Reception.
"CNET" noted the audio quality as outstanding but the upconverting video quality as mediocre. "Sound & Vision" wrote: "Although this product won’t win any awards for fancy aesthetics, you can close your eyes and imagine that you’re listening to something more powerful and better balanced than the price tag indicates." "What Hi-Fi?" summarized: "This system offers a heck of a lot for the money, but the overall sound delivery is too much of a compromise". "Audioholics" wrote: "If you have a lot of sources, and audio quality is your driving factor (isn't it always?) this may be the perfect system for you."
