To say I was blown away would be a gross understatement. And I guess it would also be a pun. Of course, buying such a fine piece of audio electronics is in some ways akin to that can to buying a fine sports car. You don't really know what you got until you, "Put your foot in it." Well, day one I took this hot rod for a test drive. And to say it performed as promised again is a gross understatement. I've been in broadcasting and in the music industry all of my life. And I'm used to being around and purchasing fine audio equipment. So believe me when I tell you that at full volume, this system does not leave anything on the table. Every ounce of every frequency of the audible spectrum is present and pure... with zero distortion. But more importantly, at a comfortable listening level, the richness of sound and the purity of the experience is unparalleled at full price. To find a system of this class for this price tag I thought to be laughable when I first read it. I thought there was a mistake. I quickly put it in my cart and looked over both shoulders and ran for the checked out i literally felt as though I were robbing the place. I thought certainly they had made a mistake... for I could not possibly see how they could sell this system for $199. But yet here I sit, listening to unparalleled beauty in any home system I've ever encountered. It would be well worth the full price tag of $1,199. But for $199 bucks? ROTFLMBO (I picked up that anagram from my grandchildren.) Home run, Walmart! You knocked this one out of the park.
