you adjust your expectations accordingly you’re likely to be very impressed by what the HTS6100 has to offer – we certainly were.
Ambisound produces a remarkable wide soundstage, resulting in one of the best virtual surround performances we’ve heard, while the ultra-stylish design, easy installation and cracking picture quality provide further reasons to whip out your wallet. So if you’ve decided that a front surround system is the way to go, then Philips is the best ‘bar’ none. Sorry.Read full review
