That looks pretty good! It's a reasonable next step in the evolution of things.

Finally, you don't have to get a surround receiver and install it where you can't run wires to the rear. After going through several years where the entire concept of hi fi took a big punch in the gut from ads showing people sharing earbuds... i.e. not even listening in stereo... it's nice to see a new category of product that can introduce high fidelity sound, and omigosh STEREO! to people who have only heard audio from a single stupidly small speaker.


I hope the two subwoofer outputs are turned on and off along with the A and B main outputs. Used to be with stereo products with Speaker A and B and subs that if you used the line level subwoofer inputs, and Speaker A and B, that when you'd turn off Speaker A, the subwoofer in Room A would stay on. The only way you could use A and B with a subwoofer was to use speaker level subwoofer wiring, which some people objected to.

The online information doesn't properly show the dimensions, but they are 17.3 x 14.9 x 4.1 inches.

This is almost too short (not slim) for you to get your hand in next to it to connect wires, but one should always leave some spare height above a receiver to aid in ventilation anyway... and the result is shorter than a heretofore standard receiver. It's shorter.

Speaking of which, it's a bit odd that they use the word "slim," which universally means having less width, and apply that to an item that's small in height, but such is the carelessness with which words are used these days.
