Editors' Top Home audio

  If you're on a budget and have a big room or just demand big sound, a full-size system is just the ticket. Sure, you could buy separate speakers and components, but with HTIBs like these, you're getting the next best thing for much less hassle. Full-size systems often boast A/V receivers that are just as good as separate units and muscular speakers big enough for real home-theater oomph. Be aware that a few of these systems don't include DVD players--which may be a blessing if you already have one of your own.
