Editors' Top Rated Home Theatre
The CNET.com.au Editors' Choice Award is a hallmark of exceptional product performance, design, quality, and value, and signifies a product that is considered best of breed in its category.
Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A 
This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.
Sony Bravia KDL46W4000
The Sony Bravia 46W4000 offers exceptional image and sound quality at a reasonable price.
Panasonic TH-42PZ800A
If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.
Logitech Harmony One
If you're looking for a sturdy, workhorse remote and don't want to pay through the nose then the Logitech Harmony One is an excellent choice.
Samsung LA32R81BDX
The Samsung LA32R81BDX delivers excellent image quality across high definition and standard definition content and will suit most users' needs.
Sony Bravia KDL-32D3100
If you are in the market for a high quality television but have limited space, the Sony Bravia KDL-32D3100 will certainly fit the bill nicely.
Sony STRDA5300ES
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
Sharp AQUOS LC-42PD7X
The Sharp LC42PD7X is the best 42inch LCD panel on the market. It isn't perfect, but its incredible image quality and reasonable price point outweigh any minor shortcomings.
Pioneer PDP-LX608A
The Pioneer PDP-LX608A is an amazing full-HD, 1080p screen, and justifiably sits at the apex of the company's plasma range.
Sony KDL46XBR
The Sony KDL46XBR is an excellent example of the LCD art, and includes up-to-date -- and working! -- features, and sumptuous styling.
Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D
The Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D may be very expensive, but its picture performance nothing short of stunning, and the Ambilight Spectra system stands out from the crowd.
Pioneer PDP-508XDA
The Pioneer PDP-508XDA is without a doubt one of the best televisions ever released, with excellent black levels and oodles of detail.
Lindy 3 Port HDMI Switch with Remote
The Lindy 3 Port HDMI Switch with Remote is an inexpensive and recommended upgrade for anyone looking to add extra sources to their home theatre.
Samsung LA40R81BD
Without getting into the whole plasma versus LCD thing we can just say the Samsung LA40R81BD is a very good example of either technology. Highly recommended.
Logitech Squeezebox
You couldn't ask for a much simpler audio/Internet radio streamer than the Logitech Squeezebox, although you do pay a premium for that convenience.
Onkyo TX-SR605
The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price
Panasonic VIERA TH-50PX70A
The latest generation of plasma televisions has really impressed us, and the Panasonic VIERA TH-50PX70A is an excellent example of plasma's potential.
Epson EMP-TW1000
It may lack luxury functions, extended connectivity and the inky blacks of pricier models, but this is well offset by beautiful HD pictures, extended lens shift and ultra-short throw capabilities.
Samsung HT-TXQ120T
The Samsung HT-TXQ120 is a rock solid audio system that rivals component-level kits in sound quality. This, however, is not the case for the video department with its just above-average visuals.
Sharp XV-Z21000
Sharp's XV-Z21000 is a top performer among 1080p projectors, and delivers a solid feature package and sleek design to boot.

The Marantz SR6003 is a forthcoming receiver which features DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD decoding, 1080p upscaling and a new design.
-
The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
-
The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality with flabby sounding bass.
-
The Samsung HT-X810 is a breeze to set-up and looks great sitting underneath your TV, and while picture quality is great, the sound slightly disappoints.
-
Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones
An exceptional pair of reference headphones for the price with sonic accuracy across the board and brutal detail from upper low end to the top of the high end.
