Sony DAV-IS50/B
$600.00
Released September, 2008
The Pros:Speakers are very tiny, take up very little room. Easy setup and installation, everything is simple and obvious. Plenty of bass support, great for movie sound effects.
The Cons:Getting the system set up wirelessly requires additional purchases which aren't conveniently listed anywhere. Some of the mids and highs come through a little tinny.
The DAV-IS50/B is a higher-end, 5.1-channel micro system, part of Sony's BRAVIA line. The tiny satellite speakers allow for flexible placement, while the large subwoofer more than compensates for their small size.

The system features a slot-loading DVD player, and DVD upscaling to 1080p with an HDMI connection. An included iPod dock and Digital Media Port allow for use with iPods, Walkmans, and Bluetooth-enabled devices, although additional accessories are often required for these features, as well as for S-AIR technology, which makes possible wireless speaker configurations. The compact design and extensive feature set allow for versatility but generally compromise sound quality, reviews say.
