This system is AWESOME!
I did a lot of research on HTIB systems before I decided on this one. It is really high end quality at an affordable price. The sound quality is exceptional, the separation is exceptional, the powered sub-woofer is very powerful, the connectivity beats all other HTIB systems that I reviewed, save that I wish they had HDMI connections.
The price is unbeatable for this kind of sound. The remote control is a bit “clunky” but then aren’t most “universal” remotes!? Free shipping for the three boxes (110 lbs.) adds even more value. I am “WOW-ED” by the system every time I sit down to enjoy a movie, HD television, or even just the radio! I would recommend this system to anyone that wants to have an outstanding home theater experience.
BTW, I’m pretty certain it is a “Sherwood” receiver/amp. The speakers are the EG5000 series. Check out this link:

All I can say is this system is great! Delivery was quick and installation was easy. The speakers have a good slick look to them and a real solid feel. Very heavy duty speakers. I’m very impressed with the sound quality, clear, crisp, and louddddd. The receiver gives you plenty of surround sound features to choose from, so if you don’t like one sound option, I’m sure there is another you will. Very good quality for the price you pay. You definitely get your bang for your buck with this system.
I would recommend this system to anyone. I did a lot of research trying to find the perfect surround sound system, and this is the one.
Warning: This system may be to loud for small living rooms, you’ve been warned!!!

This is a great system and I couldn’t believe the price. And free shipping too! I bought this for my husband because his buddy bought it from best buy for a lot more, like $900, and he has always drooled this surround sound system. I have to admit that I think it sounds really good myself. You can’t hear that normal static noise with these speakers. I found this video on YouTube that describes the system pretty well.

I would definitely recommend this system to anyone who wants a home theater system. I can’t wait for my husband to open it up for Christmas.

I have been shopping for a long time for a home theater system. I have auditioned a lot of systems between $500 and $1500. Hands down this systems sound quality and performance easily outperformed even the $1500 systems I listened to including Bose,Sony and Klipsch. The clarity of the ribbon tweeters is especially impressive. I hooked this system up to my Panasonic blu ray player and watched Batman the Dark Night, and all I can say was wow! Ladies and gentleman you definitely get your money’s worth with this system ! I was also really suprised that this was free freight, the system comes in three boxes that weight over 110 pounds ! The Bose system I was looking at weighed only 30 pounds. The freight alone must of cost a bundle. Could not be happier, would buy again.

….. cause I didn’t believe it either.
Quincy Jones + Studio Level speaker mfgr = quality I didn’t expect at a value I could never get through normal channels. I’m not an audiophile, but these create a better sound space than my local movie theater. I didn’t plan to add surround sound to my flat-screen till I found these, but now I actually look forward to sitting down to the sound as much as the picture with my new flat screen. For the first few weeks, we turned around on several occassions thinking someone might be in the house, when we heard a particularly clear back noise. It was eerie.
On the older silver line set that I own, lab analysis shows a nice, even sound across all bandwidths except for a narrow drop off just below the voice range. When I first bought these I thought I could hear that difference playing the same song back and forth with my home audio system. Now I don’t hear it, but I think I’ve just gotten used to it. Of course my home audio system can’t touch the clean simplicity of the highs on ribbon technology speakers.
As a point of comparison, when I sit in the comfy leather chair at Best-Buy to watch their top of the line set up, the sound is a little bit richer and beefier than this set up will deliver. Still, these aren’t toys themselves. At 110 pounds there’s a lot of mass in speaker magnets. When I come home to this I’m very satisfied with this sound. It’s way beyond the cheese-factor of a typical home theater in a box, conveys movie sound tracks and football games well enough to entrance (too well – I’ve gained 20 pounds) and the sense of things moving in space is believable and real. For me it’s clear enough that I’ve saved hundreds on movies I now watch at home instead of in the theater.
I think the way they can do this so cheaply is by not chasing the most recent audio format/standard on the receiver. You’ll notice Dolby doesn’t say “Dolby-HD.” Note too that there’s no built disc player, etc. Just sound stuff: a tuner and an amplifier. To my ears the quality of these speakers contributes a lot more than anything in the latest DTS or Dolby standard and, with good speakers, I can’t tell the difference. If your ears can tell the difference delivered by the most recent standards you may want to upgrade the receiver at some point and keep the speakers, or you may be able to hear things I can’t and need to be shopping in the 3-5k range. I love mine just as it is. They clearly have found an affordable way to harness ribbon technology too. I remember in the 80′s giant ribbon tech speakers were ultra high-end.
Note too that there is no HDMI pass-through connection on the back. That may be a deal breaker for some, it works fine for me. I just connect the optical port out of my TV to the optical in on this receiver. So, for blu-ray discs my BD player connects directly to the TV with HDMI and the TV connects to this receiver via optical. Works for me. The lack of HDMI pass through is probably another way they managed to kept the cost this low.
I had trouble believing you could get sound this good at this cost. If I hadn’t found the audio response data, I would have assumed the positive reviewers just didn’t know sound. I took a risk and was well rewarded. I’m no audiophile myself but my sense is I could get this quality, more connections, and maybe a little more volume if I were willing to spend about $2k on something else.
Hope that helps.
