D Dbaby Audiophyte Dec 31, 2016 2 0 3 39 Jan 1, 2017 #3 The SP-PK52FS come in a 5.0 theater package. Will that make it a good/solid 5.1 system with the receiver and sub I picked? Are there better speakers for the price? Last edited: Jan 1, 2017 Reactions: lovinthehd

They are all very proportionate to each other, so its a good bang-for-the-buck system. There are other good speakers for the price. The Sony Core series is supposed to be very good for the price. The Philharmonic AA speakers look to be a real bargain as well.
