Rav , Birmingham

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Powerful system which can be used as a hifi aswell as dvd player etc so you have near enough everything in one system.
Bad points:: Takes a lot of time trying to set it up, and the connecting wires can be a problem in hiding them if you are going to hand the speakers on your walls! The speaker stands for the front speakers are too big. Would be nice if the system had a multi cd option so you can play more than one cd. Buying the hdmi and other cables is very expensive especially if you need a long length to coonect to your tv!
