Samsung's HT-BD1250 Blu-ray Home Theater System

Samsung's HT-BD1250 Blu-ray Home Theater System
ties almost all of the necessary theater pieces into one package. It's also sort of a jack of all A/V trades, allowing users to stream Pandora and Netflix, as well as play Blu-rays, CDs, DVDs and portable media from an iPod. It even adds wireless networking into the mix -- if you're willing to spend another $80 on Samsung's WIS09ABGN Wireless USB/LAN Adapter. You can even make the rear speakers wireless, but that also needs its own extra, the $142 SWA-4000 wireless receiver. Both are optional add-ons, and were not made available for testing.

Out of the box, the HT-BD1250 includes a super-glossy slick black Blu-ray player/receiver, one large and long (16 x 16 x 8) subwoofer, five super-small speakers, an iPod dock and a remote. One of the greatest items that comes with this that we don't typically find in other HTiB setups is speaker wire. The unit comes with a 10-foot run for the center channel, 13.25 feet for each of the front speakers and the subwoofer, and 33 feet for each of the rear speakers. That's right, kids. You may have to run the wire to wherever you want the speakers, but you don't have to put on pants to drive to the local A/V store.

I saw this article earlier; it seems to like Sony is always on the leading edge in technology. Once again they’ve done it. 1000 watts RMS, this is ridiculous power, enough to make go deaf. Let me know what you think. Price isn’t bad either.
