I was looking for a nice home theater system for under $100 and was having trouble finding one with an all around good consumer rating. I stumbled across this unit and was impressed on how many good reviews it got from people that has this system. So I went ahead and ordered it. We recieved it very promptly ( i was expecting it to take weeks but it really only took a few days. when we got it it took no longer than an hour to start enjoying surrond sound. we were amazed at how good the sound was for the price that we paid. all I have to say is buy a coax cable ..it really makes a difference when you are watching a movie...I hightly recomment this, you won't be disapointed.

Always looking for bargains that contain all the features I need, I discovered this AWAI-D58. Not only is it inexpensive for the options you recieve, but they are high-class options. Dolby Digital is common, but this reciever has DTS-5.1 digital decoding, which means you can buy those DTS Concert DVD's and listen to them as they were meant to be listened to. The reciever has five speakers (2-Front/2-back/one-subwoofer) outputs. It even has an audio analog input to accept a decoded DVD. In other words, you cannot go wrong.
I use this with my APEX AD-1.500 DVD player. It's almost as good as a professional loud theatre without all the distractions. Lap it up now!

Received this dvd-audio along with Fire dvd-audio from the Ohio Players and I can only say that is is, along with Fire how a music surround mix should be. Not overdone or boomy with bass like alot of todays music. But don't despair, there is enough bass,especially on tunes like Fopp. I like most of the songs here, one or two I can do without but this review is about the quality of the mix, which is to say the least exxcellent! A must have to show off your system, if it can handle it. :)

Let me first start by saying that if you have concerns about the quality of this receiver you are absolutely right! The reputation around Onkyo receivers was shaken so much by quality issues in the recent past.  However, Onkyo finally managed to fix all issues with the latest firmware (#400).  So as consumers we are in a sweet spot.  We get a great receiver for a great price - Onkyo can't inclrease the fallen price atleast for a while and I hope Amazon does put the number of negative reviews into account when discounting prices.  I guess that's the cost failing products pay in a highly competitive market!  Now about this receiver - it is packed with useful features, has a ton of inputs.  Two HDMI outputs is very useful in many situations.  Sound quality is amazing and Audyssey makes your speaker setup a breeze.  Settings can be tweaked to perfection with fine grained control.  Streaming radio options are good, though no support for Netflix and the like. All in all, a neat product at an unbeatable price for what it offers.

I got these speakers about a year ago to go with my bic acoustech center, sub and rear fluance bipolars. People say you shouldn't mix and match speakers but I firmly believe that if they heard this, they would be impressed. The jbl speakers sound amazing with music(lossless Dave Matthews, pink Floyd, rage against the machine, rascal flats, Tool and jack Johnson. I also listen to music on vinyl, with Mumford and sons, black keys, and jay Z. As you can see this is quite the variety. tight punchy bass, clear mids, and really really high highs with the super tweeters. My only complaint if you can even call it that is that you really need a sub to let the full potential of these speakers go. Even on the booklet you receive, jbl states that you really should buy a sub. But this goes for all floorstanding speakers that sell for lower than $600. Jbl has a classic sound to them that sounds like you're listening to a live concert but I suppose that sound is from the use of some of the same engineering processes used in their higher end theater and concert speakers since they cover most theaters in the world. These are some awesome speakers and I tried my best to give you a review that best describes the listening experience you will have when you sit down in a quiet room and play your favorite music, over all, with about a year of experience, I can fully recommend these speakers!

I, like other reviewers, was skeptical about what I would get for such a low price.  But, after five months of use, I can give an enthusiastic "thumbs up."  The speakers are clean and the sound is more than sufficient for our rather large bedroom. The DVD is fairly easy to use and has all the whistles and bells that I need.
I used the customer service once when I had a problem with programing and got through quickly and reached a service rep. that actually knew the product!  He fixed my dilemma in less than 90 seconds.  Incredible in today's market (Hello Compaq, take notes from these guys).
In today's high tech market there are great buys to be found at the bottom-end of consumer electronic products, and the Norcent DP1600 DVD Home Theater is one of them. Highly recommended.

I being a Dj for a liitle more of 5 years and well I was using a Behringer 700, and was a very nice mixer for the price. After 3 years using that mixer and start having issues i decide to move up with price and quality, well I hear a lot of good thins about Allen & Heath products and using the xone 92 in a couple gigs makes me go and look for the xone 22 this mixers is just amazing with a very considerable price. The Xone 22 gives you the best of quality of sound and mixing, the channels are very smooth the filters are fun to use and your sets will just incredibly blowing minds! this is a good fancy little mixer for home use and beginners Djs.

I purchased these speakers for an amazing price on Amazon. They are being used as rear surround speakers in a 5.1 system. I painted them to match my living room and they blend in well. The grills are a little tricky to paint. It would be ideal to spray them with multiple light coats of paint, although I do not have a sprayer so I was very careful with a brush. I used a piece of cardboard to wipe off most of the paint on the brush before actually touching the grills with the brush. Just take your time and they will turn out nice. Now the important stuff - the speakers sound great! The room is now filled with sound when watching movies and listening to music. I think I may purchase another pair for my dinning room to be used as a second zone off my receiver. The price can't be beat and the shipping was free and extremely fast. I considered Klipsch (my front speakers and subwoofer is Klipsch), but honestly would not be able to tell a difference - and I'm very neurotic about having the best stuff. I highly recommend them!!

I listened to the stereo mix which sounds great and has 3 bonus tracks.  Then I tried the surround and you get a real sense of depth overall with a good bass kick.  The music videos are great quality and surround too.

Bang for the buck surround sound. The subwoofer quit working. Called definitive and they sent me prosub 800 rather quickly. I have this in my media room and it certainly awes people by its awesome sound quality..

I'm an AV tech for highend audio video, and we use the Integra's, Denon's, and Sony reciever's all the time to support surround sound theaters in these upscale homes. This was a first time I used this product and it not only handled the Theater zone, I also have it running a separate audio zone, which you can play together (same source) or completely different audio sources at the same time! It also has a ton of new features for blue tooth, wifi, music apps, ipods and more!? A great buy and supports a large system!

I gave this 5 stars because it performs so well for the price. In my system, the sound is wide open spacious with nice detail. I do wish they had a bass boost switch because the bass is a bit weak in some songs, but the overall sound is so good I am willing to overlook that. I should say that I'm feeding it with a Marantz 6005 cd player, pure silver interconnects, and using Beyer T90 headphones. With that said, if you like strong bass this may not be the one for you. And be sure and leave it up and running for about 50 hours. Mine opened up and became so much more listenable after the burn-in time. Finally, I am very glad it was made in the US. Good job guys!

I was hesitant about buying this because I generally don't trust bundle packages (looking at you directv).  I have to say that I am very glad that I pulled the trigger on this one.  Three hundred and whatever dollars for some studio monitors, an audio interface, a mic, and a bunch of accessories (including ableton live lite) was a steal.  This stuff doesn't seem to be of bad quality either, I don't know where i'm getting screwed on this.  I'll let you know when I figure it out.

The PRODUCT:  I purchased a pair of the Polk RM6751 speakers to complete a PolK RM6750 7.1 surround installation in a large conference room.  The system sounded great out of the box, but there was some dead space at the back because of where the sweet spot was targeted.  The addition of the two rear surround made all the difference and the final result is incredible.  The entire system matches and looks good, it performs way beyond our expectations (especially considering the great price we got it for) and the subwoofer really packs some punch on the low end!  16ga speaker wire worked great, and don't forget to buy a cable for the sub.

The VENDOR: I got a great price and the vendor shipped the exact order (well packaged) immediatley.  They did everything they said they would and in the time they advertised.  I would definately but from them again.

Really a terrific product overall, but probably of most interest will be what I've found about the Sound Field settings. (Accessible on top of remote):

STEREO  A good compromise, both the second brightest in treble, and second most subwoofer energy.
P AUDIO  Great for anything that emphasizes very clear vocals. Very spacious in mid and treble.
STD & MOVIE  Best surround sound in treble, MOVIE slightly more so. Both more bass than P AUDIO.
GAME & MUSIC  Delivering best surround sound in bass, emphasizing subwoofer. MUSIC = max subwoofer. Comparing MUSIC to P AUDIO you'll really notice a rumble from the sub in MUSIC that in some cases is completely missing from P AUDIO.

When I have music with mostly bright vocals, I use P AUDIO. For bright vocals plus more bass, I use STEREO, although if there is going to be some serious rumbling too STD is best. If I want to hear something like thunder rumbling in the distance, MUSIC is far and away the best.

These settings depend somewhat on what your input source is, of course.

I found didn't like a lot of the sound I was getting until I figured out the sound field settings better as noted above. Essentially, they tend to apply the surround effect more to treble or to bass depending on setting, and some settings deliver significantly more oomph via the subwoofer.

Overall, the system needs a significant midrange boost around 1K via equalizer, and a drop at 125 before lifting the lower bass up. Using the the Amp menu > Tone doesn't do enough, and doesn't have enough granularity like an equalizer does. If I couldn't use an equalizer with this, I would probably drop 1.5 stars or so in my satisfaction rating. But it's awesome, especially for the price!

Note that some of the pro reviews (such as CNET) say that there is better sound in this price range, but go on to explain that that ONLY applies to really cranking the system very, very loud. At "normal" volumes the sound on this system is unbeatable in this price range. I move it for different uses (nicely portable), but listen to music on it while I work several hours each day.

I've included a screenshot of the EQ settings that I prefer for most things in the "customer images" section of the product page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B00945RAQY/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_dav

I got this setup instead of the LOGITECH z906s becasue of the $130 pricetag. AMAZING sound on all levels and frequencies!!! The satellite speakers hit all the highs and nail the mid ranges like nobody's business. And as for the sub, lets just say youd better have your a$$ strapped in tight for the pounding this subwoofer unit gives. I replaced an old 5.1 1000 watt surround system with this system. It fills my downstairs, half of a 2500 square foot house and the bass rattles my walls and windows!!!  EVEN THOUGH THIS SYSTEM RATES FOR 200 WATTS RMS AND 400 WATTS MAX, IT WILL PERFORM AS WELL IF NOT BETTER THAN OTHER 1000 WATT SYSTEMS. You will not be disappointed with this speaker system!!!
