NEVER COMPROMISE Going with an HTiB system generally means settling for convenience over performance, but Onkyo's HT-S990THX bites off a chunk of both. Not only is the included receiver rated to deliver an impressive 110 watts to each channel, but the speakers have big enough woofers (5-inchers) to actually do something with that power. A hefty 12-inch subwoofer fills in the low end. Yeah, that THX isn't in the name for show.

ESCAPE INTO ORBIT State-of-the-art satellite radio technology is onboard: Just slip in an XM mini tuner ($60), activate your subscription ($12.95 a month), and you'll be listening to radio from the sky. It beats going there yourself.
