I buy this as a second system for my bedroom . I already have a much more expensive reference system in my living room . I be offer a Phillips 9 inch color portable very cheap and think this would go great with it . I spend some time install the speaker around my bed with the front three , subwoofer and monitor on special shelving at the base . I have to admit I be totally blow away with the sound quality and volume possible from this little unit . Norcent should have add adjustable bass and treble control because the bass while impressive on dvd material be too much on CD or on information feed to the input jack . unfortunately my unit develop a problem with intermittent sound output on the right front and surround channel . at first I fiddle with the speaker wire and get the sound back but the problem keep re-occuring so I have have to ship it back to Norcent for repair . the speaker terminal be cheap and nasty and let down a otherwise nice little performer . give that this unit will probably be install in a lot of bedroom and den a headphone socket would be useful for late night use . overall good and , if it have not develop this problem , I would say a incredible value unit . to be honest I have have just as much fun use this as my other system which cost as much as a small car !
