I love my speaker docks and enjoy using them. I love (LOVE) using my Sonos system too. But while the docks give awesome portability they often offer limited audio quality volume. And while the Sonos system give big sound, with each room costing a minimum of $299, it is a pricey proposition. Sony’s BDV-E390 Blu-ray Disc Home Theater System with WiFi, on the other hand, offers big sound at an amazingly low price.

The system offers five speakers, one subwoofer and one 3D disc player. The specs look like this…

Built-in Wi-Fi® to stream movies, music, and more

Upscale standard DVDs to near HD quality

Sure the system isn’t portable the way most docks are, but for $349.99 you get an entire audio system, WiFi streaming AND a Blu-ray disk player. As Ray Hartjen, Sr. Manager, Sony Electronics Corporate Communications explains:

At Sony we make every device as feature-rich and functional as possible and sometimes that means one of our products can do the job of two or more. With Sony’s current BDV-E390 and BDV-N790W models, consumers are getting not only great sounding home theater systems, but also a music dock with Pandora, a video streaming player with Netflix and Hulu Plus and a state of the art Blu-ray player.

I’ve been thinking about home theater options, and this is one I may well want to check out. We’re hoping to have a review some time soon. You can learn more and order yours here.
