buy the system in early 2011 ... obvious , this be a `` while supplies last '' as sl be no longer make home audio equipment . the system come with everything...av-rec , 5 speaker and a sub woofer , cable , and speaker stand . the speaker be really outstanding . first , these speaker be very well build and very sturdy . they can be floor\/shelf speaker with stand or flush mount on the wall . most important , these speaker sound great . very clear and excellent high and mid range sound and decent base even without the sub woofer . definately the best part of the deal be these speaker . I do not have a huge amount of experience with sub-woofer , but this one seem to be pretty good . I have very little doubt that there be better one out there , but this one produce more than enough clear and accurate base for my 16 x 18 foot room . the av receiver do not have hdmus connection , which be a drawback and now be about 6 year old . but the quality of the sound be outstanding ... have optical connection -lrb- 2 -rrb- , coaxial optical , component and rca connection , etc. . . plenty of option if hdmus be not essential . I will upgrade the receiver in a year or two . con ... older receiver w\/no hdmus . speaker be not true surround ... all five be identical -lrb- but sound great -rrb- .
