I had a sound bar which it was decent product, but wanted to update to a surround sound speakers after shopping around I found this great deal on this product, sound is excellent and is a Yamaha, I am very happy with the final product and will recommend specially with the deal got, thanks Best Buy.

Is this product top of the line home stereo? No. Is this better than 90% of the sound bars that are out there? Yes! Could you buy a Bose surround sound thats probably better? Yes. So, if you know what you want, this is a very good surround sound system that is good value. Yamaha puts out a very good product. This receiver decodes most if not all of the Dolby codes for movies, has a subwoofer that definitely puts out the base(!), and has lots of input options for HDMI, component, bluetooth, etc. I recommend it for the price point. You can listen to to FM radio, tv, blu-ray, or game systems and the receiver has options to tailor the output of the sound.
Cons: more difficult to hook up than a sound bar but really its not bad. The rear speakers are wired so you will have to determine if that works for you. The speakers are smallish and lightweight – thats ok for most applications but it means that the system relies on the subwoofer for most of the base. I recommend getting better speaker wire as the supplied speaker wire will work but seems very lightweight.
I use this system for all the applications mentioned above. It sounds great and is good value in my opinion. To noticeably upgrade beyond this system you would need to spend double the amount or more!
If you are not able to see this in the store then know that the 4 satellite speakers are only 6.5 inches tall. See picture.

Pretty solid surround sound system. For the price it’s hard to beat, gets super loud, not the greatest sound quality at the higher volumes but absolutely great for movies and games. I’ve also had it for like 3 years and it’s lasted through a lot. Very good value
