 Great sounds for the price December 11, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
These speakers look and sound great. For the price, I am very pleased with my purchase. The left, right, and center channels look awesome hung next to my flat screen on the wall. I purchased Onkyo speaker stands ( which were made specifically for these speakers) for my rear channels. Even the speaker stands are very attractive. The sub woofer was a bit larger than I expected, but it sure does shake the house. Great buy!
I love them too! February 5, 2007

Although I don't have much to add compared to the other reviews, I wanted to chime in to indicate I think these are great speakers for the price. I've had them installed in my home theatre in my basement for the last two years. Hooked up to an Onkyo AV receiver and DVD player, Xbox, and Cable TV, I have been very happy with the sound. I'd consider myself an "average" homeowner. I've got a 42" plasma TV kind of a setup. Unless you are VERY selective about your sound, I think most anyone would be very happy with these speakers. The subwoofer seems to be of high quality... I noted at that time (2 yrs ago) that this seemed to be a point of weakness with some other speaker sets -- folks weren't happy with the highs & lows of some home theatre speakers. These seem to perform very well with the full range in my opinion... again, from the point of view of an "average" person.
Can't beat these speakers for the price! January 15, 2007

These speakers look sexy and of quality built, even the subwoofer is of elegant design and a pleasure to look at.
I have them connected to an Onkyo TX-SR804 and right out of the box the sound did not impressed me but with a little bit of tweaking I was more than happy with my new speakers. The subwoofer delivers well-defined and punchy lows. The mid and upper frequencies are clear and crisp.
I listen to a wide range of music and these speakers have delivered all that I was hoping for; classical and jazz sound reproduction is outstanding. Action movies and video games sound is really nice as well.
Bottom line: awesome sound but need a little tweaking, beautiful aesthetics. I don't think you can buy better speakers for less than 2-3 times of what you are paying here.
 High Quality for a Low Budget April 1, 2008

I have had these speakers for a few days and they work great now that I have my system set up correctly. I have an Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) receiver and a PlayStation 3 80GB which I use to play blu-ray movies.
For several days I was quite disappointed with the surround sound. To get the speakers to perform I used a CD player and set my 805 to "All Stereo". The speakers filled the room with sound. They sounded really good, but obviously lack the rich bass of larger speakers. That's why I didn't give them 5 stars.
I wasn't too happy with my purchase at this point. Surround sound was still very weak. The back speakers were barely audible in THX or Dolby Cinema mode and I certainly didn't feel surrounded by sound. Having read many other reviews, I suspected my PS3 settings were incorrect. The audio output was set to Linear PCM like everyone said. However, there is another deeply hidden menu under Sound Settings | Audio Output | HDMI. The system defaults to Automatic mode which sets the system to two channels. You must select Manual and then the highest Linear PCM 7.1 settings.
Once I set that, I was practically blown out of my chair. I put on the blu-ray version of Pearl Harbor and went to the attack scene. The room shook and I could hear the deep rumble of the planes shooting across the room. The sound is comparable to being in a modern movie theater. Now I am very happy with my purchase of these speakers.
It Sounds Better than BOSS.. August 18, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I own this speaker system and I LOVE IT!!!
I think it sounds better than Boss system or at least same level with the Boss but at low cost.
You don't need to buy expensive & fancy sound system. If you get this, I don't think you will regreat it.
Only thing that I don't like is that cleaning clothes parts (the black parts are not plastic or whatever. it is very thin fabric. Therefore, you might need to take it easy when you clean or dust) of the speakers. Overall, you will be happy of this speakers and it will look very nice in your livingroom... :)
