for the DS-787


Bought this item via the Net. It has performed flawlessly since I bought it. Crammed with features, extras and with gobs of usable power. Excellent backlit remote. Ton's of listener presets (if you value those kinds of things). Well laid out. Speaker outs don't take all kinds of banana plugs though and they are too close together to allow for easy use of bare wire. An excellent product that can be found online cheaper than list.


Product Weakness: Speaker outputs too close. Heavy, deep, won't fit in all cabinets.
Product Strengths: Versatility, ease of use, power, features etc...
