this is a great great bit of kit. i am very very pleased with my purchase.
Its beautifully made using top quality components meaning it feels like something you would find in a Mercedes S-Class. Sadly the remote doesn't quite match the box but for the price you pay its very easily forgiven.
I won't bore you with how easy it is to setup or its excellent connectivity, lets go to the most important bit, how it sounds! I am bi-wiring q acoustics 2020 speakers using a good quality silver plated cable and I can report the sound is incredible. Its rich but detailed, powerful but delicate, the sound stage it multi-multi-mulfaceated meaning you hear every element of a track in tremendous detail. It really is impressive and i thoroughly recommend bi wiring.
ipod sounds good too, i recommend using a dock and going through the bottom not the 3.5jack. i am using the very basic cam audio iD10 and its sounds good though i think it could be a lot better, will replace that later.
I have chosen to bi-wire mine, but for a system that sounds this good as well as offering 2 sets of speaker at 25 watt versus 1 x 50w, you just cannot go wrong.
The 2020's are great speakers and sound fantastic but coupled with the outstanding marantz 502, I can't help but think it (the 502) has got a lot more to give. Running a set of b&w's would take it to the next level.
So in summary: Score 10/10 Verdict: Simply excellent
