Gotta click purchase to see the price. And I suggest you don't get this system.

See, this is like a weird combo thing, and I doubt you'll like it in the end. From what I can tell about hooking it all up, they try to make it all really easy and whatever, and you basically get the sound exported from your TV into the reciever, then into the speakers.

I love the little cube guys, that's why I have a set myself, but I strongly suggest you do home theater the old fashion way, speakers, and a reciever.

Why I did this was simple, do you see any optical inputs in that thing? I don't. So don't expect to get digital sond signals, like Dolby Digital or DTS. And for $3500, let's just say I think my $2100 purchase is a lot better than that.

Still want the cube speakers setup, here's the best one they sell: http://www.bose.com/home_audio/ht_speakers/am15/ . I own those, and love them. Currently using the ghetto style setup, cause I don't feel like ordering my wall mounts, which will run you another $100. Also has a powered sub, which is far from weak. In fact, I wish you could turn it down more, cause A lot of times I'm stuck turning it off at night

As for a reciever, crap, friend just came over. Will finish later.
