Sony’s newbies promise big cinema sound from discreet speakers.

Combining a minimalist sleek hexagonal sound bar with a powerful sub-woofer, both the HT-CT60 and its big brother the HT-CT260 are designed to deliver a big cinema sound experience in a home setting.

With a powerful subwoofer, wireless in the case of the CT260, both units deliver deep notes that lend more drama to a film, and deliver 3D audio effects designed to fill a room. The CT60 has two front speakers that deliver 60W of clear, detailed audio, while the CT260 offers a bigger impact with its 300W of total speaker power.

Designed for quick and easy cable-free access to favourite tracks via built-in Bluetooth, the CT260 also allows you to stream music from your PC, tablet or smartphone straight to the crisp, powerful sound of a 2.1 system.

Both models can be placed on a shelf, in front of your TV or mounted on the wall. They are light and compact, free from the clutter of cables and can be picked up and placed anywhere in the home.

Both units are available now, the HT-CT60 for around £150, the HT-CT260 for around £300.
