Summary: Devil in the details
Review: We just purchased this for our home, and have had several bad experiences already. I am not basing my comments on sound quality because I believe how good a system sounds depends a lot on where and how you set it up, and what you are trying to do with it. I will say that, while I'm not an audiophile, the sound quality we experience is fine and meets our expectations.The problems we've encountered have been around poor design. First, they placed stickers on the front speakers. These stickers are the celophane kind, and are EXTREMELY difficult to remove. Expend to spend a 20-30 minutes trying to clean stickers off your new speakers and receiver. The second big problem is that the rear speakers are almost impossible to mount on speaker stands. They are tall, narrow, and heavy. Which makes them very unstable as "free standing" or sitting on a mini-shelf type of stand. The mounting screw hole is inset in between two of the lower speaker cones, making it impossible to firmly mount properly in most speaker stands, since the attaching point cannot be screwed in to flush with the speaker. Further, this mounting point is below the center of gravity - making the speakers very top heavy, so they have a tendency to roll over since they cannot be securely fashioned. Finally, if you set the TV's input as the DVD home theater, and set the receiver to use TV audio as input, you get a very nasty buzz from the speakers. I'm not sure if this is typical or if it is a problem with our paticular setup, but it's irritating.
