Great sound for the price, nice size for compact area, comes with mouting brackets/stands

Integrated brackets are a little clumsy, sub woofer is only adequate, only goes down to 35 HZ.

I was shocked at how much better these speakers sound compared to the Bose set-up. The center stood out the most- I heard things I never knew were there! The sub is good for me but will be disappointing for those that really like to BOOM. But it does a nice job- Phantom Menace shook the house! I'd highly recommend this set up for anyone looking for maximum value for a full featured, quality setup under $500 (I got this from Consumer-direct.com for just under $500 including shipping).

Clear, Crisp and Rich Sound. Great for Music and Movies.

This is a wonderful system. I just got this system after reading the reviews. I really thank these guys who had put up these reviews. It sound fantastic and it suited my budget. Intially when I ordered with jandr they did not have the center channnel speakers so I asked them to ship without one so that I can buy a much powerful center channnel. I bought Acoustic Research SC2 in consumer-direct.com and the system blends so well with it. I was about to buy Bose, but guys please do not make that mistake.

My setup.
4 AR Edge Speakers (Front and Surround)
SR SC2 Center Channel
AR PS112 Sub (Which is more than enough)
Onkyo TXDS595.
Apex DVD Player.

Initially I did not setup my DVD for Digital audio but once I connected and played the movie in DTS mode, it was wonderfull.

Please buy AR Speaker cables available in BestBuy and Monster Cable for Subwoofer connections. Please do not buy any other cheap cables especially for the Subs.

Both COsumer direct and J&R are very good stores they take care of the customers very well. Since they delayed the shipment they gave me a very good discount and 2 day shipping.

Great Room Filling sound

Not the best looking speakers

Excellent Value, for only $398+tax I've got a room full of sound.
Dumping my $2,000 Bose system, I'd say this is just as good.
Excellent surround effects, DVD movies come alive, Subwoofer
produces clear sounds, unlike bose. Even though all the speakers are the same the center chanel seems to hold out fine when I turn it up as loud as I can stand the system playing. Very easily mounted on the walls, you can position them anyway you like. I'm very impressed with the value and the quality. This one is a keeper. So get one!!
Hooked up to a JVC RX8000.

speakers are mountable anywhere. Come with own brackets.

all speakers are the same...maybe that's not a weakness.

Thanks to the first review, I ended up purchasing from the same dealer when I couldn't find it for less than 580 anywhere else.

They shipped my speakers in 2 days, and I just asked for standard transportation.

The speakers sound awesome. I've tested with DVD's, audio cd's, and the like..clarity is defined...real sharp on the higher frequency, and the bass is solid from the sub. The bottom of the Sub is hollow so you can face the woofer in any direction.

Sound, price, a great value.

Not the most aesthetically appealing speakers on the market...

This is my first venture into the home theater world, paired up with a Pioneer VSX-D509S, it sounds great. My friend has a Jamo Apollo System (similarly priced) and my system beats his system in all aspects (his speakers look kinda cool tho)!!!
