    My experience with the online chat help was exceptional. I explained what I wanted, what I already owned, and he came up with a list that worked. He was patient and explained everything. I would recommend your online chat help any day. The equipment I received has just been installed and seems to be fine. Instructions were clear and easy to follow.

    This receiver/amp replaced another one I had. Impressed with what it does. It requires an active subwoffer and my old one was passive so it added to the cost. I was able to keep my other speakers. There are several speaker conficurations. The setup microphone was useful. The salesperson worked with me for a long time - very knowledgeable.
