Buying Coby CSP96 300-Watt 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System (Black)
I agree with most of the reviews about this item. I would like to first state that I am a musician and feel pretty confident in my audio prowess. But I have to review these from a consumer perspective. I should also consider the cost of this system as well as the application.
I could have lived with the speakers on my TV, but the added lift and fullness that these bring is very nice. I currently have only hooked up the center, left front, & right front due to the size of my living room. But the system is WAAAAAYYYY loud enough. It's such a boost that I have to barely turn the volume knob up to just above all the way off and it gives plenty of sound. I have yet to drop in a really thunderous action flick yet and tried it, but I live in a 2nd floor apartment, so I want to keep my neighbors happy. But I can tell, just from the ultra-low level that I have been playing them at, that this system will kick. For the price, I was thoroughly impressed. The sub-woofer is not thumping, but it gives a nice deep aspect to the overall sound. Unless you are a hard core, die-hard home theater buff and you have a huge visual system already in place, this audio system is great. I have had these for a week and have been nothing but happy with them. They were crazy easy to set up. The speaker wires are color coded so that you know which speaker goes to which connection on the back of the sub. We were watching "Up" the other night and even with only those three speakers, the directionality was very nice. When the character was on the left side of the screen, there voice came out of the left speaker a lot stronger. I was impressed by that. Maybe some more hard core audiophiles would laugh, but hey, I'm a family man who is happy to get rid of the tinny, thin sound of my LCD speakers.Get more detail about Coby CSP96 300-Watt 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System (Black).

Buy Audiovox AW825 Portable Wireless Outdoor Speaker (Bronze)
No this indoor/outdoor speaker does not sound as good as my high-end Klipsch set but it does sound good. No static or crackly interference, the sound transmission is clean and smooth. Setup is a snap and the onboard controls are ample. You can put the satellite receiver on zone 2 or your receiver, on the headphone jack of your PC/laptop or Xen/iPod. Range is my only complaint with this speaker. 150-ft is a hard limit and I question if I can even really go that far. Too many walls in between the satellite base and the speaker also causes problems. I can't speak to battery life as I've only used the AC input on the speaker so far. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase.Get more detail about Audiovox AW825 Portable Wireless Outdoor Speaker (Bronze).

Purchase Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)
Amazing speaker. I bought this sub because of the other reviews from buyers and they are all true. I installed it in less than 30 minutes, it sounds great and I can't turn it up over minimum due to an apartment setting. Of course, I intend to use it to its full potential soon, but for right now I will have to mention that it is sufficient for my needs even at 1/4 volume. If I turn it up past that I have to worry about knocking stuff off of the neighbors' walls. Probably one of the best purchases in value for money. In short- buy this sub, you will love it.Get more detail about Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black).
Order Sony SSF-5000 Floor Standing 3-way Speaker (Pair)
I have been looking for a pair of 3-way speakers comparable to the old Technics with 12" woofers I had as a teenager. I must say these Sony speakers are awesome and sound just as good as them old Technics. Hook up a 12" sub woofer along with them and WOW! If you are looking for some awesome sounding speakers at a low cost look no further, you will not be sorry.Get more detail about Sony SSF-5000 Floor Standing 3-way Speaker (Pair).

Where To Buy Cables Unlimited Audio Unlimited SPK-VELO-4KIT Premium 900Mhz Wireless Indoor/Outdoor 4 Speaker System (Black)
I was introduced to these speakers by my bestfriend. We were having a party and we wanted to lock our rooms, but that is hard to do when that is where all our music comes from. With these speakers, we were able to create a playlist on Itunes and place the speakers around the house. It worked wonderfully because each speaker has volume control so we could make it loud in the dancing areas, while making it soft background noise int eh areas where we just sat and talked. I would recommend these speakers to everyone. I will probably get my mom a pair for her swimming pool this coming summer.

Shop For HiFi Works 30020 HFW 6.5-Inch Rock Speakers (Pair)
I purchased these rock speakers in the summer and they performed quite well. They output a lot of sound when needed and blend it perfect in my flowerbeds. I was lucky enough to have an an old satellite wire coming thru the outside of my living room I didnt use anymore and was able to fish the wire inside the house. I havent used them since october so im not sure how they hold up in the elements. Other reviewers have said they have had no problems with the speakers withstanding wet/stormy weather. I didnt set my expectation bar high in other words I knew I wasnt buying bose, or JBL but these get the job done. The one thing reccomended when buying these is to buy extra speaker wire and wire connectors. The speaker wire connected to these is only about 2 feet long.Get more detail about HiFi Works 30020 HFW 6.5-Inch Rock Speakers (Pair).

Polk Audio PSW110 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) Top Quality
So I moved to a much smaller apartment with thin as hell walls. I had to ditch my uber home theater gear in favor of more room and neighbor friendly products. I had already snagged the Polk sats for a smoking deal locally, but needed some subtle bottom fill. Enter the Polk 10".
Like most I read the reviews of the cheaper model and the pricier ones. Having experience and knowing how to interpret online reviews I went with this one. It's exactly as I expected, maybe a tad larger than I hoped, but that's it.
I set it up and let my Yamaha do it's auto calibrate. I did this with the sub set to 50% volume (using LFE input too). When it was done I gave it a listen. For the volumes I can use safely play in my place, movies and music sounded great. Plenty of low end grunt for both.
For everyday use I set the sub level down to 25% to truly achieve a non floor vibrating subtle low end fill. No complaints yet and it's not any louder than any of my neighbors jam gear. Again, no vibration into the floor and when walking all over the apartment as well as outside I wasn't hearing any of the long standing waves pummeling the air.
Quite happy with this budget, low power bachelor life subwoofer.Get more detail about Polk Audio PSW110 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black).
Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (Set of Six, Black) This instant
Speakers deliver sound of a more expensive set with the price tag of an economy set. These speakers are far from economy and will satisfy those in the entry level market looking for more quality without breaking the bank.Get more detail about Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (Set of Six, Black).

Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25" Center Channel Speaker Immediately
I have had this center channel for about 2 years now. Simply put, you cannot match the quality of the sound from this unit for the money. Sure, you can drop $400 on something else (get what you pay for). But unless you put this speaker side by side with the high end units you won't hear a difference.
My opinion is this; if your receiver is under $500, this is a great CC for you. If you are dropping a TON of dough on the receiver, the step up the center.
Other wise, enjoy what Sony does so well... great quality mid-line equipment!!Get more detail about Sony SS-CN5000 Dual 5.25" Center Channel Speaker.
Yamaha YAS-71BL Front Surround System (Black) Best Quality
I really don't make it a habit of reviewing products, but I am so pleased with this pseudo-5.1 sound system, I thought I would give the accolades it deserves. The sound is powerful, and loud. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I find the dialogue in the movies to be crisp and clear. I was hesitant to buy this system, because of a lack of HDMI switching, but the optical and coaxial cables suit me fine (granted I bought a universal remote, that now does all the switching for me). My PS3 never sounded better, and the high gloss finish looks beautiful. I was initially looking into the Sony HT-100, but after listening to it at Best Buy, I was very disappointed. So I had to start from scratch, until I ran across this soundbar system on Amazon. I'm not a technophile, but I do know what sounds good, and this is a great deal at under $300.Get more detail about Yamaha YAS-71BL Front Surround System (Black).
