This was one of the few systems I found that had multiple HDMI inputs and 1080p support that did not include a DVD. (I didn't want one so I could use my PS3 and another DVD player I already had.)And the price was right. I spliced in better speaker wire to the proprietary speaker connectors. Auto cal is a nice feature and it sounds great in my room. After 3 days it meets my expectations just fine. And the price was right. Read more

I just picked one of these up for our small family room off of our kitchen. I needed something small as space is tight. Overall, I am pretty impressed with the system considering the price. The sound isnt outstanding but not bad for a $320 system and the connectivity is pretty nice. Hooked everything up quickly and had no HDMI syncing problems at all. Sound isnt as crisp as a more expensive system and it is underpowered but for the price it gives me what I need. I did pair this with some better speakers from an older Sony HTIB and the sound is better. I had to splice the wires due to the proprietary connection but it was worth it. Sound is a bit better than the tiny included speakers but not much.

If I could change anything on this I would: (1) give it more power, at least a 6ohm system, (2) give it a powered sub, and (3) add TrueHD and DTS-MA support. I would have happily paid another $300-400 for these features and I expect to see all of these things standard on high end HTIBs in the next 2 years. Read more
