I like this system because I can listen to AM and FM as well as home theater sound . I already have a very nice GoVideo DVD\/VHS so I do not need the extra dvd player . the receiver be kind of tall but the direction be straight forward . sound be excellent . great value for the money and a name brand . if all this could be deliver with less spaghetti style wiring out the back I would be happier . you need to order wall bracket for the speaker -lrb- cost $ 25-50 per pair , you 'll need 2 pair for a total of 4 bracket -rrb-
