Pros: This unit is very easy to set up (easy being a relative term of course), has a very good calibration system, lots of options, and very good features. One of my big reasons for getting this one over some of the cheaper ones is the streaming music - its so easy to just log in to your pandera account and stream music ! Also, I consider the solid state relays a pro. Anyone that understands electronics will appreciate an actual physical separation of the circuits, achieved with real solid state relays. When the sound source changes the circuit switches, causing the solid state relay to switch. This results in the "clicking" that people complain about. To be clear, this is ONLY a problem when watching TV, you will never have this happen in the middle of a movie, video game, CD, etc. And really, who watches TV anymore? I don't even have cable
Cons: If you use it for a very long time it does get a little hot. At the very min. never store something on top of it to keep the vents clear, but I actually bought a little computer fan to sit on top of it (which I don't even turn on unless I'm going to play FF13 for 16 hours straight).
Overall Review: Full 7.1 speaker system (going to set up the last 2 channels upstairs when I get around to it), so i don't use the highs or wides, but I have high end speakers (Definitive) that fill the room anyhow, so its not necessary. Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p projector on 100" screen. All hooked up to my Xbox360, PS3, and computer (all streamless easy hookups via HDMI). New visitors generally have their jaw drop off when I demonstrate the system, and this is the heart of it !
