Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $400.00 from Comp Usa

Summary:
After doing a great amount and very extensive searching and testing systems at stores and shops, I decided to go with this system because it was cheap, sounded great, and was very sleak and compact looking. When I put this system in and started it I was very impressed, but when figured out the audio settings I was nothing short of being blown away. This system is set up in my 12 x 12 bedroom and sounds unbelievable. I would not suggest this system for a bigger room but if your looking to put it in a bedroom or a office I would highly reccomend this system. Very powerful sound, very minimal distortion, if any at all, and very easy to put together and setup. The DVD player is very good for this system, I hooked it up using component video cables and it looks great. One thing I must reccomend is upgrading the speaker cable on this system. It comes with a super low grade 22 guage speaker wire that could be used as floss. I got Monster XP 16 guage white cables and wow, I could not tell you how big of a difference it made. The system sounded good before, but with the monster cable, I was beyond impressed. The only thing that dissapointed me very much was how the wire going into the subwoofer is a set wire that cannot be changed unless you feel like busting open the sub. I just left it alone. I would definitely reccomend this system to all who are looking at a high quality system for cheap.

Strengths:
Great Powerful Sound, DVD picture quality, ease of use, and its sleak look.

Weaknesses:
Only one audio cable input, no digital or optical audio in. Semi-slow loading times for cd's and dvds. Unable to switch subwoofer cables.

Similar Products Used:
Get some good speaker wire and video cables.
