I’m not quite sure how JVC can get away with calling 2 speakers and a sub a home theater. In my book that is stereo. (nice boom box system welcome back to the 80’s) To have home theater it should be set up like a theater with at least a 5.1 surround sound system. I’ve never been to a theater with only front speakers. LOL! Sharp has a 5.1 Blue Ray home theater in a box out soon and I think its only $100 more than this.
