All BS aside, I used to have a set of Jensen HTIB speakers that came with a 8" 100 watt sub that I bought for $100 at Sears (before I got the bug) and for what they were, they didn't sound that bad... No, I am not comparing these to high end speakers or saying someone should run out and buy them, but for a basic bedroom (where I used them) they were adequate and the cost was excellent. Plus, I used the that sub with my M&K speakers up til 7 months ago, when I finally saved enough for a nicer unit.
