Strength:
Price. Pretty fair surround speakers.
Weakness:
The sub. Got this as a gift for christmas. Sounded like a good deal, with the 100w sub and all. Actually, for $100 it was probably worth it. The surround speakers are really not too bad. I ended up using two of the speakers on another cheapo stereo instead of the really terrible speakers that came with it, and they really did sound much better. On my surround system I use some good Polk Speakers for the fronts, the AS surrounds for the rears. I use the AS center too. It is Fairly good. The sub is really the weakest link, in my opinion. It may be 100w, but if you go over about 1/2 volume, the thing overheats and turns off until it cools a bit. SOund wise, the sub is weak. It is pretty loud but it is not quality sound. It has very thin walls and is ported so it is uncontrollably boomy. In fact, I have actually stuffed a sock into the port which makes it much more musical (although still not great, which is typical for a cheap sub...) I have also replaced the plastic feet with spikes, which also helps with some of the booming resonance. |

Strength:
Well made, gold plated hookup's, sub came with patch cord. Sat's have brackets included. Dual drivers in Sat's .3/4 tweeter and 4" mid woofer.
Weakness:
none yet impressive system for a starter set, can't go wrong with this group of speakers at this price. I brought this HT system for a friend and have not finish putting everything in place, but for what I have heard I very happy for him. This system is the one with the 8" 100 watt sub, but still have the LS300 center and sat's. Picked it up on ebay for a steal and I am sure after mounting and fine tuning the speaker placement it will rock his family room. I have matched it up with a Pioneer VSX D309, another great starter unit. Similar Products Used: Optimus pro X77's and LS30's, Cheap RCA's (single divers) |

Strength:
Great Price!
Weakness:
None at this price. I decided to venture into Home Theater and I got an awesome Technics SA-DA15K receiver. I needed a set of home theater speakers to go with it. I wanted something with good sound, but not too expensive. |
