i just bought the onkyo hts 570 a few days ago,and it sounded good.I bought 16 gauge monster cable to replace the 22 gauge that came with the htib....HUGE IMPROVEMENT.Not only is there alot more sound at lower volume....but the sound is very very crisp now...even more so than before,and i thought it was crisp before.huge improvement,i advise anyone with a system that has thin speaker to replace it,its worth it!
