Decent stereo

I didn't like the small bookshelf speakers for the front speakers. I replaced them with Yamaha NS-6490. This greatly improved the sound quality.

This is a great sound system

I use this for my movies ps4 and playing music. Everything about this system is perfect. The best part I think it's the Bluetooth and how it turns on automatically if you sync up. The bass is really deep and so clear doesn't over power the audio of the other speakers either.

Listen to music rom radio stations or CD's would like to get it connected to Sirrus in the future. I also need a detailed user's guide that explains things to figure out all the options it has.

Look no further for home theatre system

Bought to listen to music, watch movies and game with. Tested with a hearty instrumental prog metal with two bass players and the bass on the sw is awesome, can clearly hear the slaps. Sounds nice for dynamic gaming.

Great System

Our living room is almost a perfect 18 foot cube. I mounted the from left and right along with the rear left and right speakers for this system at about 10 feet high. The room is filled with incredible sounds.

Old School - Reliable

I have tried a couple of sound bars and have been very disappointed. They do serve a purpose but this system is the best value for the sound. I am very pleased with this system and should have purchased it years ago.

This unit offers great bang for the buck.

I needed a turnkey surround sound solution, and this Yamaha unit defied expectations. For less than the cost of a Playstation, I was able to get digital surround sound in one convenient package. Setup was fantastic, and while the speakers are pretty non-assuming, they are great sound quality and complement the entire setup with no gaps in sound.

The included AV receiver, designed with a focus on achieving high clarity sound, employs a discrete amp configuration and a low-jitter PLL circuit, contributing to its superior audio performance.
