Low Price Acoustimass 3 Series IV speaker system - Black
got these home and experienced MAJOR distortion... after an hour of guessing i found out they wired one of the cubes wrong inside... the polarity was reversed. After fixing that whole deal, i'd say listening to them reveals pretty decent mids and highs but the bass is iffy. Sometimes it sounds just fine and sometimes it likes to be boomy. Overall the bass just doesnt cut it for me. It's decent but the measly 6.5' woofer just isn't enough to produce deep, satisfying bass. I dont listen to earth shattering bass but i like to know it's there... I'm pretty disappointed that the polarity is mixed... definitely not impressed for a product that is $200 (LOTS MORE when it first came out) but i guess that's the reputation i hear about bose products these days. Lots of marketing hype and poor quality. It sounds okay but by no means is it a "high end" audio item. I used to love BOSE products and wondered why everyone hated them... i see why now. I didnt get a chance to look at the drivers but people say they're made of paper cone... i wouldn't doubt it! Sorry bose, it didn't do it for me this time.. good thing this is for my aunt and not me, i just bought it for her and tested it out
edit*
actually after more testing, i concluded that there is not a polarity problem.. the speaker itself is indeed defective... very dissapointingGet more detail about Acoustimass 3 Series IV speaker system - Black.

Save Acoustic Research AW877 900 Mhz Indoor Wireless Speakers (Black)
I've owned three sets of these for a year. They all make this CRACK/POP sound when turning off. I keep taking them back, thinking it's defective - Nope. That's just how they are.
Keep in mind they 'turn off' whenever the volume gets low. Even a pause between commericials is enough to make them think they should turn off, so every few minutes I had to deal with that explosion sound.
Bottom line, don't waste your money.Get more detail about Acoustic Research AW877 900 Mhz Indoor Wireless Speakers (Black).
Discount Polk Audio RM6751 Satellite Speaker (Single, Black)
Got these for the extra two needed to make a full 7.1 surround for the RM6750 Polk system. Very satisfied with the speakers, and of course match perfectly the satellites that come with the RM6750 system.
Running a Yamaha RX-V765 with 95W through these using 16 gauge wire. Wonderful range and clarity. Mine did not come with any mounts, but have great molded hooks that you can use a deeper wood screw to hang if you will not need to aim them in a different direction from the wall face.Get more detail about Polk Audio RM6751 Satellite Speaker (Single, Black).

Cheapest Bose® CineMate® Series II Digital Home Theater Speaker System
After reading all the reviews (and I mean ALL!) I went shopping. I looked and listened to Denon - Boston Acoustics - Sony - Yamaha and a host of other systems in the $400 to $600 range. Didn't even consider Bose Cinemate Series II because of all the negative reviews. Well actually it ran 50-50. But after being disappointed with all of the above I decided to check the Bose system out. WOW! Sound quality was far superior as well as the build. Bought it. Installed it. I am amazed at the life like sound. You feel it not just hear it. I had JBL Control Monitors hooked up to my 60" plasma and could not even imagine this small system sounding better. But it does!
I seriously don't know what the critics are talking about.
Bottom Line: If you are looking for the best value, quality & sound for your HDTV in the $400 to $600 range, then you cannot beat this system.

Cheap Bose VCS-10 Center Channel - Speaker, home theater sound for component systems - Black
The Perfect compliment to my home theater system. I have a very basic setup, my two 3 way Bose bookshelf speakers and now this center speaker, and as Bose has always advertised, they fill the room with crisp clear, movie theater sound with only three speakers. Well worth the investment. Word of warning, a lot of people have negatively reviewed this speaker, IF YOUR HOME THEATER SYSTEMS DOES NOT HAVE A BIG ENOUGH AMP THIS SPEAKER WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. A lot of people have said that the speaker is really quiet, keep two things in mind, when setup properly a center speaker is meant to COMPLIMENT the sound of your other speakers giving you a full acoustic range, its not meant to be used as a PRIMARY speaker, also if you have it hooked up with cheap "walmart" speaker wire, don't expect the product to function to the best of its ability.Get more detail about Bose VCS-10 Center Channel - Speaker, home theater sound for component systems - Black.

Buying Polk Audio PSW111 Compact Powered 8-Inch Subwoofer (Single, Black)
I got two of these for free at my local Frys for purchasing a certain amount of Polk Audio spearkers. I was kinda hesitant of wanting these because I didn't think 8" subs would give me the sound and power that I needed. Boy was I wrong, just one sub alone really impressed me with the amount of low frequencies it produced without giving me that rattling noises. I say I got a really good deal.Get more detail about Polk Audio PSW111 Compact Powered 8-Inch Subwoofer (Single, Black).
Buy Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System (Set of Five, Black)
These speakers are fantastic. You really get the best of both worlds. Floorstanding sound that comes in a smaller package. Standing up close, I was surprised at how much of the bass was actually coming from these speakers and not directed through the subwoofer. Cranking up the volume only gets better. All the little nuances come out and these speakers really prove themselves. The only issue I have is with the front speakers. When mounted on the wall, the speaker wires prevent the speakers from being completely flush against the wall. A small groove on the back of the speakers for the wire would enable these to mount flush. This doesn't affect their performance, and basically isn't even noticeable, but if I were perfecting these speakers, that's all I would change. If your space doesn't require tiny little micro speakers, go for these. The improvement in sound quality is well worth it, while not spending too much money on high-end floorstanding speakers.Get more detail about Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System (Set of Five, Black).

Where To Buy Denon DHT-FS3 Home Theater in a Box
I appreciated the easy setup and the concept of a better quality replacement for my Visio flat panel tv speakers, but I'm afraid I was vastly disappointed by the sound quality. Difference from TV speakers was barely discernible, so I'm returning the unit.Get more detail about Denon DHT-FS3 Home Theater in a Box.

Klipsch HD 300 Compact 5.1 High Definition Theater system (Set of Six, Black)
The speakers sound great but the small subwoofer sounds boomy and distortion is audible.Finally I hooked these speakers to my old B&W ASW300 subwoofer connected with a Cambridge Audio Receiver model AZUR 540R (receiver crossover set to 120 hz) and bingo!That is why I can only give these system 3 stars!Get more detail about Klipsch HD 300 Compact 5.1 High Definition Theater system (Set of Six, Black).
Polk Audio CS10 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black) Review
I purchased the Polk CS10 center channel speaker to go with the Polk ceilings speakers, an 8" subwoofer, and Yamaha RX-V765 receiver. This speaker sounds pretty good for the price. I had Polk speakers before and had been pretty happy with them. My old Polk speakers lasted a long time and sounded great as does this one. I almost went with the CS20 but it was a little bit large for my preference and $100 more, so I went with the CS10 and it sounds pretty good. I would highly recommend this speaker for anyone on a budget.Get more detail about Polk Audio CS10 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black).
