The ceiling in my living room is 18ft high, and yet it has no problem filling it with clear, crisp sound. Setup takes a few minutes and is pretty straight forward. It has several presets ("Sound fields") ; Standard, ClearAudio+, 3D-surround, Movies, Sports, Music. While I use the 3D-sound setting for blockbusters (and its more than adequate), I prefer ClearAudio+ for most everything else. This system shines best with a high quality source. Don't expect it to magically transform your 128kb/s mp3s. The firmware offers lots of connectivity, but there's certainly room for improvement. That said, Sony designed it to be as invisible as possible; once you configure it to your needs you should not have to see the interface again. The subwoofer is quite powerful, and bass is mostly tight but I've heard better. Thankfully the remote has separate relative volume control for the subwoofer so you can adjust it on the fly.
All in all, you can't really expect more from a single box+woofer.
