Samsung HT-AS720ST Home Theater in a Box

[admin]

It's not every day that a system like the Samsung HT-AS720ST catches our eye... and ear! Although it isn't a cheap $99 package, or an over priced $2000 cube speaker system, this $600 home theater is something to take a look at if you are just getting into home theater. The sleek and shiny appearance matches very well with today's glossy-edged flat panel displays, and Samsung has been very careful to have it match the look and feel of its Blu-Ray players, as well.

I want to walk in prejudiced and call this a competitor to the Onkyo HT-SR800. However, the Sammy has HDMI audio in for the same price. The Onkyo has two more speakers, but its HDMI is only pass-thru. Therefore, its closest competitors would be the Sony HT-SS2000 and HT-SF2000.

Are you all actually going to review it? I'm curious how it sounds w/ PCM audio from a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player as well as SACD and DVD-Audio.
