I bought this system about three weeks ago and I have to say I am very pleased with my purchase. For the price I paid, I could not go wrong. I did a lot of research and I was looking for a nice surround sound with speaker and sub for a decent price. I hit the mark with this system! I paid $244.00 for this system and the day after I purchased it the price went up to $399! It was all that I could ask for in a surround sound system for that price! It is a 600 watt system (each speaker is 100 watts). I have a smaller living room so once I ran the cables in the walls and mounted the speakers, the sound engulfs you and you feel like you are part of any movie that you watch. The speakers are very sleek and are on the small size, which is what I wanted. I did not want to mount huge speakers next to my flat screen TV. They look awesome. The sub is passive so you don't have a power cable for the device, which is what I like. It comes with an ASC mic so it auto calibrates the sound output, but to be honest, I went in and tweaked the output to my desires as I wanted the rear speakers to be a bit louder. It also comes with an iPod dock, which I have yet to use, but will eventually. This is also a 3D pass through device which was a need since I own a Samsung 51" 3D Plasma TV and a PlayStation 3. I have yet to try the 3D capabilities as I just purchased the 3D TV, but that will happen soon. All in all I think this was a great purchase at the price I paid. Would I have paid $399 for this system, hmmm, maybe and maybe not? I would have to compare what this offers to similar devices at the same price...and at this point I am done doing research :-) All I know is that I couldn't pass it up for $244.00!
The only negatives for this system are the speaker wires it comes with are flimsy, so do yourself a favor like I did and purchase better speaker wires. Believe me it is worth it for the 15 bucks. I tested the system with the cables included and then with 16 gauge wires I bought and the difference is night and day!
Also, the system doesn't appear to operate in standby, not a big deal to me, but someone may want this feature.
The last negative for this product is that it doesn't seem to have a remote code for my Comcast remote control, which means I have to use the remote control that came with it to turn the system on and off and to toggle the inputs. This is not fun, but it's not a deal breaker for the price.
Hope this helps and happy hunting.
I've had this product for almost a month and very happy with the purchase. My set-up: 46" Samsung LCD, cable box and PS3 system. Speakers are ceiling-mounted and am using thick gauge speaker wire (not the stock wires).
The unit itself is pretty easy to set up and calibrate; it can auto-calibrate sound level/distance using the included mic or you can adjust manually. Not an expert but it has the common audio processing formats (Dobly, DTS, etc..) and has cool up-converting features (eg. 2-channel to 5.1, 5.1 to 7.1, etc.). also, a menu screen pops up on your tv so that makes setup easier. the hardest thing is learning what all the features do, haha.
Sound quality is very good; has good depth and the bass is definitely there but it could use a bit more crispness in the treble range. I installed my system in 15'x17' room and the 100watts/channel is MORE than adequate as it gets pretty loud. It also has 3D sound but I haven't really used this feature so can't provide feedback.
Some bad/annoying things are the iPod player and "built-in Wifi." It comes with an iPod dock but you can't choose what to play on the iPod as the screen is unusable when plugged. Still looking into this issue but maybe its just me. Also, Samsung's website says it has built-in WiFi but there's no mention in the owner manual or anyway to config/access in the actual unit. Haven't found any info on this yet either.
I'm very happy with the purchase and it gets 4-stars cause i purchased for less than $250! For what I paid, i got everything i needed plus ALOT of added features and extra perks. If it would've cost more than $300, then its in the 3-star range. Overall, if you're looking for solid, mid-level theater system then this will likely meet your needs.
