For a bit of fun, I've uploaded a clip of what I was getting some 3 years ago or so - this was from a well made Philips Home Theatre all-in-one system - internal quality about that of NAD units - which was discarded by a member of the family. Unfortunately, my recording setup was very primitive, a Fuji camera with poor signal to noise ratio, bad automatic gain control that overloaded far too easily - I tried to get a flavour on how the system sounded many times, but the recording was usually unsatisfactory.
Anyway, I just went through listening again to some of those attempts, which make sense to my ears - here is one that conveys the ability of that configuration to project a "full" soundstage, from well outside the playback room:

Update: for those not into classical, here's a grab of a bit of blues guitar playing through that system during the same period:
