800-Watt DVD Home Theater System with USB Plug-and-Play
YOUR BEST BUY!
I picked up the Samsung HT-P38 System from Circuit City and do not regret purchasing it. After days of researching for different high-end home theatre systems, most of which are in the category of more bang for your buck. I found this 800W 5.1 Ch. HT which I thought would be the perfect set up for my bedroom. First off, I was alittle frustrated by installing the speakers. It gets so out of place so times because the lines are so long and there 6 of them all of which are sticking within the back of my TV shelf so you can imagine it is a complete mess in there. <br /> <br />I thought the audio quality was fantastic and the amount of power it has for the low cost. It's a nice, clean sounding system. The center is strong, the subwoofer is average but thats okay if this is in your bedroom or a small living room, the front speakers are mighty powerful and the backend speakers provide fantastic sound effects (LOTR for example is heavinly when played on this HT). All in all, excellent sound quality, no complaints here. <br /> <br />I wasn't expecting much out of the quality but I did pick myself up some high quality component cables (the best for any HT) at the price of $40 at Circuit City and I watch on a 27' Samsung Widescreen HDTV. The DVD player is indeed progressive scan, I wouldn't say the quality is terrific but all the colors are in place and am very satisfied. I have yet to watch more then a few movies but so far so good, a solid 5-disc dvd player. <br /> <br />The style is one of the high points of this HT. The main system itself is verystylish when turned on. It's has a nice blue light out of the button shafts and just looks great, even better when I have guests over. The subwoofer has a sexy but original look to it, it looks absolutely picture perfect with my Samsung Widescreen HDTV. The speakers look very simple but they are more then meets the eye. They have a hole in the back specifically made so you can nail it on to a wall so you don't need to waste $15+ dollars on a speaker mount.  <br /> <br />All in all, for the power, the clear and rich sound, the crisp images, and stylish look there isn't much to complain about other then setting it up. So if your in the market for a good all around system at the right price, the Samsung HT-P38 is your best buy.  <br />
