for the price, you can likely do better in a small 5.1 set up. The YSP is also very dependent on the dimensions of your room and the proximity of the side and rear walls. Properly set up and in the right room, it does a great job for its purpose. If you want a single box solution, with no wires (other than the sub, DVD and Cable/DSS box), it is not bad, just over priced.
