The LS-V501 might be slightly more expensive than some of its rivals (you can find full 5.1 systems for less) but justifies its price tag with awesome build quality, a generous feature list and refined sound quality that benefits from Onkyo's years of audio experience. It also looks great, proving that lifestyle oriented products don't have to compromise on performance. The only niggle is the ineffective virtual surround, but if you want 5.1-channel sound then buy a 5.1-channel system - otherwise treat yourself to one of the best 2.1 systems on the market.
