Yamaha HTY-750: Surround sound in one small speaker

The remote control means you won't have to keep getting up to adjust settings, but it also has another cool feature. Known as My Beam, the HTY-750 can adjust the sound and focus it directly on where you are sitting. This is really useful if you're trying not to disturb people in other rooms. It really works well too, although you do see a substantial reduction in bass response with it engaged. Still, handy if your other half is yelling at you to turn down the fragging.
