I bought this a few months ago as my first foray into true home cinema surround sounds.

I matched this to a Marantz CD/DVD/SACD player, and a mordaunt short speaker package - WOW!

You will not know what hits you - first play was Gladiator, I was blown away by the tremendous but composed bass, sounds coming from behind and around me!

The Amp itelf is dead easy to set up using the menus displyed on screen and the set up tones for the speaker, A sound presssure meter is an idea but not needed (so the speakers are not over powering each other).

It even puts in a storming performance with your stereo CDs, it far outshine my prevous amp (a dedicated sereo amp - again from marantz)
I'll be holding on to my SR5400 for a while yet!
