I am more than happy with this system.
I use it with my laptop, TV and Xbox.
It has plenty of inputs and the system is the most value for money system I could find.
There will be several who would agree to go for an AVR but any AVR will use more electricity and heat up like crazy. and my requirements were just like yours.
I wanted good sound for my TV and XBOX. So instead of AVR I went for this system.
I have recommended this to few of my friends and 2 of them actually bought it after they heard it at my place.
This is one of those systems which you won't find on demo at stores. Neither do computer peripheral shops stock it.
The price is very fluctuating as per dollar price. So not many ppl keep it in stock.
I find the quality very good and clear. It does not kill the fun when you punk up the knob.
Probably the best 5.1 system with digital inputs at this price point. "Go for It"
