Opinions Please Sony RHT G800

[BluMonkey]

Took my Sony Platinum Dream system back to costco yesterday as DVD was clicking ... bought it from them in 2005 and as per their great warranty I got a full refund of £1275 yey ...

I'm investing some of the cash in a PS3 80gb once Ive talked my mate in Canada into posting it on to me ...

Anyway ... as my Cinema doesnt need anymore spending on it I thought I'd update my living room ...

Don't want to mess about with wires etc thats why I built the cinema ...

I was in costco and saw they have the new Sony RHT G800 TV stand/surround sound unit and wondered if anyone has one and what they think ... costco Uk retail them @ £469.98 inc VAT which is very cheap.


S-Force® Pro Front Surround Sound : By using a powerful 100% Digital Sony S-Master® amplifier and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, realistic Surround Sound can be generated from just two front speakers. Unlike other “virtual surround” technologies, rear sound is generated from the front two speakers using sophisticated Digital sound processing and does not need to be bounced off of side walls. No matter what the size or shape of the room or what’s on the wall, it’s possible to hear sounds from behind you without needing to place speakers behind you.

S-Master® Digital Amplifier : Best in accuracy using a Digital-to-Digital process. Clear separation of signals and balanced sound reproduction.

Built-in Twin Subwoofer : Twin subwoofers produce powerful bass sound. Its unique vibration canceling system eliminates unwanted vibration.

HDMI™ Active Intelligence : Powerful HDMI™ connectivity combined with Active Intelligence offers automatic detection of optimal video and audio signals from all connected components with convenience of a simple one wire connection.

Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) Support : LPCM is a method of encoding information digitally which can have up to 8 channels of uncompressed audio. This wider band width allows for high Resolution audio which is closer to the original.
