Customer Review: Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent sound system for the price, it features more inputs than Panasonic's or Samsung's similar offerings, it has every decoder you would expect with a DVD based system, and it has a more polished and sleeker look than others at this price range. I bought this to hook up to my computer (optical or coaxial can be used for digital input).
The HDX587WC comes with a wireless stereo that you can put anywhere in your home to allow people in other rooms to listen to whatever is playing on the main system (DVD, Radio, ipod, Aux). The quality of this stereo is consistent to what you could get for around $50, however the stereo only works with Sony equipment and cannot function separately.
This system is extremely bass heavy at default settings, I do like bass but in comparison to my other surround sound systems the bass gives the audio a very "muddy" sound effectively drowning out much of the upper-mid range frequencies. This can be fixed in the menu by adjusting the bass (for me to the minimum) The speakers levels can be adjusted slightly to compensate for your room size and speaker positions but the amount these settings can be tweaked is minimal.
If this is your first experience with a 5.1 audio system the default bass settings may not bother you at all, but if you are a semi-audiophile like me who has experience with other setups you will be surprised how poorly the subwoofer performs in relation to the rest of the system in comparison to other similar systems.
Overall, once the sub is tamed this system is a clear winner for price/performance in the $300-$450 range.
