Regular readers of Neowin will have noticed that we have been covering several audio system-related deals. These have included several AV receivers (AVRs), including the excellent Marantz SR8015 11.2 channel AVR, which were fantastic deals. Sadly, those are not at the same price anymore, but you can still go for it if you wanted the SR8015 which is highly regarded by enthusiasts.
Or you can also consider Denon"s AVRs which are currently selling at very nice prices. These include the 9.4 channel X4800H, as well as 7.2 channel X2800H and S970H.
In terms of features, the X4800H supports Dolby Atmos as well as IMAX Enhanced, both of which are highly coveted by movie enthusiasts. It also supports DTS:X Pro as well as most other similar features. Denon says the X4800H provides 125 watts of power on its nine channels.
Meanwhile, for the two other receivers, while both the X2800H and S970H are 7.2 channels, the former supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, among other features, the latter lacks these and also is 90 watts per channel compared to 95 watts on the X2800H.

Outside of AVRs, we have also covered high-end HTIB (home theatre in a box) sound bar models like the Nakamichi Dragon and the Nakamichi Shockwafe. For those who are not looking for a home cinema experience and instead want something for listening to loud music or partying at a fraction of that price, consider the Pyle 4-piece mini HiFi for $360.
Similar to the Nakamichi systems linked above, many people nowadays look at soundbar systems with wireless subwoofers as they are easy to set up, take up less space and sound quite decent. Likewise, LG"s newly released S95TR and S90TR have already received price cuts with the former (the flagship) and they are still selling for well under their original MSRPs. And so are the JBL BAR 1000, 700, and 500 models, which are at some of their lowest prices.
However, while those have Dolby Atmos and/or DTS:X, they lack support for IMAX Enhanced. That"s where the new Sony BAR 9/8 sound bars come in and they are still on sale for their lowest prices.
And if you want deep bass, Sony"s wireless subwoofer models, the SA-SW5 and SA-SW3, which can be paired up with the BAR 9 and 8, are currently selling for their lowest-ever prices.
