2 out of 5 stars Great idea, bad execution   October 17, 2007
I wanted to get better sound on my TV without buying a complete TV speaker system so this unit seemed ideal. However, I needed to return it twice for malfunctions. There was a processor problem which created static sound during a broadcast. (Customer service was very good.) The unit is OK for spoken word TV broadcasts but DVDs with music are a real problem. The soundtrack is played back too loud relative to the dialogue which is very distracting. I was very excited about this product and overall it has not met my expectations. I don't use it much.


5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!   May 12, 2007

Absolutely amazing! I had no hiss at all, I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about!

This all in one surround sound system is just great, my wife loves it because there's no more cables all over the place and I love it because I get the surround sound I've always wanted!

Amazing bass, I swear I've had guests over asking me where the subwoofer was haha

Amazing treble as well

overall, a very good all around surround sound system that's unique, good and CHEAP for $300!!!



2 out of 5 stars watch out for the hiss   September 19, 2005

Despite reading reviews that warned of an audible hiss in all but optical modes, I ordered this anyway as I use an optical connection. The electronic whine, which Soundmatters' FAQ describes as rarely an issue, is so loud (in all modes) that you can easily hear it across the room whenever the soundtrack goes quiet. Very annoying. I seriously doubt if all the units are this bad. I'll be returning this one tomorrow. It's too bad as the sound is otherwise quite good.


5 out of 5 stars Mainstage Surround Sound Speaker System   October 30, 2004
  16 out of 18 found this review helpful

I am very pleased with the quality of this product. The stereo speakers on my television set have never worked perfectly, emitting an unpleasant, tinny sound at certain frequencies. The Mainstage system has completely corrected that problem. CD's now sound wonderful, especially as compared with how they formerly sounded. I couldn't be more pleased with this product than I am.
