just unboxed this - so far love this system . contrary to other review , you can replace the speaker quite easily , the speakerwire into the unit be a proprietary clip , but the speakerwire into the speaker be just bare wire with a basic clip so you can just use that end to connect to you exist speaker . the only glitch we have run into be streaming Hulu - for some reason this unit will not let we downgrade to standard defn streaming and as a result , Hulu do not stream well . -lrb- we use a PS3 for Hulu and it work great in the same location on standard definition -rrb-
