Outstanding Sound
Easy to install and set up for me and I don't normally attempt that but the instructions were easy to follow. Looks very nice and the sound is awesome! It also comes with a calibration microphone to place in the middle of room and it calibrates the speakers on the size and shape of the room. Very satisfied with this purchase. Sorry to the Geek Squad this time since I could do this one this time by myself.

Got a great deal on this.
The receiver is easy to set up and easy to use. I currently have it paired with some Polk R 200 and S10 speakers. It powers the speakers well and sounds good too.
