I give this a 5 for a simple reason: convenience. Could I part these out and find comparable options cheaper? Probably. Don't care! My time is valuable, and I KNOW that what I'm getting from Aperion will be worth it.

The simple convenience of getting all this in one package was too good to pass up. I wish there was a slight discount when you purchase an entire 5.1 setup, but I'm not gonna cry over it.

The materials are top notch, and everything you could want is included. A must buy if you're like me and, after spending a month researching speakers, you don't want to spend even MORE time on something silly like what brand of banana plugs you're gonna use. Just throw this in and call it a day!

I'd never used banana plugs before but they were pretty easy to install and now I never have to worry about them again. The only reason I have this kit a 4 rather than a 5 is that they are kind of expensive, but I figured it's a one-time expense so what the hell. And I'm totally happy that I did. I like knowing that I have nice cables and if I ever have to unplug anything, it's a snap.
