What do you guys think of the Pioneer HTS-GS1 600W 5.1-Channel Home Theater System?

Personally I like Harmon-Kardon....GREAT sound

whilst 600w can no longer rattle the partitions contained in the encompass stakes (undergo in ideas 600w is disbursed over 6 audio device if the sub isn't passive) $a hundred can't be sniffed at for something made by potential of pioneer-it may be solid as a starter device. i began out with a sony dav-s 3 hundred (300w) and that i now have a multiple amp device producing 1700 watts. so i could seize it-it ought to be the beginning up of a wonderous journey.

while 600w isn't going to rattle the walls in the surround stakes (remember 600w is distributed over 6 speakers if the sub is not passive) $100 can't be sniffed at for anything made by pioneer-it would be good as a starter system. i started with a sony dav-s 300 (300w) and i now have a multiple amp system generating 1700 watts. so i would grab it-it could be the start of a wonderous journey.

if it fit your budget, then go ahead and buy it.

Usually Home theater in a box is not that great, but it is a Pioneer...

If you want to have really nice sound system, then you should buy the receiver, speakers, and subw differently.

Most important thing is the receiver cuz its where the sound is generated from

For what I think you are looking for and given that in our age group we are not looking to blow windows out. Its not a bad deal for an older model.
