Mediocre:
It's meant to be small and discrete, yet the subwoofer is enormous. It isn't that hard to setup and the booming sound is fine for me as a nonaudiophile. However, if you have a 1080p HDTV, the DVD playback will look amazingly poor. It's great if you got the freebie deal that Best Buy had going, but think twice before shelling out the $ on this thing.

Wonderful:
Though it took a while for me to figure out how to get DVDs to play full screen (thanks to the other reviewer who mentioned about setting the screen resolution 1080!), I love this system. The tiny, discrete speakers give full, clear, robust sound for both music and DVDs. I purchased the system at Best Buy and had them install it, I find that the realistic sounds add so much to the movies and music sounds wonderful.

Great Price..great little system:
Not loud enough, but for 289 and sams club...how can you go wrong. Getting my ps3 hooked up through HDMI was a pain to figure out, had to use two HDMI ports on my TV. But all in all, a good purchase for the price.

Good system and good sound...:
I looked at this system at local Costco couple of months ago. I liked it and it met my specs. But, one thing stopped me was the price. Then, last week, local Frys had listed it on sale for $300. I couldn't pass this up. And, I must say I was not disappointed. Installation was simple and easy. The speakers were tiny than I expected. They produce very good sound and fill the up living room. There are not lot of input options, but the existing one are sufficient enough for my needs: I use the optical input from my HDDVD player and co-axial digital input from Dish receiver. I don't have an i-pod, but I have to check if I can use this connection for some other devices. Upconversion is pretty good (but not as good as my Toshiba). It looks like the upconversion works only if you use HDMI cable to connect your TV. It is worth the price. It is perfect, if you want a small but good surround sound.

Excellent if you value looks and aren't an audiophile:
The system is sleek, the speakers don't stick out and dominate the room like many in many other systems. Despite their size, the sound is alright. My living room is approximately 4x6m, and the speakers fill the room with movie sounds. At low volume levels the dialogue is maybe too low, but as I said, the volume can be adjusted high enough to be loud enough and even too loud in my living room. Overall, I think these speakers are perfect for at least a 4x6m living room. If you don't care about looks, you could probably get the same quality for less money. If you want perfect sound quality, you can get better quality for the same money. To a regular person this system sounds great, and looks great.
