Every time I go to someone's house and hear 5.1 mini-satelites, it sounds like I'm listening to a bunch of clock radios placed around the room. Terrible! Add to that the ghetto-car-trunk-buzz subwoofer and it only makes things worse. I politely say nothing but always wish they would just turn off the 5.1 system and listen to the little oval speakers built-in to the TV set. Wouldn't be any worse.

Music or movies, either way, the sound system must be complete with proper high-quality speakers!

But the ampsection in the integrated surround receiver/DVD is S-Master. So it can easily drive better speakers. I plan to build a TV-table with integrated center and sub - and over time get better speakers for at least the front L/F.

There's also a Peerless/Vifa based kit, I might use that for front sides - it has a 6½" Peerless and the Vifa DX dome (I think it's the same used in the Pi2's). Only thing is, the DX has to reasonably match the Peerless ring radiator in sound - I want a front that's homogenous. But the larger 6½" unit would be nice, when playing music in direct or 2.1 mode.
