If you want a true surround system then you must go for Sony. There is no competition of Sony in it. I am also using Sony home theatre at my place.
I'm not saying Leon is wrong, I just want to now the reasons behind his statement. Personally I don't have anything made by Sony any more. For me they seem to cater to lower end closed systems that can't be upgraded. Plus, the few Sony products I have owned didn't last (mainly DVD players and VCRs).
That was my experience, but I've owned at least a dozen different Sony products, and most of them were rather expensive, and ranged across several different product lines. Virtually none of them lasted three years. I finally had to swear off the brand entirely. I've never another electronic product, ever, that didn't last 15 years, at the minimum.Plus, the few Sony products I have owned didn't last (mainly DVD players and VCRs).
Sony have the best technology to make surround system. You will feel like two person are talking in front of you rather than in a video or movie. Most importantly, the sound is very crisp and clear.
