The best bang for your buck anywhere. This sounds system exceeds performance of systems 4-$500 more expensive. Buy it.
Bravia DAV-HDX589W Home Theater System March 2, 2010

Just purchased this home theater system ("HTS") to compliment my recently purchased Sony Bravia 46KDLW5100 LCD TV and my Sony Bravia BDP-360 Blu-Ray player. All I can say is, WOW! This was the first time I have ever purchased/owned a HTS and I am blown away. Set-up was easy (if you can follow simple instructions), the sound is incredible, and the system overall looks wonderful. Since I already had a Blu-Ray player hooked up to my TV via HDMI cable from the player to the TV, I decided to run a digital optical cable from the HTS receiver to the TV in order to get sound when watching Blu-Ray movies. It works perfectly and the cord was only 7 bucks or so. *Please Note* You will most likely need to go into your audio settings menu on your Blu-Ray player/TV to adjust a setting or two to make sure the sound is coming through at full volume i.e. I had to go to the audio settings on my Blu-Ray player and switch the BD audio to "Direct" in order to get the full sound coming through to the speakers.
Overall, the system is an incredible value for the money and if you purchase this system, you surely will not be disappointed.

Edit: If you would like to connect all your components directly then this system is not for you, just get a receiver that meets your needs and then build from there.
Very easy set-up, the manual had easy instructions. The speakers sound amazing, the bass was a bit too loud when I first plugged it in, but after I used the auto-configuration with the supplied microphone it was corrected. I had no issues with setting up S-Air rear speakers, when I first set them up, my WiFi router was interfering giving me some "pops", but after I changed the channel on the WiFi it went away. The system was also very easy to program into my Harmony One.
The DVD/CD player is amazing, five disk holder is very convenient. The best part is watching a movie in Blu Ray, the quality of the sound really shines here. I have a PS3 so that is why I opted out of the more expensive Sony BDVE500W 5.1-Channel High-Definition Blu-ray and DVD Disc Home Theater System (Black) , but if you do not have a bluRay I suggest checking out the linked product, it is virtually the same system with a bluray play integrated, at the moment it is $200 more.
Important NOTE: I noticed some confusion about connecting peripherals and a HDTV to this system, I would like to explain how I achieved this buying only one extra cable (two if you intend to use the built-in DVD player). If you have an HDTV and all of your components are already hooked up, it is very simple, use one optical audio cable out from your TV to the receiver and then configure your TV to support 5.1 surround sound, usually in the audio menu. There is no need to run additional optical audio cables from your PS3 or cable box etc, if you are using HDMI to your TV, there is no difference in sound quality. If you are using the intergraded DVD player then you have run a HDMI cable from the receiver to your TV.
Again, there is no noticeable difference between HDMI and optical audio, in fact technically HDMI provides better sound. So it only necessary to use one optical cable from the TV to the receiver.
 Great product...Worth for money spent... February 19, 2010

Great sound quality with less wires...We were expecting atleast the rear speakers would be completely wireless..Little disappointed when we came to know that we have to run wires between rear speakers via S-AIR..Only S_AIR is wireless..No wires from main unit to S-AIR(rear speakers)..Would be very nice if all speakers are wireless...
