PSW10 by D. Kay
I bought this sub to go with a pair of Monitor 40s, CS1 center, and Sony STR-DH710. It is an excellent addition. It is great for both music and home theater movies. If you care more about sound quality and looks than vibrating the neighbors house, this is the sub for you.

An excellent buy for starting a 7.1 system by Michael C
I purchased this receiver a few days ago and waited until I ran it through as many set-ups and combinations as I could in order to be as thorough in my review as possible. The STR-DH810 has been able to easily handle everything I've thrown at it through every type of cable imaginable and has only had one flaw that I've noticed: upscaling a composite video signal to 1080p (from a Nintendo 64 in this instance) seems to come with some flicker to the upscaled image, but flicker was solved by changing the resolution to 480p or 1080i. My only fault with the input set-up in the back is that there are no audio inputs that correlate directly with the component video inputs, so when I want to hook up a Wii or Xbox with component cables I have to hook the audio cables up to different inputs. Therefore, I have to have the L/R audio cables plugged into the BD composite audio input and reprogram where the video signal comes from in order to have the video and audio programmed to the same input selection. Because of this I had to do some unconventional reassigning of inputs, but since each input can be named by the user it is simple enough to keep track of.



Programming the remote to work with all of my components was very simple. Everything is working smoothly together, especially by utilizing Bravia Sync with a PS3.



5.1 and 7.1 DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD have been handled perfectly and the 7.1 set-up has given my living room a sound field that I wouldn't have believed. I prefer to calibrate my speakers by my own ear, but using the Auto Cal option to see how well it works was a very pleasant surprise, and trying to fool the mic by placing it in tough spots was harder to do than one would imagine. As long as the environment is quiet during the Auto Cal, then the calibration will do a fantastic job. I preferred to do a few tweaks of my own after the Auto Cal, but for the most part I felt that it was spot on.



This seems to be a fantastic starting receiver for the price, and the only reason I could see to upgrade to the STR-DH1010 would be for HDMI 1.4 support for 3D. If 3D isn't your concern then this receiver is the way to go.

Good Quality by Matthew A. Garner
I purchased these speakers as part of my equipment for outdoor weddings for my DJ business. I have since taken them out to one such event, with more pending. I've also used them as part of the surround sound setup in my home theatre system.



As outdoor speakers, the sound quality is good, provided you send the majority of your volume out from your source, rather than the speakers themselves, as they tend to get a bit scratchy at the higher volumes. High wind will carry away the bulk of the sound, and RF signals from outside sources (like the boats docked not far from the wedding where I worked) will interrupt the signal.



Indoors, these puppies really shine. They give an excellent, warm, rich tone as supplemental surround-sound speakers, especially with jazz. Heavy bass does tend to distort the sound on these speakers, as they're not really built for excessive low-end performance, but overall, I can't complain.

wish there were better by E. Johnson
It seems that there are very few choices on the market lately, probably because most people who needed one already have it. I originally had a Magnavox. It was a loser from day one - cheezy setup and remote, poor reception, poor features. After a year it wouldnt stay on for more than a minute. The Zinwell is definitely a step up from the Magnavox, but I would have gladly payed more for two more steps up. A sturdier remote, a few more features, better reception. I couldnt find that alternative, so settled for the Zinwell. Overall, I'd rate it "acceptable".
