the ht900 be a very good system for the price . I be originally go to buy the system in a retail store but come here since it be a hundred dollar cheaper than national chain store and no tax . I listen to other system in the store but nothing could compare to the ht900 for the price .  the system take about two hour to set up -lrb- assembly and placement -rrb- but all that move and effort be worth it . the sound be pretty good with very good bass from the powerful subwoofer\/amplifier . it may be a bit confusing for new user to understand the feature available to they but most can understand the instruction very easily . only con I can see right now be the lack of more disc support in the player . dvd+r \/ w and dvd-rw would have be nice instead of just the Panasonic support format of dvd-r and the die dvd-ram .  overall , this be a good system and I would recommend it . you can not find anything else with the same sound quality and feature set for the price tag of $ 400 . it look pretty darn spiffy as well .
