Performance, Performance, Performance, do i really have to keep going!

Its like a drug, i just have to keep buying more and more dvd''s especially DTS ones, i need em man

My first dvd i tried was the opening scene from saving private ryan, volume up, the whistle blows for launch and the first bullet fires, WOW! play this to anyone who wants a demo before buying and thats all they need to hear to be convinced. I would say you would have to pay at least triple the price to get a system that is clearly superior. The person who said the sub distorts deep bass must have a faulty sub.

Ability to decode sound formats upto DTS for such a good price. The satelites themselves are very powerful despite their size and also have good bass reproduction without the sub. Inputs include: Analog, Coxial, and Optical. Very good for stereo use aswell. Individual volume control and test tone for all speakers is also avaliable.

Sub distorts at extreemly low frequencies which is common in AC3 and DTS films. Centre speaker also has a slight distortion with certain frequencies. Missing earphone port for earphone use.

Overall the Digitheatre DTS is pretty good for music and home cinema use. However if you're a person who likes power in your low frequencies or have sat in a proper home theatre set-up, these speakers aren't for you. They can provide incredible highs but I must stress the lows as they really spoil the movie the hear such a huge rattle from the sub.

Excellent sound quality, compact sound, brilliant subwoofer

No dual-analogue input for stereo x2, no headphone

I don't know about distortion problems at low frequency, I haven't experienced any at all! Perhaps the previous reviewer had a faulty unit or had it misplaced, but I don't get any distortion at all.
These speakers fill my living room with brilliant surroundsound for movies, you can hear the difference between dolby digital and DTS quite clearly, and while music doesn't work in stereo x2 it still sounds great in stereo.

Highly recommended as an alternative to a cheap sony or jvc 5.1 setup for surroundsound, you basically have to spend 2-3x as much to get something equal/better from a small surroundound system and even then it might not be significantly better.
