Great surround from only two speakers and a sub.

Doesn't play some DVD's

This is an awesome little system. It does everything it promised to almost. The only problem I have had with the system is that it doesn't play some DVD video disks. have't figured it out yet.

Bass, fidelity, style, power.

You may want to use bananas to connect the speakers or be pacient.

I had the chance to hear an Onkyo, a Yamaha and my Denon. The bass produced in this system is amazing and has a lot of setup options for it. It only have 2 stelite speakes and a pwd SW. I have a HT, but I wanted something for listening music and be able to hear also my MP3 and WMA files. This Denon makes the music travel thru my house with ease at -20 db and the sound is amazing. I want to mention that I come from $300 to $400 systems (Sony, Onkyo, Kenwood) but wanted something to realy enjoy my music. I don't use it for HT, but for the way it sounds with music, it surely outperforms my $700 SONY HT. It is maybe a little expensive for me to just listen to music, but or someone trying to get a HT in a box with the advantage of really listen to music, you can't go wrong with this.
