my wife and I pick this one out after look and listen to a lot of comparable . the sound have a fullness and depth that I just do not hear in any other compact home theater system under $ 500 . Hookup take less time than I expect ; however , you will need to purchase additional speaker wire ... the supply wire be just too short . -lrb- you do not necessarily need to buy monster cable -rrb- the plus side of the sound quality outweigh the negative of a rather slow disc changer\/reader . and watch a dvd in Dolby ProLogicII be a excellent experience . the sacd format be also fantastic whether you be listen to dark side of the Moon -lrb- a absolute must with sacd -rrb- or the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra -lrb- try Mahler 's Resurrection Symphony -rrb- . again , it be a perfect home theater system for the price .
