The Bottom Line Sharp's skinny receiver and DVD player combo unit is drop-dead gorgeous, but its sound quality could use a makeover. Samsung's HT-BD1250 home theater system has built-in Blu-ray, streaming media from Netflix and Pandora, and excellent audio and video quality, making it our top budget Blu-ray all-in-one system. The Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K delivers an excellent feature set and outstanding sound quality for its price, making it our top midrange AV receiver pick so far. Sony's HT-CT100 soundbar/subwoofer audio system is a phenomenal value that sounds great with movies and music.
