i think the rear speakers are weak.. 20 W..

I paid 199 for a Philips Magnovox system at circuit city (right now 299 - 30 MIR) about a week or so back.

I think that is a better system than the Yamaha, even though "we" are yet to set it up. Thinking sometime after thanksgiving I will set her up.

i think yamaha certainly rates them more conservatively than most. you can walk into radio shack and find speakers rated at 100 watts for 10 bux a pair (little table top speakers), doesnt mean they can actually handle it without distortion. the cone size in the rears is 5", which is about the right size for setups like this. i still think its a good starter set, but i dont know much about the head unit or the subwoofer.

Good entry-level home theater in a box setup for a small room- the speakers will suffice until the buyer can upgrade later on. Bump!
