cq_ Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 my professor at miami does consulting for samsung consumer products... The HT-DS610 is actually a pretty decent deal, and one system he did tweak out. I installed this system for my aunt and was suprised at what could come out of a $250 box. (if you are curious do a search for ken pohlman) the yamaha stuff is good too. Really for $250 your options are very limited... and just like women, eveyone's tastes are different. definatly try out several systems before you buy one...

The Samsung is a nice system, but the sound seems a bit flat to me. I do have a bias towards Yamaha, though, but even objectively looking at it, the 160 is just a pretty good deal. The fact that it's a full on receiver is a huge bonus. The receiver (5830) costs $200 stand alone as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
