My first positive review on amazon, only because I generally dont have anything to say about the good things I buy on amazon but I am so impressed with this piece of equipment I feel compelled to say just how good it is. After major disappointment with other 5.1 surround sound systems such as logitech equipment I decided I had to go for separates. I mainly wanted it to use with my LCD TV and to plug my laptop and xbox360 for surround sound for games and dvds and stereo for mp3’s. This amp does it all fantastically!
The only word that comes to mind when thinking how to describe this amp is Beautiful, a perfectly natural sound (not to much bass) with a good set of surround sound speakers it fills the room with a wall of natural sound. You can change just about every setting you wish from individual speaker loudness, to stereo – surround sound and so much more, i recommend you google this model for a downloadable pdf instruction manual for more detail on settings. Just about anything you want to connect to this amp, it has a connection option for, i wouldn’t be surprised if you could connect your fridge too it. My speakers have 20cm woofers on them and I dont like to much bass so I don’t have a sub – woofer attached which I guess might give more bass if required. It does have alot of settings and I am still learning how to configure it to perfect my listening pleasure, but it only takes 15 – 20 mins to setup and watch tv/listen to music.
The only thing I can criticise this amp on is that the sound is so brilliant and awesome that it can distract you from pictures of the movie on the tv/dvd you are watching at the time. My only regret is I wish I lived in America because this very same amp is half the price of the UK model! But even at UK prices it is a bargain
In all a beautiful piece of equipment which I cant fault would recommend to anyone.

This is a well built and good sounding receiver, after connecting up i was delighted with the result. I was so pleased with the product that a week later i bought a Yamaha subwoofer which is another good product, well done Yamaha
