Sounds pretty good. I need a center channel and surounds now. The only problem is I live in an appartment and your living room and kitchen are 1 big room so there really isnt any place for them. The tuner has Rhapsody, Napster, Pandora, Slacker Radio, and V Turner all built in. So you can stream them directly through the AV Reciever. Like banshee's home audio can get expensive pretty fast.
