I be look for a home Theater in a box solution that be minimalist in appearance , without compromise on sound quality or available feature . I try the bose 3-2-1 system and cinemate speaker prior to this . I end up return both the product . for about $ 500 less , Yamaha deliver amazing sound quality in a very small footprint ! I highly recommend this product for apartment dweller or someone who appreciate minimalism . pro : - 3 hdmus input + 1 Analog - solid Build Quality + Yamaha reputation - one-of-a-kind receiver that have a built-in subwoofer - great price & fast shipping on amazon.com CONS : - the speaker bar sometimes block the infrared port on the tv , thereby make it difficult to use the tv remote . -lrb- this be really not a con , as you can dismount the leg to lower the height or position the speaker appropriately -rrb-
