Home Cinema Choice has got a look at the prototypes for the THE 9 Series, and was told that the range was a completely new project.

"This is not an existing Samsung home theatre system with a high-grade cosmetic finish," marketing chief Russell Owens told HCC.

"THE 9 series is new from the ground up and is built from the finest components available. This is class leading home entertainment technology.

"This puts us in a position that no other consumer electronics company can match," he added.

"Only Samsung can produce cutting edge electronics with leading edge design in this way. Going forward THE 9 series will represent the best of the best."

"The undeniably beautiful sound system comprises four tall boy speakers, a horizontal centre and two smaller height speakers," says HCC.

"The electronics, housed in the subwoofer, features Dolby Pro-Logic 11Z sound processing. The pedestal Blu-ray player loads discs in from a slot in the right hand side. "
