This system is a pre-configured version of the HT Express Pro complete home theater system that has all of the bells and whistles. The HT Express Elite combines the highest performing Mod2 Orb speaker system with your choice of top rated, 700 - 980 watt Denon and Yamaha receivers that have all of the features you want -- 1080p HDMI inputs and outputs, upconversion to HDMI from all video inputs, high power amplification, Ipod and XM compatibility and a fast, east auto setup program that includes a microphone for tuning the system to your room. All you have to do is pick the number of speakers and color that you want and your dream home theater is on its way to you. Denon's newest Blu-Ray player, the DVD-1800BD is also now available with this package. Orb Audio has qualified to become one of the few authorized online dealers for Denon and we are very fortunate to have received this honor. Denon receivers are very well made and they sound fantastic with our speakers. It is with great pleasure that we share our fortune with you and include these receivers and DVD players in our complete systems. And if you are wondering why purchasing from an authorized dealer is important, the answer is quite simple...Denon's warranty only applies to purchases made from authorized dealers. Denon does not provide warranty support for receivers that are purchased from unauthorized dealers. So, when you buy your receiver from Orb Audio, you get Orb Audio support, Denon support and the confidence in knowing that you purchased a brand new, factory sealed product with full U.S. warranty. You also get a free wire and cable package with each purchase (value $59-$110), and we don't charge any extra shipping for the receiver, so we think you'll find that our prices work out to be quite fair. The HT Express Elite is the perfect choice for a high quality, state of the art home theater, and we've put it all together for you. It includes the The Mod2 Home Theater Speaker System, which is our highest performing speaker system. Imagine the richest, fullest sound from small, attractive satellite speakers and our custom Super Eight subwoofer. Our Mod2 satellites are constructed with a custom-designed, elite quality, full-range 3" driver, set in our exclusive 4 3/16" steel sphere enclosures. They are handcrafted in the USA and produce fantastic imaging and detailed, accurate audio reproduction. They are perfectly matched to our Super Eight, and the combination produces an unbeatable listening experience that your ears and eyes will simply not believe. By selling web-direct, we can use higher quality components than other companies and sell our speakers for half the cost or less. There really is no beating this business model, since your money is going into top quality components and craftsmanship, not middlemen and extensive ad campaigns. Receivers The HT Express Elite can be configured with your choice of the best home theater receivers on the market today, the Denon AVR-990 and the Yamaha RX-V1900 and RX-V3900. The system is currently pre-configured with the top rated Yamaha RX-V1900 receiver, which dishes out intense home theater performance and includes all of the features that most people need. The receiver has four high performance 1080p compatible HDMI 1.3a inputs, and features video switching and upconversion to HDMI from ALL video sources (this means you only have to run one HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV). It also features advanced surround processing and has a fast automatic setup program that calibrates the system to your room using an included microphone. Denon AVR-990 This is a great receiver with all of the current state of the art features.

Subwoofers You can configure your system with either of our custom designed audiophile subwoofers, the 200 watt Super Eight and the 300 watt Uber Ten. Both subwoofers offer best in class performance and provide deep, accurate bass that will satisfy the most discerning listener. Like all Orb Audio products, our direct business model allows us to provide more for your money than almost any other brand, and both of these subwoofers outperform similar models that cost twice as much in stores. Forget the muddy, boomy bass that plagues many systems...these subs are clean, deep and accurate and are great for both music and movies. The Super Eight is acoustically matched to our Mod1 and Mod2 satellites and is included in all of our speaker systems. It is the right subwoofer for almost all of our customers, the perfect combination of performance, size and price. In fact, the Super Eight offers the highest possible performance out of a 12 inch cube and has received many rave reviews. It features a high quality 200 watt BASH hybrid amplifier that is conservatively rated to peak at over 400 watts, a super long-throw 8" woofer and a high-power magnet. The Super Eight provides output that is on par with most high quality subwoofers that have much larger cabinets and drivers, and it retains the musicality and tightness that is essential to success (yet lacking in many other systems). The Uber Ten is our answer to your requests over the last few years for a "cost is no object" design. Of course, cost is always important, and we did not ignore it. However, our primary design criteria was high performance, and the Uber Ten will blow your socks off. It features a 300W BASH hybrid amplifier, a proprietary high-excursion 10" driver and it packs all of the punch of much bigger subwoofers. We made the cabinet 1 1/2 inches larger (12" on the Super Eight v. 13.5" on the Uber Ten) for maximum performance while still preserving the compact nature of all Orb products. Anyone can make a deep, high power subwoofer that is great at explosions and not much else, but that just didn't cut it for us. We weren't looking for a sub that was just louder and deeper, we also wanted it to retain the musicality, snappiness and accuracy that made the Super Eight famous. To accomplish this, you basically need world class, audiophile components, and we designed every piece of the Uber Ten in this manner. To be clear, though, the Super Eight is the right subwoofer for at least 90% of our customers. The Uber Ten is purely for those that have the extra budget and desire for bass beyond what is considered normal to most people. If you have an especially large room, or just prefer your bass to be as deep as possible and don't mind the extra 1.5" of cabinet space, consider the Uber Ten. Otherwise, put it out of your mind and go with our first love, the Super Eight. Accessories All home theater systems ship with free attractive matching steel desk stands.
