This Philips surround sound system is truly the ONLY good audio package in a box. The included speakers offer superb clarity and reproduction given their dimunitve size. The best part of this system is you can get all the power and clarity of Dolby Digital Surround Sound for around 300 dollars. It sounds great in stereo too. The subwoofer included makes up for the small speakers bass handicap. I bought some JBL N28 speakers to replace the front speakers and it REALLY ROCKS. There is no other system on the market with better value or sound under 500 dollars.(Other than the Philips 550 watt version of this, 350 is plenty for my house but some may want the extra power for bigger rooms).

This is a decent entry level unit. This surround sound system is o.k. with the satellite speakers I would recomend that you get some decent floor speakers and a different set of satellite surround speakers, and sell the ones it comes with. The satellite speakers that it comes with are sh.tty only the center channel is worth keeping. With the whole new speaker setup you get alot more power. The reciever with the new speaker setup gives you enough power to not even have a subwoofer.Any Philips package you get will be even nicer with floor speakers and different surround speakers. Subwoofer is not a necesity with powerful floorspeakers. Surprising power for a 5x60 watt reciever.
