5.0 out of 5 stars Great HTIB, December 22, 2004

I had low end Samsung HTIB that had horrible sound and the DVD player went bust. Replaced it with this, and the difference is like night and day.

Pros:

Great sound from the surrounds.

Amazing lows from the subwoofer.

Lots of inputs and outputs for a small unit.

DSP modes are outstanding.

Dimmer on the unit display.

Easy on-screen setup after installing.

Short to medium install time (took me about 1.5 hours).

Onkyo quality.

Cons:

Highs a little muddy.

Not the best remote.

Buttons on unit front panel kinda suck.

If you can afford this, buy it for the sound quality and inputs/outputs. When it comes to the HTIB, you really get what you pay for.

This review is from: ONKYO Envision Theater Home Theater Sound System LS-V955 (Electronics)

Went to stores and heard a lot of HTIB systems, especially Sony, Yamahas and out of all those this unit CLEARLY stood out in terms of sound quality and even looks. I tested it to Eileen Farrel (spell), Jethro Tull and Iron Maiden and it retained the sound fidelity even at high volumes. I have bought it now and watched "Hero" on it and the surround was amazing and so was the DVD with very clear picture.

The remote control design isn't bad at all, I have already gotten used to it.

This review is from: ONKYO Envision Theater Home Theater Sound System LS-V955 (Electronics)

Had this for a year, it's been excellent. Couldn't really compare in the stores, too much other noise, so bought it based on reviews like this one. More than enough power, great bass, also we were pleasantly surprised to find the dvd player gives an even better high quality image than our former Panasonic. Easy to understand set up instructions too. Only drawback is that the speaker hookups in the back are kind of close together, especially if you have the fat Monster Cable connectors like we do. Also, the different sound modes are not really explained in the manual, you have to experiment to see what you like. We are happy with this!
