Really Awesome For The $$$12/27/01

I purchased the DE845 almost 2 years ago after graduating high school, and I have been overly contented since the day I hooked it up. Although the LCD remote is a bit superficial and cumbersome at times, this minor flaw is easily overlooked once you pump up the volume. It has readily accepted everything I have thrown at it, and willingly reproduces distortion free music well past half volume. Fortunately I have the speakers to handle the amount of power the DE845 can blast out. For a college student on a budget, this is the perfect solution.
My system:
Front: JBL S312
Center: JBL Studio Center
Rear: JBL S38
Subwoofer: Klipsch PSW15

Awesome sub, with punchy bass!07/13/00

I bought this sub after innumerable problems with
two JBL sub\'s, and boy, this sub is totally awesome.
I can pump up the volume to 3/4 and it still shakes
the entire house with little, if any, distortion. I
have yet to push this sub to its limits for fear of
blowing my other very capable speakers(5 JBL S310\'s). I
would highly recommend this sub to anyone who doesn\'t
have a lot of money to spend but wants a decent
surround setup.

Smaller speakers with tremendous sound!07/12/00

It seems the two other reviews are rathers
assessments of the mechants they bought these speakers from
and not the items themselves. Don\'t let those bad
scores mislead you, because these are wonderful speakers
that I\'ve hooked up to my older Sony stereo receiver.
Although they can\'t be played extremely loud, the sound
these speakers produce at a louder-than-average
listening level is incredible. From the beautiful highs of
the 3/4" tweeter to the lows of the 8" woofer, and
the sound produced from the 4" midranges, these
speakers have made my study sound like a completely
different listening environment rather than a small room
with sound-deadening bookcases on all sides.
Affordable and impressive, when purchased from a reputable
merchant, these speakers are remarkable in their own right
.

An awesome receiver for the $$$07/12/00

I actually purchased the DE845 receiver (the
replacement for the 835) for $340 w/S&H from an online
retailer after doing extensive research on the various
features. Although the remote is a bit confusing when
trying to set up different components (ie DVD player, CD
changer, tape deck, satellite TV) the benefits are
astounding. This receiver, being my first, is amazing and
offers innumerable inputs/outputs, plenty of wattage
(for now), and TWO subwoofer outs (both of which are
being utilized.) For a new college student such as
myself, on a limited budget, I would highly recommend
this unit.
