beautiful sound. It really fills the room! The microphone that it comes with does an amazing job of analyzing the room and making adjustments within 10 minutes to center the sound. This has got to be one of the best receivers I've heard for this price.

I would definitely recommend this receiver to any friend looking for a new one.
