I'm not an expert, to put it mildly, on all this audio-fily stuff. But thanks to this site, some research, and a love for quality anything, i'm getting better. I listen to alot of music, from Toots and the Maytals, Bob and his Wailers, to Maude-style ska. This whole setup has really impressed me, for 500 buks its a hell of a deal. The sub supports the low end well, and the left/rights are really clear and detailed. Its also got some juice, at 100 watts L/R. Only complaint is of the low-end surround and center speakers, which I was advised not to use for music anyway.
