"Was expecting more power"
Pros: functional... everything connected through receiver
Cons: not enough power
Summary: I started out with ONKYO and switched to Sony for it?s bells and whistles. I reverted back to ONKYO to regain the robust sound Onkyo provides. I was on the market for a home theater system to accompany my Samsung LST4671F and after reading the specs and the consumer reviews, I made my decision. I chose the HT-SP908 which upconverts up to 1080P which I thought was good.
When I got it, set it up, I could not get sound. I raised the volume up to 50 before I heard anything. 70 is standard and it only goes to 100. I thought this was pretty low in power. I thought the system was defected. The sound is clear and you have minimal control over the subwoofer. I called customer service and found out that that is just the way it is.
I know I can get a more powerful system but I know that I would have to build it and pay triple the amount.
Overall I?ll deal with it.. It?s perfect for my bedroom because in honesty, how loud do you want it to go, but I like to have that option.
Am I settling?Updated
OK? I?m revisiting my user opinion. I love this system. It?s clean, and that one switch action per input totally works for me. The sound is perfect for my bedroom. I watch movies and the sound puts you right there in the middle of the action. PS3 is also amazing. Everything runs through the receiver and the sound and clarity of the images are astounding. The DVD player I don?t use anymore because it is slow and it takes to long to rev up. By the time it?s up and ready to play, I?m over my desire to watch a movie. Overall I am pleased and glad I have it?
