The speakers??? The amp is good. Well worth the money and you will be content until... you have more money for a high-end amp. It is unlikely you`ll ever use it to it`s full potential if you have any kind of respect for your neighbours or whatever. Ideally you need a dedicated room in a detatched house (allthough much harder to come by) While on the subject I own a DSP-A595a(the older edition) What is the difference apart from the facia and display?

The main differences are :
(1) The internal DAC is now a 24-bit/96kHz job (2) DD 5.1/DTS decoding/processing now done courtesy of the chipset from the DSPA1
Completely agree with the `not releasing its full potential` line - I really wanna let rip, but the neighbours only seem to go to the pub on a Friday night when I`m, er, in the pub !
However, when I have let rip, I`ve taken half the street with me - my house is now open-air !
Great amp. I bought it untried and untested virtually on release (after an unsuccessful mad scramble to find a cut-price 595A knowing the A5 was coming out) - best gamble I`ve ever had !!!
