After my Denon HiFi blew up I was at a loss as I could not afford to replace it. I bought a Panasonic system similar to this, but it lacked optic input from the TV which I wanted as I watch a lot of Music DVDs. I used it with my Denon speakers which were still OK. Then I found this Panasonic system - on special. It is fantastic. In fact I found I could sell my Denon speakers because the supplies Panasonic speakers could not be bettered as far as I am concerned. This is for true hi fi system and not for those who want loud thumping bass.
