Promising the best in the business and touting itself as the "first high-performance, low-profile" sound bars, the SLIMstage40 by soundmatters are simply marvelous. Offering an engaging 5.1 surround experience sans the fuss of a/v receivers and hideous speakers, the soundbar fits flush under your flat LCD TV. Delving into the specs, it features 170 Watts from eight internal amplifiers, provides surround sound from both stereo and 5.1 signals, and finally it sounds real, articulate bass, thereby giving you the option of the external subwoofer completely. It also features four Linear Magnetic Drive main/satellite speakers in its compact console. The biggest deal however, is that the SLIMstage40 packs in EuphonyHD virtual surround technology, specially developed by DiMAGIC, Inc. and soundmatters. Included in the setup are 13 speaker drivers, three digital audio inputs (two optical, one coax), three analog inputs (two on the rear panel plus one front iPod input), as well as a virtual surround headphone output jack. A high-contrast LED backlit panel graphics display gives compliments the design.

SLIMstage40 measures 3.3" (H) x 3.4" (D) x 39" (W). It comes with a user-friendly IR remote, front panel controls, RS-232 port, and both "easy tilt" shelf feet and a wall bracket. SLIMstage40 is available now for $899. When bundled with the award-winning SUBstage100 subwoofer it would cost you $1199.
