Title: Small size, great sound
Review: We wanted a unit of this type because of its size (NYC apartment) and because of its childproof nature (it sits high up on a little shelf - only the subwoofer is within easy reach). The only other competition at the time was BOSE (Yamaha now has a similar unit, as does Harmon-Kardon which is JBL anyway). Although there was a very slight difference in sound quality between JBL and BOSE, it wasn't worth the price difference. The unit is easy and intuitive and it gives great big theater quality sound. I will sometimes switch between the pretty good stereo sound on the TV and the JBL unit just to reassure myself that my money was well spent. It is very user friendly. Installation was a snap. The "source" is pretty light and plastic and can feel a bit flimsy, but it has held up admirably so far. The only downsides are the remote which is credit-card size and has a habit of getting easily lost in the couch, and that a power interruption loses the radio pre-sets.
