Product Description

Providing room-filling sound, but without the room-filling electronics and multiple speaker boxes, the DHT-FS5 integrated surround sound speaker system combines the latest surround processing technologies, including Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS surround, along with multiple amplifier channels and carefully balanced loudspeaker drivers in a slim, elegant cabinet. The DHT-FS5 can be easily mounted on a shelf in a TV cabinet, or even mounted directly to the wall underneath a wall-mounted TV. Six carefully balanced loudspeakers are precisely aimed to send sound into the room, providing an amazing surround sound experience without the need for multiple, bulky speaker boxes. X-Space Surround technology decodes the original multi-channel audio soundtrack using sophisticated processing algorithms, allows the DHT-FS5 to deliver an unbelievable, room-filling surround sound experience for listeners anywhere in the room. The Night Mode lets you enjoy your favorite movies and shows without disturbing others in the home, and the remote control includes input selection and multiple surround sound mode options.

This review is from: Denon DHT-FS5 Sound Bar with X-Space Surround Sound (Electronics)

I bought the Denon SoundBar because I wanted better sound from my new TV and I wanted to eliminate the need for (a) speaker wires all over and (b) a separate audio receiver. I wanted a clean set-up: TV, BluRay Player, SoundBar, and a Sub. The Denon fit the bill nicely at a decent price. I am very happy with the sound. It doesn't make me think I'm in a 5.1 surround system (I have that in another room of the house) but it is MUCH better than TV sound and every once in a while it convinces me that I do have speakers next to me at my viewing position. Definitely happy with it. I did add a small sub (I bought the Dayton 8 inch for 90 bux) and that definitely helps the low end. I posted a couple pictures too if that helps you judge the size (it's below a 47-inch LG TV and just behind a Sony BluRay player).

Length:: 1:15 Mins

Overall this is good value for the money. Better for small apartments.

Pros:
- small footprint
- stylish
- super easy setup
- Dolby/DTS decoding
- Amazon price (good value for money)

Cons:
- no bass/low end without subwoofer
- surround faux field is decent but not ultra convincing
- some sharpness on processing
