Have one of these systems from 6 years ago and it still sounds great so thought I would buy another, what a letdown!
EVERYTHING is cheaper. The orig subwoofer weighed about 15-lbs, the new one weighs about 9. The cabinet is exactly the same dimensions, but the power transformer is now totally wimpy.
The old subwoofer had an on/off switch, the new one doesnt, even the AC cord is about 2-ft shorter.
All in all, the new one doesnt have the richness in sound my original 6 year old system has.
