The AS730ST is great! I bought it for the wireless rear speakers and wasn’t disappointed. The whole system fits well with my Samsung TV and Blu-ray player. It has a lot of automatic features that make it work seamlessly with the player and HDTV. I am totally satisified with it.

I got this to match my recently purchased Samsung LCD and BD units. Thought it would work seamlessly with them but I was very dissapointed. I must have cussed more the day I tried setting this thing up than I have in a long while. I eventually ended up with an acceptable compromise on setup but then poor sound sync via HDMI, sound clipping via optical cable and basically “mushy” acoustics decided the units fate. My wife told me to take it back in the interest of domestic tranquility.
Samsung need to get their act together on sound systems. The LCD and BD I have of theirs are first rate, but I am now considering a Sony speaker bar or waiting until Samsung come out with something that actually works for people instead of ticking them off. Even the latest Samsung speaker bar which I have considered appears to cause unhappiness. Get your act together Samsung.

ORDERED SYSTEM BECAUSE IT WAS WIRELESS. mANUAL SAYS NOTHING ABOUT WIRELESS AND SAMSUNG SAYS IT’S NOT WIRELESS BUT BOTH THEIR SITE AND AMAZON SAYS IT IS.

My subwoofer died after getting hot and burning the electronics. I shipped the subwoofer back to them (at my expense) and they promised to ship a replacement in 5 business days. Now, more than a month later they want me to ship the entire system back to them before they will send a replacement. I am not inclined to take everything apart, be without a sound systems for some undetermined period of time, and then have to wire everything back together again. I only need a subwoofer. I have spoken to their Executive Customer Relations department twice and they are not willing to cooperate.
I just recently bought all Samsung (LCD TV, BluRay player, and HT) but I will not buy Samsung again.

Tired of reading all the negatives about this system. I actually own one and I have to say that I was very impressed with the sound system. I had tested many systems prior to the purchase. My interest was first sparked at a CircuitCity (now defuncted except online). They were playing Pirates of the Carribean on Blu-Ray and I was mesmerized by how authentic and crisp the sound and bass sounded. I really like the speaker and receiver.
So it has been at least +1 year and I also have another Yamaha receiver with Klipsch speakers. I can say that I still highly recommend the Samsung. I like the Klipsch speakers but I did not care for the Yamaha Receiver RXV465.
