Summary: This is really great system...if you don't want/can't have a true surround option. I'm not that fussed about whether it simulates surround or not..
Pros: Great compact size, strong sound performance, great interfacing, works with VeiraLink...so can ditch the remote (which is admittedly exceptionally ugly)
Cons: Ugly remote...which you don;t realy need if you use Pana or Tosh TV
