Designed to match their $10K Series 9 LED TV, the Samsung HT-C9950W 3D home theatre Blu-ray system is stunning. It also looks like it could topple over with the slightest touch, but maybe that’s just my paranoid-father-of-a-one-year-old-who-pulls-on-everything-within-his-limited-grasp mind talking…
Fortunately, the system is a lot more versatile than that picture shows, and can be both wall mounted, placed on a table or supported on its minimalist stand. The system incorporates all the latest audio codecs, an iPod dock and two HDMI inputs, and comes standard with a wireless module to offer both BD-Live content and access to Samsung’s online Apps. portal.
The entire 7.1 system has an RRP of $2,399. Whether or not it will match your home decor though is another question altogether.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 at 3:48 PMThose thin plastic speakers look hideous. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong, but I can’t see this system producing anything other than unnatural tinny highs and boomy lows. For today’s lossless soundtracks, the only way to get the full experience is by investing in floor standing or booshelf speakers. For $2400 you could build a complete home theatre system with dedicated A/V receiver that would crap all over this synthetic looking garbage.
