It's a very nice sounding system, though the bass is a bit weak and sounds muffled from time to time if you turn it up. The control until has connector for a powered subwoofer, should you choose to add one later. It has 4 sound settings, but 4point is the only one I use, as it sounds the best to me, no matter what I am using it for, except for DVD's, which obviously I use AC3 then.
