One-box home cinema
Years ago, one-box home cinema was a luxury only a handful of people can afford. With prices shooting to astronomical proportions, a one-box home cinema system was considered as something as the one of the most coveted items in the household. The leading one-box home cinema brands (which came up to four figures) were Sony, Pioneer and Bose. You could buy a Pioneer one-box home cinema for an estimate of $4300, while Bose one-box home cinema came in second with around $3600 price. The introduction of Sony one-box home cinema, however, has set a lower price for the item. Sony released a system priced at $1499 that aimed to rival other one-box cinemas at a cheaper cost.
Four-figured one-box home cinemas these days are considered extravagance, if not ridiculous. You can find $500 worth of one-box home cinemas that offer the best quality. If you are one of the people that do not bother with quality, you can get a one-box home cinema system for $100. However, the three leading one-box home cinemas (Sony, Pioneer and Bose) have good reason why they charge that much on their systems, including the useful features that they sport. Let us compare and contrast the Sony HTDDW1000 and Panasonic SCHT880W to assess the important things (like the audio quality of the speakers, and subwoofers and bass) when buying a one-box home cinema system.
For example, the Sony HTDDW1000 has a 6.1- channel system with two small subwoofers that have excellent audio quality. This model of Sony one-box home cinema also has three rear speakers. The bass is defined and controlled and the big speakers (with 25cm wide x 95cm high x 28cm deep, floor-standing front, left and right speakers) have the best sound. It is recommended to have a good DVD player, which costs about $300, to maximize your video and audio experience. Sony HTDDW1000 price ranges from $1000 to $1199.
The Panasonic SCHT880W, on the other hand can be bought for $1299, but some stores offer it for $1199 or less. The Panasonic SCHT880W has four sleek and sturdy speakers that can be placed on each corner and the rear speakers are connected to a rear receiver (no need for cables across the room). However, the rear receiver needs a power cord. This Panasonic system has a very powerful bass and remarkable vision, with good high-definition quality. The player’s versatility makes it compatible with different discs such as MP3.
