You'll also find built-in Wi-Fi and access to Samsung Apps.
Samsung has been making some changes to its home theater systems in the last few years and this year's models are certainly taking things up-market a bit.
The company's new home theater systems - the 7.1 channel E6730W and 5.1 channel E5500W - include more than just the traditional receiver and speaker combination. For starters, they pack a Blu-ray player that does 2D to 3D conversion so you can enjoy your existing Blu-rays with a bit of extra pop.
More interesting though is the addition of tube amplifiers to the higher end E6730W. The system combines "The crystal clear sound quality from a digital amplifier with the warmer tone qualities of vacuum tubes." The tubes are visible from the front and top of the system too, giving you a piece of hardware that's bound to impress some folks.

Lowe Launches the 3D Blu-Ray Home Cinema Set Speaker System

Lowe's new system is all about quality and style.
The new Home Cinema Set from Lowe is designed as an all-in-one player for your living room. It handles audio from iPods and iPhones, plays back CDs and handles DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D. The system also boasts Gracenote, which identifies the music your playing and displays the artist name and song title. You can even use it to identify music playing in a movie, which is a pretty nice touch.
The MediaVision 3D is the main component of the system and it's incredibly stylish. The default look is either Aluminum Silver or Black, but there's a lot of customization possible. You can change the top-mounted inlay to one of 250 different colors and designs to suit your style.
Satellite speakers and a subwoofer are included with the system, both of which are finished in Aluminum Silver and Black. If you're feeling really attached to the inlay on your MediaVision 3D you can change the tops of the speakers to match - might be a nice way to help your sub to blend in.
