User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great product for the $, would buy again
Ordered these speakers in January and received them a few weeks later due to a backorder. These were step 1 of my plan to upgrade my old Sony 5.1 system I purchased in 2001. So far I am really pleased with my purchase! The build quality and sound are MUCH better than the speakers in my old setup. I know they aren’t sounding their best (haven’t updated the receiver yet) but still they provide a very noticeable improvement. I currently only have them hooked up to run 5.1 with my PS3 or XBox 360. I cant’ stress enough how much of an improvement these speakers were over my tiny, outdated, Sony speakers. If given the chance I would order them all over again. Now I just need to get my receiver!
On a side note they were a little larger than my wife expected, and she had a hard time adjusting to them being on the entertainment center. If size is a concern for you, I would advise grabbing a measuring tape and making sure they will fit your room setup.
5 Stars Incredible
This speaker system is outstanding. I hooked it up to my Onkyo (5.1) receiver and it blows you away. Movie dialogues come out clear and when the fight scene begins hang on to your chair, I am saying goodbye to the $10 movie tickets. Overall the base is superb, sometimes you don’t even need the subwoofer. As for music the radio sounds great (dependent on signal) and the mp3 player even better. The speakers are on the larger side, but if you don’t care about that, go for it. Best value for your money.
5 Stars Onkyo 540
The product was the best I could find for the money and have not been at all dissappointed…. They sound great and are big enough to supply a full range of sound.. I was a skeptic when it came to a 7.1 speaker system for the cost after looking at the price of all others… luckily I came across these in a review right before buying a 5.1 system…. I’m running these from a Denon 789 Receiver… I hope this helps someone with making a decision…. I know how hard it is to buy just speakers and worry if you are getting the right stuff.
5 Stars Would buy again; excellent quality for the price
For the price of these speakers, five stars is a rating well deserved. These Onkyo speakers are well constructed and solid. The sound quality is excellent when watching movies. When listening to music, I must admit that I am not as impressed with the sound quality. This is still not a complaint considering the price of these speakers. I do continue to be impressed with their quality of sound as a home theater system. If you’re looking for the best of the best sound, you’d be advised to look and pay for high end speakers. If you’re looking for close to high end sound on a budget, then these are your speakers.
A few extra points:
The bass sounds life like. Many times have I looked out of my window looking for a truck in my driveway only to realize the bass has fooled me again.
The speakers seem to handle the range of any of the sound effects thrown their way.
The speakers look sharp, and they seem to be of solid construction.
Oh, did I mention that these speakers can’t be beat for their price?
4 Stars Love the sound
My prior system did not have a powered subwoofer and had a total of six speakers. The additional two side speakers, which my audio system can handle, makes the sound of movies awesome.
