My Review

   Just let me say that I've had an awesome experience with the DS staff.  I'm talking everything from help with configuring my system to setting it up once it arrived.  There is still an issue with the sound (for some reason my center speaker and subwoofer won't produce).  Randy from tech support spent a huge amount of time on the phone but we couldn't get it resolved.  Overall, though the system is awesome.  I haven't spent much time with it yet and am still configuring things but it is great.
