Before buying this product, I listened to this and some Samsung systems. Thought this one was 'good'. It has a really thin sound. My Panasonic 50" tv speaker was better sounding than these speakers. My main issue with the system is the poor sound quality.
I've set up plenty of systems previously and and am technically savvy. This system took over 3 hours to set up. The manual is bad. System is just much more difficult to use than I would have expected. I had 3 manuals infront of me to get it figured out: TV, Cable Box, Sony HTIB manual. Each one of them gives their recommendation on how to set up a system with a TV, HTIB and a Cable box. You have to experiment with which wireup configuration you can get to work and how you want things running in sequence or parallel.
If you do buy this system, don't forget you will need to have your own connection cables (to tv, cable box, etc). I was aware of that before buying, so it wasn't an issue or dissapointing for me. It could be frustrating if you open the big box and expect to be enjoying movies etc an hour later...only to find out you need to run out to the store and get cables or order them online.
Others have commented about short rear speaker wires. I think they are ok, considering I have a big room. The sub is the only wire that I found too short.
Ultimately, I returned this Sony product and bought a Yamaha system without a BluRay player. I figure I would spend the same money on better quality system without BluRay and pick up a separate BluRay for $100-$175 later.
