Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 Bookshelf Speaker (Single, Black) This instant
I recently sold my house and included my Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system with the media room. I researched for many days and even considered buying another Bose set. After looking at CNET reviews (Bose was not listed in the top 10), I decided to buy the Pro Cinema 800 set. But instead of the 8" subwoofer I bought the 10" subwoofer. I bought all the speakers seperately (no cost savings buying the package) including my 10" Definitive subwoofer. The satellites are a lot bigger than the Bose satellites and this helps them reproduce a fuller spectrum of sound. The sound coming from the Pro 800 are more rich and full. On the top is a passive radiator that works in tandem with the woofer to help radiate lower frequencies (these speakers are acoustically suspended). The stand on the bottom is removable and there is an included plug to cover the mounting hole if you are mounting them on wall mounts (each speaker weighs about 4 pounds). The back has binding post connectors with banana conntor receptacle (female). These speakers definitely out perform my old Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker set and cost about the same. For the money, you can't go wrong with this set.
Pros:
- High gloss finish
- Quality construction
- Passive radiator
- Rich crisp sound
- Included stand
Cons:
- Would be nice in documentation to add recommend cross over frequency with sub wooferGet more detail about Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 Bookshelf Speaker (Single, Black).
Yamaha NS-IW360C 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker System, White Immediately
This product is excellent! I am using 4 of them for a surround sound and they sound great. I was very happy with the entire purchase process it was very easy, and the delivery time was very fast the product was delivered in 3 days. I would recommend this product to anyone trying to build your own surround sound and not trying to spend a lot of money. These speakers sound great, if you can build boxes in the ceiling to put the speakers in it really helps the sound quality and also increases the bass that these speakers can produce.Get more detail about Yamaha NS-IW360C 2-Way In-Ceiling Speaker System, White.

Polk Audio Monitor 40 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black) Best Quality
In my small space I opted for Monitors all the way around including the Polk Audio Monitor Series CS1 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black), Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black) and two sets of Polk Audio Monitor 40 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black). These speakers have very good sound quality even when the sub is turned off. As surrounds, they offer clear notes, both high and mid-range, sometimes I forget they are there and turn around to look for something behind me, or the neighbors playing music, but it's just the speakers. Put them on attractive stands up front, and they offer a pretty good budget alternative to the Polk Audio Monitor 70 3-Way Floorstanding Speaker (Single, Black). They aren't the same mind you, but they are a good value when used in a smaller space or multi-use room, placed in built-ins or on a bookshelf, in an apartment/townhouse, or if you just want good sound out of a small package. These speakers have been around for decades in theory, they still have the same basic design, they've always been good quality speakers and Polk has done a good job updating the look and staying competitive.Get more detail about Polk Audio Monitor 40 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair, Black).
Samsung HT-X810 2.1 Channel Sound Bar Home Theater System Get it now!
After scouring the net for sound bars with built-in DVD, this was one of just a few with this option plus wireless sub. My big screen is Samsung, which I thought would be a bonus. Installation of the soundbar on the wall was easy and straightforward. Getting the soundbar to work was more of a challenge. The instructions were a bit confusing. When reading them, you might think that hooking up the HDMI cable (not provided) would be all that you need. Not so. Be sure that you hook an audio L and R cable from the TV to the soundbar, or you won't get sound.
In terms of the sound, I would give it a 3.5-4 out of 5. My room is about 13'X15', and the sound seems very frontal and centralized, despite the fact that the sub is 13' away on the opposite wall. The sound fidelity is good, but at times the volume is barely adequate even when cranked up. I should add that we have this in our exercise room, and wanted the soundbar so that we could hear the TV during a workout. It does nominally fit this need.
Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase, especially since we can watch DVD's without extra wires and an extra box. However, for the price, I would expect a more stellar audio experience.Get more detail about Samsung HT-X810 2.1 Channel Sound Bar Home Theater System.

TIC CORPORATION WRS010-CN Outdoor Wireless Rock Speakers (Canyon) Buy Now
They look good for outside application, rated good and reasonably priced, but they have lots of statics and the remote volume contol does not work well. it is very difficult to sync the two speakers and constantly go out of balance.
There is certainly no 2400 Mhz as was advertized!! the sound quality is bad. Overall, the "wireless" concept sounds attractive, but not practical. Get more detail about TIC CORPORATION WRS010-CN Outdoor Wireless Rock Speakers (Canyon).

Kenwood KSC-SW10 5-Inch x 7-Inch 150-Watt Max Powered Subwoofer with Remote Control Decide Now
This was installed in a Toyota Corolla under the front seat. Instructions were clear and unit is nicely made. The factory Corolla speakers consist of 2 6"X9" rear speakers, 2 front door speakers and 2 tweeters located up high next to the dash. It doesn't sound too bad but I was looking for more deep bass. This Kenwood powered sub does not fit the bill as I suspected when I bought them. They are good for mid bass but if you crank them up they will distort. I leave the volume control at about a quarter, and the frequency about half way to add some fill in. It is difficult to get low frequencies from a small enclosure and a small speaker.Get more detail about Kenwood KSC-SW10 5-Inch x 7-Inch 150-Watt Max Powered Subwoofer with Remote Control.

Lowest Price TIC GS-3 150-Watt Outdoor In-Ground Speaker
Saw these TIC speakers that cost more than my previous set. I was hesitant because of the price and wasnt sure it would be any better. I was glad I was proven wrong. They cost a bit more than some of the lost cost solutions, but the sound is excellent. My backyard is my entertainment area. The sound is amazing: full, rich. They are rather large and requires substantial burying, but the brochure within saw an excellent solution. Purchased a pot and buried them within the pot surround by plants. Wonderful!!! Purchased two.Get more detail about TIC GS-3 150-Watt Outdoor In-Ground Speaker.
Low Price ButtKicker BKA300 Wireless Home Theater Kit with ButtKicker Advance and Power Amplifier
The Buttkicker is a great addition to the home theater. This BKA-300 kit transducer is a little less than half of the power of the LFE series that packs a serious punch and is meant to shake the whole floor or stage. This kit is meant to shake your couch and does a good job. Their shakemycouch dot com (appropriate name by the way!) site explains how the kit works.
I set this up last night, set up was easy as there is not much assembly required except mounting the transducer on its platform. What was difficult was getting the transmitter and wireless receiver to talk, but a reviewer suggested a resetting tip and I was able to get them to handshake.
I think this is a great investment if you really like to get into your movies, we watched I, Robot on blu-ray last night and it felt like we were in the movie, when the machines turned on it felt like they were in the room and my couch almost jumped off the floor!Get more detail about ButtKicker BKA300 Wireless Home Theater Kit with ButtKicker Advance and Power Amplifier.

Save Dell AS501 Sound Bar - PC multimedia speakers - 10 Watt (total)
Given the limitations of its size, this is a great unit which doesn't take up any additional desktop space. I like the simple rotary on/off switch and volume control adjustment on the unit, which allows me to shut the unit off or adjust the volume without resetting the volume control sliders on the computer. Sound is well balanced, voices sound natural, and music is surprisingly good at moderate sound levels. Obviously, don't expect thumping base or a wide stereo sound field. A steal at this price.Get more detail about Dell AS501 Sound Bar - PC multimedia speakers - 10 Watt (total).
Discount Bose 151 SE Environmental Speakers, elegant outdoor speakers - White
Bose 151 SE Environmental Speakers, elegant outdoor speakers - White
I purchased these speakers as a previous customer return at a great price. They were easy to set-up, even for me, a 54 year old widow. I bought them to replace ancient tall standing speakers and think they are great. Currently I am using them in a moderately large room, they create a BIG sound. I don't notice the tinny sound that others have complained about. It is my intent to move them to my screen porch when I install a surround sound system, for which my house was pre-wired. This, and all my previous experiences with Bose Speakers (computer speakers are also owned by me) has been great!Get more detail about Bose 151 SE Environmental Speakers, elegant outdoor speakers - White.
