I purchase this after a lot of shop around . this be mean to get some cheap surround sound into my bedroom without hugely intrusive speaker . have over $ 10,0000 vest in my den entertainment center , I be not expect much at this price . I have to say , I be quite impressed . no , it do not compare to my home theater setup , but it do sound very , very good . far better than I expect it to . the sound be clear , you can raise it to a `` decent '' volume -lrb- I would not buy this if you be go to always crank it , because something may go in that case -rrb- , and the speaker be small and non-intrusive . I would recommend this to anyone that be look for a bedroom surround system or someone that will not be blast it at full volume at all time .
