I'm not a super crazy audiophile, but when a friend gave me his old onkyo stereo system, I learned to appreciate surround sound. Unfortunately, unless your house comes pre-wired, the fact is if you want rear speakers, there will be some cable running around the place.
I didn't want that, and I'm willing to accept a slight loss of quality in sound. As a result, I watched this unit at best buy and when someone returned a system, I bought the open box version for a discount.
Frankly, the system works, and if that's really all you care about, then that's pretty much all you need to know. It requires a power socket, and you will have some piggybacking devices on your receiver, but ultimately, when I watch movies on blu ray or on Netflix, I get good quality surround sound. I don't hear any static, and I run it right beside my current wireless n router, but I'm certain someone who REALLY REALLY cares will notice some audio issue. I don't, and I'm pretty happy with the system. I would definitely recommend the setup especially if you see an open box.
What's great about it: Incredibly easy to set up...and it works
What's not so great: Kind of expensive, difficult to hide.
