For your Dolby digital or DTS encoded soundtracks, onboard 5.1 digital decoding enables detailed surround sound - from the roar of the crowd to the footsteps right behind you.

You can connect up to six audio devices simultaneously - including your TV, DVD, DVR, Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii, iPod and even your PC or Mac laptop. And with its easy-to-read display and easy-to-stack design, the control console looks good with your home-entertainment system.
For your convenience, a wireless remote lets you control your listening experience without ever getting off the couch. And, wall-mountable satellites turn any room into a home theater.

Now doubt those will be decent speakers. Reviews should be popping up soon.
does it have HDMI?
Works with:
Computers, music players, TVs, Blu-ray™/DVD players and other audio sources with digital optical, digital coaxial, RCA audio or 3.5 mm out.
PlayStation®2, PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360® or Wii® using the AV cable that comes with your console
THX Certified... just like the two Klipsch 4.1 and 5.1 systems I've had for almost a decade. Only sound will tell.
So indeed, where is the HDMI? and why the remote is still infrared?! where is the RF remote control (for google/wikipedia - search for ZigBee / RF4CE)?
It's nice they have multiple inputs though.
What works for you won't nessecarily work for everyone.
Nevermind you've not even tried these, so you've got no idea about how good/bad they are, really.
might be two-way sattelites, from the looks of it.
Also they added another spdif optical or a pass through, added RCA input and moved all the connections to the sub instead of the control pod. :laugh:
no not even close
X540
2 x 7.4W front, 15.4W center, 2 x 7.4W rear 25W sub
z906/z5500
5 x 67W sats, 165w sub
I mean, I have already to turn down the bass because i hear it easily from the lift or building entrance
Nice design, not very elegant that volume controller is a bit silly.
How many inches are the sub ? 10' or 12' ?
