The Sony DAV-X10 is the gold standard of home theater systems when it comes to minimalism.
The entire package is as pictured above; a sleek main box, which has some hidden touch controls, and only two speakers. Some may say, and many will agree, that two speakers is paltry compared to the 5.1 and even 7.1 surround sound of today’s market. However, the surround sound will be available by Sony’s own S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, through virtualization. The small package accounts for 480 watts of power consumption.
A simple Bluetooth adapter will allow you to play music off of any device with compatible technology. “Old” DVDs will be upscaled to fit your shiny 720p or 1080i HDTV.
No information in terms of price point yet, but there should be soon given its purported September launch.
