Review 1 of 9
Price Paid:
$270.00
from Krazy Krazy(Canada) Summary:
Had this system for about 8 months and love it. The sound is fantastic, especially in DTS. I've been using an older pair of speakers for the front, gave the others to my Dad, and it still sounds great. The only problem that I do have is that it gets extremly hot. Not sure if there is a cause for concern about it, but have not had any problems with it so far. Strengths:
Price, DTS Decoding, Weaknesses:
Gets very hot!! Similar Products Used:
None

Review 2 of 9
Price Paid:
$400.00
from BEST BUY Summary:
This is a very good entry level system for someone trying to get into hometheater for the first time. The setup is pretty easy and the overall system is cheap. If i am not mistaken, the receiver used in this system is very similar to the Technics sa-dx940. This is a pretty good receiver other than the fact that there are no coax digital inputs. (There are places however that sell coax to optical converters) It puts out alot of heat but as long as it has plenty of breathing room, it should be fine. I also have the sa-dx950 and sa-dx1040. These recivers put out alot of heat also. This just seems like something panasonic/technics recievers are prone to do. Overall a good system. Strengths:
Price, Sound Weaknesses:
Heat from reciever, and NO Coax input. Similar Products Used:
Technics, sa-dx950 and sa-dx1040
