For a first foray into HT, it's a good deal. As you probably know, I prefer to get people to buy only what they can afford and build a system piece by piece. But, if HT isn't your bag, and you just want a decent sounding system for a small amount of money, you certainly could do worse than that little Hsu system. As a bonus, it's got huge SAF due to the little bitty speakers.
It put a great big smile on my friends face. He's already told me that if he ever sells that condo, and moves into a "proper" house, I'll be hooking him up with a "real" system. He's already witnessed what a small upgrade can do.
Being in a large condo complex, a major kick butt system would really be a waste. He'd have his neighbors pounding on his door all the time.
