Very true that the box is massive, it is hard to believe that it is just a "mini" system. It is big and heavy, but the sound is impeccable and it is very loud. I have it in my dorm room and it can shake the room! The sound is crisp no matter what the volume is. I have it hooked up to my computer and my tv/xbox and movies and games and everything just sounds fantastic. When I ordered I didn't know how long the cords were, the rear speakers have cables that are very long, 20 feet at the least, probably more like 30. The front speaker cable are not as long, more like 10 or 12 feet. I had to extend one of the front speaker wire, but it was no big deal and there was no loss in sound. If you are considering this or a cheaper system, go for this, it is worth it! The bass and clarity of sound is impeccable. You won't regret it!!!

i think the best part of this system is that it is advertised as a mini shelf system. in reality, there arent many shelves it will actually fit on. the four massive 22cm speakers allow for great sound and great bass, which in all honesty, was exactly what i was looking for, BASS. putting out 720rms is quite impressive. i bought this system for my dormroom last year and when i had the x-groove on (bass option), you could hear and feel the bass down the hall and 4 floors up. it was no joke. for those who love purity of sound and great bass, this system will fit your every need. just make sure you can find a good place for the head unit cuz the thing is massive. now that sony came out with a 1000rms system, i will most definitely be looking to invest in one of those. great systems, two thumbs up!!

Massive box (4.5' x 2' x 2' roughly), Very large main unit. The sound is incredible, tons of great features and sound control. Powerful, crisp, and flexible. 4 speakers can be used for surround sound, or stacked horizontally or vertically . Everything you could want in a "minisystem", with great, loud sound. Holds its composure well at high volumes. Just make sure you have a wagon/hatch/minivan type vehicle when buying/picking up!

This thing came in a huge box that has to be signed for so make sure someone home to sign for it. Also it came in a box that was as big as my fridge. Losts of foam protection. Sound quality is off the hook. great surround sound for my games, I have it hooked up to my Xbox360. I can hear everything. It is simple and easy to use, just remember to set the clock if you want the test pattern to stop, took me a week to figure that out. Very good investment in my opinion.

This system says in the title that it is mini however it is mini by no means. 144 pound shipping weight, almost a fridge size box! Fabulous! VERY LOUD AND GREAT BASS. it rattles the hell out of my schools locker room i highly recommend this
