The Bottom Line:
Want a impressive looking system that is both affordable and sounds good? This is it!
The system is packaged in a 35kg box that will fit behind a truck or the first seat of a larger coupe. First of all, it only took 30 minutes to setup this system. The speaker wires are color-coded to the speaker and the receiver. Under the speaker stands states where each speaker should be stationed. The subwoofer can be stationed anywhere but I would suggest you place the sub somewhere close to your couch potato seat to get the full effect of the weak sub. The wiring should be long enough. The most differentiated feature of this system is obviously the standing surround speakers. With this system, you don't need to drill fixed holes on your beautiful plywood walls or fork out extra cash to get additional speaker stands.
As for the system itself, the four aluminum polished-look tower speakers would be a complement to any living room. In addition, the receiver is relatively compact. In fact, it is smaller than my Toshiba and Sony VCR. It also has a silver look with glass LED and DVD tray opening. You have to give a pat in the back to the design department of Sony to fit 5 DVD changing ability into this compact box. The remote is one of the better looking remotes from Sony. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the indigo look. The remote can only control your TV and the system itself.
The coolest thing for this system is SACD. Who cares if you don't have or can't afford SACD. One day when you come across one, you can say, "heh, my DVD player is compatible of playing those discs." FYI, the cheapest SACD player from Sony is MSRP at $350! Even some DVD players cost less than that these days.
The biggest downside of this system is that it has only 2 inputs. The suggestion is hook up a quality VCR & you will gian 2-3 extra inputs from the VCR unit. Also by hooking up to the VCR, it will prevent your parents from playing with your PS2 or XBox. :)
