"I need to tell you about the bad - the speakers"
Pros: Receiver is solid and performs well
Cons: speakers, owners manuel
Summary: I have had this unit for two months now. I did all the reasearch and everyone (excluding one person I believe) loved this unit. While I do like the receiver and have no complaints about it (though it does seem a little underpowered) the problem lies with the speakers. They have no highs and are not bright at all. I needed to go into each channel and increase the output on the higher frequency ranges. That helped. Then I replaced the main Right and Left speakers with better speakers which I had around. That helped alot.
I am still happy I bought it. But if I had it to do over again I would spend even more time on research and get the receiver by itself and look into different speakers. I live three hours from the store I bought it at - otherwise I would have returned the unit and done so. After spending many hours fine tuning it I was not up for going through the "buying" experience again.
