I concur with many of the reviews below. This is a fantastic unit with good build quality and features. The remote is usable and the onscreen menus are very helpful. For home theater with all speakers, this unit can't be beat in it's price range. However, for two-channel stereo music, it leave much to be desired. I thought the sound was a little bright and the lack of bass is disturbing. You definitely need a subwoofer for music. If you wish to listen to music at a soft volume, you won't have the luxury of a "loudness" or similar button to punch up the bass. I ended up selling this unit after a week and am buying a Nakamichi AV-8 instead for those reasons. Otherwise, it's a first class unit.
