(1 out of 5) by Adam J. Blust on Feb 17, 2005 (Madison, Wisconsin)I'm on my fourth head unit, and this one only works intermittently. DVDs don't play, sound cuts out, on and on. Also, worst remote EVER. What's tragic is that while the head unit is clearly a piece of junk, the speakers are all great, and it sounds fantastic when it works.
Now Cambridge isn't selling these any more. No surprise.

lots of problems
(2 out of 5) by Brian Ismagil on Nov 15, 2004 (orange county, california)bought this 3 months ago. main unit burned out. base cube has lots of "connection problems". However, when it was working it sounded great. It was very stubborn to play certain dvd's.(took a long time to load many dvd's and cd'd. i am returning it tomorrow.

DVD player skips all the time
(2 out of 5) by Rebecca A. Taylor on Sep 1, 2004Bought this system based upon the reviews. Bad decision. The system played cd's fine, and the sound was great, but the dvd player skipped all the time. Granted some of the dvd's we tried were a bit old/scratched, but they played ok on a $50.00 dvd player so you would expect them to be ok on one that costs 10X as much.

Awesome!
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 7, 2003Bought this system at Fry's Electronics, one day sale after Chirstmas and threw a New Year party with bunch of friends.
They were so impressed with the sound and picture and thought I paid 2 grands for this system. Say goodbye to Sony, Bose and Yamaha for price/performance comparison.

Saw this in the Today Show this morning - and agree 100%
(5 out of 5) by Carl Michaels on Dec 4, 2002 (Chicago, IL)I just bought this system last week, and set it up this weekend. It rocks. Very cool look, awesome sound, and VERY easy set-up. Watching my favorite a.m. show- the Today Show this morning, and they reviewed a bunch of holiday gifts. Their tech. guy said that this was "Product of the Year". Biggest bang for the buck - and even sounds better than systems costing $10,000. Well, I've never compared it, but that's pretty impressive in my book.
You will love this system!
