Many many options ; This is a jack of all systems ; Handles it all from Gaming, Classical, Heavy Metal, to Star Wars: New Hope on a soft note ; If you want to get the maximum for the minimum dollar this is the best ; See cons

If you are a die hard audiophile you will like this but if you really need serious power I would recommend the next level up. System has a nice smooth system for those that enjoy the quality but if you want some serious SPL or harder bass I would not...

Every time you buy something new, there are "surprises?" Well, no exception here - except that all of the surprises have been good news! I love the connectivity to both the internet and my own music/video/picture libs on my PCs. Pandora has been...

Might be an issue for some - no wi-fi. But my house is completely wired and I prefer the performance of hard-wired anyway ; The on-screen navigation when connected to a PC in your home network is a little clumsy through the remote. A little k/b would...

Tiny gripe that may even have a work around. The receiver throws up a stock screen of a piano when the source selected is not driving the input actively. So for instance, if you have selected your BluRay player but haven't turned it on yet, the...

Wow, this unit looks to be well built and heavy. So many options, it's a bit of an overkill for what I need. Using this to power a sub and rears and klipsh speakers. The sound is amazing. Tons of HDMI inputs for all your devices. I have everything...
