Final Thoughts

The pros and cons of Genius SW-HF5.1 5000 audio system are given here.

Pros

• Huge dimensions, particularly subwoofer, but satellites are rather impressive.

Genius SW-HF5.1 5000 is a really honest mid-end audio system that executes rather remarkably for its price. It must do for most average users, particularly the ones hooking it up with DVD players and turning it into a home theater. It is sufficient for watching Dolby AC-3 movies.

Alternatively, audiophile freaks must recognize that this multimedia system is not newest and greatest. So, we cannot say that it could substitute professional systems and such. Though, if you spend some time to fine tune it for your requirements, it can exceed your expectations, assuming you have right tools and skills.

Generally, we are handing out a joint 7 points out of 10. We deducted 3 points because of need of internal bass management, small to mediocre distortions based on volume and kind of tones and frequency range, and we also lost equalizer. It is option for people wanting a decent 5.1 system without inadequate to give hundreds of dollars. You find it a deal as an OEM.
