After awaiting delivery of our new sofa, I've finally been "allowed" to set up my receiver and speakers.
Wow, is all I can say really. Even out of the box the sound is just stunning. Five minutes setting up speaker distances and levels made is 10 times better again.
This is my first system that has more than 2 speakers so I don't really have anything to compare it to. Even so, watched T2 again tonight and the film is totally different when you have all the sound working compared to the speakers on the TV. Enthralled isn't the word.
Just got to do some work isolating the speakers on the wood floor (see thread in Speakers) but apart from that, just the next few months trying to fathom the manual, programming the remote and trying out all the different sound 'effects'.
If you are considering the STR-VA555ES, I can give it a big thumbs up. I can also recommend HotKit in Nottingham. ordered last thing Friday, arrived following Tuesday all in for £759.99 (£749.99 for the unit + plus £10 delivery). Top people.
Cheers
