Expensive but a good system

I can't imagine this system not ever meeting my needs and expectations. It just works.

I purchased this system because I didn't want to spend $1,700 for a Sonos set up that has less speakers. It took me as little as 20 minutes to get it set up, but the subwoofer wasn't connecting to the hub. After multiple attempts to fix the issue while on the phone with Rob at Enclave, he kindly shipped me a new system.

The new set up has been working quite well for the past 2 weeks and I am using the ARC CEC set up. I have connected an Apple TV and a DVD player.

The surround sound is great, also playing music from bluetooth with my phone is good quality and loud enough for a party.

CONS:
You need your TV on to see what selection you are making on the hub, and if you want to use bluetooth to play music its a bit bothersome.
Bluetooth means you can't walk around the house with your phone in your pocket and leave the living room...I wish this was on Wifi like Sonos.
The interface isn't fancy.
Back speakers lack base and are very faint.
Center speaker (hub) gets very loud during a movie when music plays and actors talk. It makes it hard to hear the dialog.

All in all, its a good product but there is room for improvement. I would have bought a Sonos if at $1,700 it included two more speakers... However I also wanted to get something different, for the sake of having the next big thing! But the Enclave Cinema system isn't as good as promised.

i own a 67inch samsung tv. my family refers to it as our imax. so i decided it was time for us to get our first home theater system. i did a little reserch and landed on this one. it was a definite upgrade from the tv speakers. it made watching movies way more fun... BUT i'm pretty into sound, and i was a little dissapointed with the limited tweeking the system gives you esp with eq. i was also suprised that the systems volume limit isn't higher. they told me at the store it would get louder with better speaker wire. there is also limited inputs... so for these reasons i took it back. for me its worth spending potentiall another 500 to 1000 to get a more... but for the money if your on a budget, i think its a good system. especially if this is your first, or you haven't had one. the bass is good and you get good sound. the rear wireless speakers is a plus to me. when you upgrade to better systems you lose that feature.

so i liked it, but didn't love it.

This is a pretty good system. I've had it for a few years now, and I have only had to replace one camera power supply. The remote has never been very responsive, and getting videos off the unit is somewhat difficult. But it is worth the money.

Great system. A little challenging and time consuming to set up. Directions for assembly could be a little better but I have seen a lot worse from china

I recently bought this system and it was worth the money, my only complaint is that the directions were not as detailed as I would have liked.

Pros: Adaptiq automated system setup; exquisitely tiny sats; curvy receiver/DVD player; multiroom capability; point-anywhere, radio-frequency remote.
Cons: Expensive; bass-heavy sound; no progressive-scan video outputs.
Summary: For those with limited space this is a fair system. But, there are clearly better choices available; Onkyo, Klipsch, and Paradigm, to name a few. But, if you must have a Bose, Dont forget the "tiny cubes" need to be accompanied by a rather imposing "BASE UNIT". Bose calles it "non-localized", I call it BOOMY. This channel separation should make for good delivery of highs and lows. But it is the lows that stand out. Boy do they stand out! The LS35 produces a rather muddy sound. This system also lacks progressive scan, a common feature even on far less pricey systems. Yeah, I know, Bose speakers are found in high-end automobiles, etc. But, the reality is, Bose sound reproduction is not the best available. After all, when is the last time someone was bragging about their "Klipsch system". Think, listen, and you just might realize that you can get alot more for alot less $$$$. Unless, of course, image is of the utmost importance to you in making a purchasing decision.

An expensive system, but looks great!  Not sure why white costs more, but it's my own fault for picking the white color I guess.

I just picked up a second unit to place outside the shower.

Overall very nice system fairly easy to install. Running wires is the most difficult part. The software is ok, takes some getting used to. The iPhone and iPad apps work great, however it did require a call to tech support to get password issue resolved. They were great and solved it quickly. The packaging was excellent, only complaint the hard drive fan is very noisy so plan on locating the hard drive box in a closet or cabinet. I've read that you could replace the fan with a quiet one fairly cheap. You can have a computer monitor and s tv hooked up at the same  time too which is nice.

I'm not an audiophile, but technically experienced, so this is a casual review.  This system was an upgrade from an older Panasonic 5.1 Home Theater System.  The Onkyo has been very good in my experience.  The powered subwoofer is really too strong for life in an apartment, but there is a volume knob and I keep it low-ish most of the time.  You have to realize that setting up and installing a 7.1 system is going to take some time, as you have to connect and run a lot of wires around the room.  Onkyo makes the process about as easy as it can be with good connectors and clear instructions.  I had to buy some extra speaker wire since the room I was installing into required some creative routing.  I connected a DVD player to the Onkyo system using an HDMI cable and a second HDMI to connect from the Onkyo receiver to the TV.  I also needed a digital audio cable to connect the DVD player to the receiver.  I thought HDMI carried audio, but this is what I had to do.  The iPod dock is very useful for charging the iPod and playing music.  Overall, I'm very happy with this system.

This system sounds good but over all has a lot to be desired.
Could use a few aux inputs and function controls are strange at best.
Not to happy with the over all setup of the controls and at times you have to use the function buttons and the remote to achieve what you want.
I think Sony could have done a much better job in the engineering process here but for $161 what can I say?
The local Wally Mart wanted $200 for the same system.

I bought this system to replace my older Panasonic Home Theater system that I bought in 2008. Some things I didn't like about the system was the remote control layout (it seems almost upside down), although the remote control did have some great perks like a dedicated Netflix button which I love, plus home, and Viera Cast buttons. These made it easy to jump straight to the home screen, or Internet content. I also have a Panasonic HDTV, and though it odd that this blu ray player's GUI didn't allow for adding custom titles to the two HDMI inputs like my TV does. You'll have to remember which is which, but at least you get two HDMI in, and an HDMI out which is a big plus. Perfect for PS3, or Xbox owners who want to take advantage of 5.1 surround without extra cables, or wires. You'll have to position the wireless rear speaker unit fairly close to the TV or the rear speakers will cut out. I was able to solve this by putting the wireless unit in a large empty space under my reclining sofa.

What I like about the unit is as mentioned some of the dedicated buttons on the remote for fast access to the home screen, or Internet content, or dedicated apps such as Netflix, and Skype. The Skype camera is sold separately, but is still a nice addition. I'm no guru, but In comparison to my older system the sound was great. The surround sound was clear, and unlike my older system I was able to adjust the speaker volume independently, which is a huge plus. My kids were amazed it really did sound like we were sitting in a movie theater, which is something my older system didn't quite accomplish.

Disc playback is good, and it will play a regular DVD. Switching between Live TV, game console, and receiver is easy and painless, but would be better if each HDMI had individual dedicated buttons on the remote. It may be possible to fix this using the extra color coded keys, but I haven't tried it.

I had Amazon Prime, so for an extra 4 bucks I got it in three days! I saved about $50 buying it from Amazon vs direct from Panasonic, plus some when you figure in the cost of shipping. All in all I love this system, even with a few quirks, and would absolutely recommend this to a friend.

This is an excellent systems, I don't think there's a better deal for this price, the receiver decodes every format that I have played trough it, it has plenty inputs and outputs to handle all your players and more than enough settings to adjust everything to the smallest detail, my viewing room is far from ideal for proper movie surround, never the less with all those settings I have managed to obtain an almost perfect sound, even if you're not that tech inclined it comes with it's own mic and auto setting function. Satellites are small yet they can handle a very loud volume without distorting and sub has a nice tight punch (very different than my previous system noisy rumble). Scene buttons is the most welcome function so far, with those you can set everything for a particular input and store it, so now instead of explaining every member of the family how to set the system for each situation they just simply press the desired button and the system turns on ready to be used.

Perhaps the only drawback that I can think about is that it does not convert signals from component or line video to HDMI, those inputs can only be viewed trough the corresponding output

Nice system but for $100 you might consider just making your own with a electric vacuum pump and glass jars/carboys. Look on YouTube for innovative, flexible and easy solutions

I bought this system about 1 week ago. It is a very powerful system, has very good low and high frequency and ok mid frequency. for the price i paid it is a very good system under 300 bucks. The bass is booming with blue ray movies. Great unit you will like it. You can hook up hdmi to your dvd /blue ray player, cable box and apple tv to the soundbar and then run a hdmi out to your tv. Also run an optical cable from your tv to the sound bar and you will be all set for great sound!

This seemed like a great system for the price.  I'm still using it, so it's good enough to keep, but there are things you should know before you buy:

The good:  Once you get the wires run and the cameras mounted it's VERY easy to setup and use, and very stable and reliable.  You basically just turn it on and it starts -- I really appreciated this.

-I also had no problem running third party microphones to this device.

-upgrading the hard drive was very easy

The bad:

-The external SATA connection is non-functional, which is unfortunate, since it was a big reason I got it.

-There is no easy way to back up your videos (mostly because the SATA port doesn't work -- you can only use USB or the network connection, both of

PROS: System has great features. It has all sorts of features such as IPOD/IPAD, connect to wi-fi, HDMI, USBs, You can adjust your own bass loudness from different volumes settings. It has 3D full HD, Blu-ray 3D, SD card input. Sound and picture is great. Crystal Clear picture from Blu-ray.
Sells for $299 online. You can watch movies such as blu-ray, DVD listen to music from your I pod/I pad, connect to WI-FI to watch netflix, TV channel apps like a smart tv. You can also view your pictures and videos from SD card or tablets. Has a lot of great features. Would recommend this product to others.

CONS:  The settings are a little confusing at first when you first set it up to the liking of the sound settings. WI-FI is hard to get to connect.

Best for families who like to enjoy a nice cozy evening watching movies, or just a group of friends hanging out listening to music. Great for a lot of different people.

My opinion on this is that its a good home theater system with surround sound. I would recommend this to other people to buy this. The price might be a little expensive but otherwise its good.
