Des, Ballygowan

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Blends in well with any black TV. Extremely effective and sound is superb. In fact I could not believe how well it performs and the difference it makes to watching movies. The USB connection works really well and means I can stick a movie on a USB stick and watch it without burning a disk. The leasd to the speakers are colour coded making it easy to correctly wire up. I have already recommended this to friends. It has everything - value for money and very effective.
Bad points:: The wiring up was made more difficult by not having an optical lead. Had to buy one which meant waiting for delivery before using the surround sound. The rear speaker leads are a bit short which meant that instead of going round the edge of the carpet I had to lift the carpet and run the leads across the middle of the floor. Initially put the middle speaker bar in front of the TV but this stopped the TV responding to the remote. Moved it down to a lower level and TV works and the sound is the same. Still have to sort out a mounting system for the front speakers.
