I have the 6.1 version of this system and after over 3 years, I enjoy it as much as the day I got it, no problems. Great crisp sound, 1000 watts if I need it, etc. I have no docking station, though but do not need it.
Onkyo is a smart way to go.
All good EXCEPT need to use extra DIGITAL cable for audio. This thing does not DECODE audio data from the HDMI port... A real deal breaker in my eyes. Have to go to the higher HT-S6100 at least to get the HDMI to do all its supposed to.... Decode Audio-AND-Pass-thru Video
