You would be much better off with something from BIC America or Fluance in that price range. These are legitimate companies that are known for there great value and great customer service/support. Obviosuly They have to cut some corners to offer speakers that the prices they do, (ie. 1/2in mdf cabinets, vinyl laminates) but they do not try to pass them off as "high end" or post outrageous msrps to make you think that they are something they are not. However, they will blow any speakers from a home theater in the box package out of the water. Cnet reviewed the $250 5 peice fluance set and it gave it the editors choice award. Anyone else have recomendations for a budget speaker system? Anyone heared of Dogg Digital speakers? Exactly the same as the Theater Research, just a different badge. Even the web sites are identical. Compare DoggDigital.com with the Theater Research website. They also go by other names, paradyme (paradigm knock off) is one that comes to mind. Ive read stories of people openeing the cainets of these chinese import white van speakers to discover that there are no crossovers at all, and some of the drivers are not even connected. This is a total scam. They do not care about satisfying customers, if they did they wouldnt change the compaines name everyweek and provide false business cards and phone numbers.. not to mention.. They wouldnt sell them out of the back of vans and on ebay!
