No, its not the 5400 series I've had to pick up a few times cuz after a while the bass gets out of hand and you can't year voices



I like the denon home theater in a box setup if you don't plan on ever upgrading or don't want the expense of a proper home theater setup

Your best bet is to buy a small home theater speaker set and a receiver separately. The "box" units are never all that great. I'd get a Yamaha receiver and any of the small Energy speaker systems. I used to have an Energy "Take 5.1" system. It sounded phenomenal. It's because of that system that when it came time to upgrade, I stuck with Energy and Yamaha.
