I have own this system for a year and I have have no problem with it . I not a audiophile at all but to I it sound phenomenal . its probably a lot more powerful than I need since I live in a small apartment but its better than not have enough power . dvd work and look great . also my wife really like the appearance . my one criticism which be really too small to affect my 5 star rating be the way the disc load mechanism work . it take a while to eject and load each of the 5 disc . I have not time it but it seem to take longer than what you be use to -lrb- 6 or 7 seconds maybe -rrb- . although it be a small thing , when you be try to quickly find a disc in one of the 5 tray its a little annoying .
