Best Blu-ray home theater systems (Blu-ray HTIBs)
Now that Blu-ray has dropped in price, manufacturers have begun to integrate Blu-ray players to HTIBs for only slightly more than DVD systems. Our experience with Blu-ray HTIBs has been excellent so far; almost all of the systems we've tested recently offer a legitimate home theater experience, often for only a couple hundreds dollars more than a standalone Blu-ray player.
If you already have a Blu-ray player, check out our list of the best Blu-ray/DVD-ready home theater systems, which offer everything you need, minus the disc player and TV.
