I have seen a few TV stands with built in speakers in my time, but the ANPR1000H  from Sharp is something that I could actually buy. Here’s why, I live in a small apartment, well big by Japanese standards but small for anywhere else. I don’t have the space or the budget for an expensive sound system and I don’t have the heart to upset the neighbors that much. Sharp’s new offering is plenty loud enough at 300W, gives you 2.1 channel sound that will leave your TV speakers for dead. Two subwoofers support the rack and a shelf well take as many components as you need. This looks the perfect rack if you are looking to conserve space, but desire high quality sound.

It looks good too; I must admit I am a fan of shiny black furniture and components. This is the perfect way to show off your huge Full-HD LCD TV (putting a plasma on a Sharp stand would be tantamount to blasphemy unless it were Pioneer).

Price: Around $1,000 (the British price will hit you for $1,200, but the smart money is on it being closer to the Australian price).
