I have no complaint with the quality of this system . it sound great and the disc-changer be extremely quiet and fast compare to other . one word of caution : the satellite speaker be a bit larger than I expect . you can not tell it from the pic on this site , but without the stand each one be approximately the same height as the subwoofer . and do not assume that the elongate design make they any less bulky . they be still just as wide and deep as other satellite , only twice as tall . I start out with all four speaker on the stand provide and feel that they look ridiculous in my average size living room . the stand be silver plastic , have a large plastic base , and be not very thin . I end up wall-mounting the two rear speaker and buy skinnier metal stand for the front satellite . I could not be happier with the outcome .
