'VERY POOR'
Weaknesses:
It did not work
Overall:
I've waited 1 month for one and when it came it had a fault. I am still waiting for a replacement after 2 months with no sign of ANY RECOMPENSE

'POWER, DRIVE AND WARMTH - IMPROVES SOUND AND VIDEO'
Strengths:
The thing that hits you first is power that comes out of your speakers and the vivid images that are produced from video. I was amazed by how much brighter the images from my plasma were, and also how much greater the contrast was. From a sound point of view, dynamics were particuarly improved creating a better 6.1 surround sound, which is how I have my music setup, and there was also an improved natural warm sound.
Weaknesses:
I did notice a slight over enhancement in colour reproduction from my plasma screen, something the screen has been dismayed for, but nothing major and a small price to pay for the block's positive qualities. This also led me to the conclusion that other equipments flaws might be made more noticeable from using this, but I don't know for sure, so decide for yourselves what you think the right thing to do is.
Overall:
excellent value for money, better build than one pictured - a significant boost all round for all you home cinema nuts out there!!
