My Less Than $200 Speaker System

[Mark of Cenla]

I recently bought a pair of Dayton Audio Classic B40 bookshelf speakers that I pair with Rockville 8 inch subwoofer. They cost me about $180, and they sound great to me. Did any of you find new, cheap speaker system that you like? Peace and goodwill.

I've heard cheap speakers (made in China) that sounded decent with subwoofers - sounded at least as good as many "Pro speakers" and other relatively inexpensive speakers.

I think the key is having good bass, which the subs can fix.

Would they subjectively sound better if they had pretty cabinets that cost $2K? Probably.

Would they subjectively sound even better if they had both $2K cabinets and FR that is +/-2dB? You bet!
