The subwoofer is the same one Panasonic uses on its $300 HTIB (6.5" woofer with a 'customer facing' 10" passive radiator). All speakers are plugged into and powered by the receiver/BD unit.
For a HTIB, it sounds OK, but for $1000 USD, you could buy a $400 BD player or PS3, and have $600 left over for a receiver and speakers (for example, one of the Onkyo or Yamaha HTIB systems with a REAL receiver, powered sub, and decent speakers).
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.

Not a good value.
