I bought this for my dorm room. I have Infinity Alpha 20s as main stereo speakers and a Yamaha SW215 subwoofer hooked up to it. I have an iPod running through the analog inputs and an Onkyo CD player through the optical input. Sound quality is great for this price range. I can't comment on its home theater performance, since I'm only using three speakers, but its stereo performance is above par. As usual, the build quality is excellent. This has been my experience with every Sony product I've owned. When I finally get a job and my own place, I will invest in a good home theater receiver, such as a Harman Kardon or high-end Onkyo. Until then, however, this gem works just fine.
