We've tested several home cinema systems recently but there's something about the HT-X810R that got us a lot more excited than usual. The no-nonsense installation and terrific looks are a major factor, but what impressed us the most is its unusual feature list - particularly the wireless sub, Bluetooth support, 1080p upscaling and DVD-Audio playback - which at this price makes it feel like extremely good value for money.
It's a shame that the system couldn't back it up with similarly impressive performance though, as the unrefined sub and flawed pictures let the side down and prevent it from earning top honours. But systems like this are more about style than substance and even taking its shortcomings into consideration, we reckon it's still worth checking out.
