Sound Quality You Won't Believe

Pros: Small Size, Big Sound, Easy to Configure

Cons: Ports not easily accessible

This is such a great system. The speakers are small so they do not take up much space, but still deliver amazing sound. The integration with S-AIR technology, makes this a must have! The only issue are the ports are located on the underside of the Receiver/Sub. Which makes it difficult to access and organize wires as you have to flip over the entire reciever. There is not a lot of clearance for the HDMI cables connections, which can sometimes cause them to be pushed a bit, and cause temporary issue with the connection. Overall, it is well worth the value and the small frustration upon intially hookiing up the system. If you are looking to constantly change your connections, this may not be the system for you. I would recommend this to any of my friends, but I don't need to as they are always impressed by them when they see and hear them.

Very Happy with Output for Size.

Pros: Size of speakers (golfball), Setup and plugging everything in, wireless speaker option for back 2, great output for size

Cons: Display face is on top (facing ceiling),

The speakers are TINY but deliver good sound; they also come with wall mounts. The Sub is good as well--nice bass. Be sure to point the controller at the IR receiver on the front speaker, or you will wonder why the volume never changes (sounds stupid but you don't really think about it with other setups). A couple of things that bother me: you can't see the volume changing (on screen) and it is on top of the receiver...if you can see that the words are changing you can tell (via movement of the words or just listening) it shouldn't be a problem. I chose this because I have a PS3, and I wanted lossless quality audio. I have it hooked to my FIOS box as well. The iPod dock is pretty nice feature; however, there is no headphone jack ANYWHERE on the thing...so if you live with a lot of roommates, be prepared to turn it down a lot at night (really packs a punch--honestly). The iPod dock uses DMPORT and shows directly on your television, much in the fashion of an iPod--very nice. Overall, I have been very happy with it. I wish I had a Sony TV so that all of the special Bravia functions on the controller could be used...as far as I know you are stuck with the controller, so I have a FIOS controller, a Receiver Controller, and a PS3 Controller (Remote or Gamepad) around when I need to do things--gets somewhat annoying..especially because Sony PS3 Remote and Sony Receiver remote are very similar. However, I haven't really tried to use the universal function of my FIOS remote to program to the receiver--just too lazy I guess. I toyed with the idea of building my own speaker system for a while, but for this price and the size of the speakers (I currently have it hooked up in my room/office, but it would be nice for a living room as well), I am very happy. You get everything at once for a set price, all from the same company, which makes it much easier. I am the type of person who will take a reduction in quality for neatness and cleaner setup. I understand that some speakers are a lot nicer, but to me, many setups are way too huge to fit properly in the space I need them in. These are the size of golfballs--lots of speaker wire on back R and L. They may not be optimal for a theater setup (I believe they are, but some audiophiles will protest), but they definitely meet my needs in a moderate sized apartment/home.

Surprisingly Big Sound

Pros: tiny speakers, easy setup, lots of features

Cons: input access is somewhat difficult

I was pleasantly surprised by these speakers. I was looking for a speaker system that was low profile but had good sound, and these have GREAT sound. The subwoofer is powerful and the Bravia Sync feature is perfect. No longer do I need 4 remotes to start watching a movie! It was a bit expensive, but worth it. The speakers are smaller than a golf ball, but sound like they are ten times bigger. Why spend so much on a low profile television just to crowd the room with massive speakers?

great system for the space conscious

Pros: SIZE AND SOUND

Cons: SUB WOOFER DISPLAY DESIGNED TO FACE UPWARDS AND OUT OF VIEW!

I researched and purchased multiple systmes. This by far is the best system for the money! Though the speakers are small the sound is huge! The only draw back is the sub-woofer's display is on the top, making it impossible to read when using the remote. I placed the sub so the display is facing the couch and it sound the same. The speakers are super light, but I mounted mine on the wall with the brackets provided! If you already have a blue ray, this is the perfect system for the average to small livingroom!

NOTHING BUT THE BEST FROM SONY!

Pros: SMALL SPEAKERS AND NO DVD PLAYER

Cons: NONE!!!!!!!!!!!

iF YOU ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT A SYSTEM STOP LOOKING THIS IS IT. NO MORE BIG BULKY SPEAKERS, THE SPEAKERS ARE SMALL BUT VERY POWERFULL. I LOOKED AROUND FOR MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM AND IT WAS WORT EVERY PENNY.

not happy

Cons: i would not buy it

would not buy it again. doesn't play dvd and it was only used 3 times. the box is to sensitive

confused

Pros: small speakers

Cons: display facing wrong direction, speakers need more weight

I bought this system about a week ago. I don't understand why the display on the woofer is facing the ceiling. It should be facing the viewer. The speakers being small are great; however they are too lightweight. Each speaker needs some kinda of anchor weight. These speakers are so light that the speaker wire can cause the speaker to move left or right. (ugh) I'm still evaluating the system.
