    Buy recommendation!

    Dolby Atmos is simply brilliant. Unfortunately, it's not yet available in many cinemas, but it is at home! :)
    Price performance is right for the set.

    Good compromise for the price

    I opted for this system as we live in a flat. We want good sound, but no room for 11 speakers, and Dolby Atmos compatibility was one of our criteria.
    This system does its job well overall. The sound is crisp, the bass is     well present and the sound balance is good.
    However, the settings are a little sketchy and inflexible. In addition, we had some problems with Sony devices for the picture (PS4 pro, 4k Bluray player). As far as the PS4 is concerned, the PS4 is the problem. On the other hand, it is impossible to get the image with the 4k bluray player, even though all the standards are the same. Nevertheless, we are very happy with it.

    Maybe it's better to spend a little more money and buy something better.

    Like this! Exactly 16 days after the warranty expired, the HDMI output of the receiver no longer works! This means that the device is no longer usable. I would advise anyone not to buy this device or to extend the warranty to at least 5 years.

    Everything is made of plastic. Accordingly, it sounds somewhat "hollow" because plastic speakers do not have good vibration characteristics.
    I use it in a rented flat for Dolby Digital surround sound and effects. It's quite suitable for that. The sound in Dolby Surround is better than I expected and the subwoofer (made of plastic) brings out even the deepest sounds convincingly. Above all, it is easy to adjust so that (although possible) the walls and furniture do not tremble, but the bass effect is clearly audible and noticeable.
    None of my neighbours have complained so far.

    Apart from the Dolby Surround, the system just sounds very plastic and a bit cheeky. All in all, I don't think the price-performance ratio is good at all. This is definitely not a recommendation to buy.
    It's better to spend a little more money and buy something better.

    It is even better to buy the receiver and speakers separately, i.e. not as a complete set. In other words, buy good speakers from another manufacturer.     

    Pro

    • Dolby Surround is well presented and can also be used in rented flats without complaints from the neighbours
    • The range of functions is absolutely OK.

    Contra

    • Everything is made of plastic and extremely cheaply produced.
    • It sounds like plastic, hollow and cheeky and simply far too expensive for that.
