We all love great surround sound, but positioning speakers in your lounge or bedroom can be tricky. Fortunately, the big manufacturers have been spending lots of time researching how to get an improved sound from smaller speakers so we can enjoy the cinema experience without loads of big speakers everywhere.
However, the temptation with smaller speakers is to hide them away so they are even less visible which will of course ultimately effect the quality of sound you're hearing. Panasonics current range of all in one home cinema systems includes set ups with smaller speakers, but also, with the latest Panasonic SC-PT570 we've seen the addition of taller speakers too. This system has two tall front speakers so they can be easily positioned at the optimum listening height for your ears and two smaller rears speakers so they can be mounted on the wall near your listening position. If you want tall rear speakers, they have also released the top of the range Panasonic SC-PT870 too which has the tall boy speakers all around.
Both systems are at the top end of Panasonics current DVD Home Cinema range and have the looks as well as the performance.
