The speaker system gives great sound at a fair price. The subwoofer produces more bass than you could ever need. The size of the speakers allow you to place them almost anywhere you want (even mounted as the mounts are included). This system gives us great sound with our DVD's, our HDTV, and our CD's. We think we made a good chose.
Great System
I had been looking to expand my home theater system for quite a few months when I came across this system. I had been looking up specs online and going into stores to see how they performed. I have a medium sized room and this system does very well. I already had to large tower speakers and was going to put two of the surround satellites in a box, but instead also bought the JVC 8030VBK receiver which can create 7.1 channel sound with any format, so instead I used them all. The subwoofer produces deep rich sounding bass very cleanly at half volume, it doesn't really distort at higher volumes, but instead tends to take over the sound field of whatever you are listening to. The satellites creates crisp and even highs throughout the room and the center channel provides really clean dialogue. The speakers also come with wall mounts and a lengthy amount of medium gauge speaker wire, which doesn't need to be upgraded and provides really easy wall installation. Overall I am very pleased with the system. Others I compared it too were the JBL 236si with the slightly larger speakers and louder subwoofer, but I found that the smaller speakers actually produced a better sound. I also compared it to the Onkyo HTS760 which almost sounded as good, but whose satellites were almost four times larger, bulkier, and uglier. I also compared it with the Sony Dream system which looked great but leaves a lot to wish for in the sound catagory. For the size, sound, look and price, this system cannot be beat. I recommend it with no reservations.

Excellent sound quality from these speakers when compared with others. The sound comes out crystal clear and does not even show distortion at higher levels.
