Low Price Sony CMTBX50BTi Music Streaming Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System with Bluetooth Stereo (Black)

Works with all Bluetooth cell phones as long as it is A2DP. Just select connect to Bluetooth Stereo Headset on your device that you want to pair with it. I have mine streaming music from my Samsung A727 Cell phone and my Samsung P2 Bluetooth mp3 player. Sony says it only pairs with Sony cell phones and mp3 players but that's a lie. It will pair with any device with the same technology A2DP. This is the only home stereo with this capability that I know of under $600. [...] it works but was not new like they said and had a cracked case that I managed to get back together so the crack does not show too bad, but this system does it all. Worth every penny.Get more detail about Sony CMTBX50BTi Music Streaming Micro Hi-Fi Shelf System with Bluetooth Stereo (Black).

Discount iHome iH30B Boom Box for iPods with FM Radio (Black)

This would be nice for a child or quiet office but the speakers do not offer great sound quality. The ihome ipod system we have mounted in our kitchen has much richer sound than this, I'm not sure why this one sounds so tinny when it's the same brand and price range. I guess there just isn't a portable ipod player in the $50-60 range that offers great sound.

So we went up to the $100 range and purchased an Altec Lansing iM600USB Portable Speaker System here on Amazon. The Altec is exactly what we were looking for with all the same features as this radio; but offers richer sound WITH ACTUAL BASS and depth, it's sleeker looking, and has a rechargeable battery! Worth the extra money. Get more detail about iHome iH30B Boom Box for iPods with FM Radio (Black).

Cheap Polk Audio Atrium 60 All Weather Speakers (Pair, White)

Just another unhappy polk customer. I have two pairs (ugh!) of these in my backyard. All four speakers have the grills falling out of them. At the high end price they are selling these I expected more. Now I am forced to try
and jerry rig something to attempt to keep the grills in. The white speakers have a black speaker face so with the white grill off they stand out like a sore thumb. Get more detail about Polk Audio Atrium 60 All Weather Speakers (Pair, White).

Buying Bose Lifestyle V10 home theater system

This system produces superior clarity from both movies and music.
The 5.1 surround sounded like 8.1.

The adaptiq sound calibration uses a headset and the system automatically tweaks itself for
better sound quality for the room's set up, and it was very useful and accurate.


One slight issue i noticed was the video quality when i connected my cable HD box HDMI directly to its media center, compared to
the cable box connected directly to tv.I guess its HDMI pass thru problem - it creates like a "ghost" effect on HD pics.
So i used component cable going to the system instead and it fixed the problem.


Other than that, it really sounds great !!

Purchase Directed Electronics TOYSC1 Toyota/Lexus/Scion SiriusConnect Tuner Interface

The cable between the interface and the Sirius receiver does NOT have anything retaining it, and I did use the elecricians tape wrap as a fix for that problem. However the main beef I have is that while I have good radio, there is no good communication with the unit to the cars display. I have an Avalon, and while this may work well on other Toyota's (only a guess by me, of course), it won't even give me the channel number to which I am tuned. No information.. Nada.

Order Yamaha MusicCAST2 MCX-RC100BL Network Music Commander 1 - Each, Black

Hmmm ---- very enticing..... wifi-based control scheme; network sourced media: DLNA, some Internet; amplified speaker device so you don't have to run speaker wires around the house; possible use as a Universal Remote in lieu of a bolt-on RF solution

Major drawbacks, besides outrageous pricing

1/ No Pandora.com
2/ No sirius.com
3/ Requires another $500 'unitasking' device, the RC100 Commander ..... will someone PLEASE write an inexpensive ITouch app that does this remote control function over Wi-Fi? ....

Where To Buy Pyle Home PDWR33 3.5-Inch Indoor/Outdoor Waterproof Speakers

I have these out on my deck in Chicago, with no real protection over them - just a tree over one. They seem to have no problem with water, and seem heavy and well made. They sound pretty good, too - they're not as efficient (it takes some oopmh from the amp to get them up to volume), but it's not a big deal since I don't run them simultaneously with my main speakers. I'd definitely recommend them.Get more detail about Pyle Home PDWR33 3.5-Inch Indoor/Outdoor Waterproof Speakers.

Shop For Sony MZR70 Minidisc Recorder

Now that Sony has announced its' plans to revitalize this format, the MiniDisc is here to stay.

That's fine with me because I've been sold on it since the day I bought my first MiniDisc player five years ago.

Even in the extended record speeds it produces sound that blows the current crop of mp3 players out of the water.

If you care about putting 9 million hours of music on something you can put inside a pack of cigarettes, buy an mp3 player. However, if you want something that is going to sound as good as the original CD, and still allow you to put 2 or 3 hours of music on inexpensive re-recordable discs, MiniDisc is the way to go.Get more detail about Sony MZR70 Minidisc Recorder.

Velodyne MicroVee 6.5-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Black) Top Quality

This sub is result of a top manufacturer of subwoofers among the retail brands (not Internet Direct), who decides to make the smallest possible sub that is still usable. This sub has the features and quality you expect in a high end audiophile sub costing a thousand dollars or more. Velodyne knows subs...they make subs from very low end ones to flagship models costing thousands. And they sound good too.

So here comes the MicroVee. It's a NINE INCH cube. This thing is **tiny** (look at the gallery photos I posted). It has a tiny 6.5 inch high excursion driver with a heavy duty 4 lb magnet structure. 1000W of power, and a solid aluminum case with dual passive radiators. (Not to get too technical...but a passive radiator is basically a speaker driver without voicecoil. Having one enables a speaker design to be have more bass output in the deepest frequencies, giving it the characteristic that it behaves like a larger bass reflex/ported cabinet). The thing weighs 20lbs which is pretty hefty. In general it has pretty serious hardware which explains why it costs as much as some subs that are large as small refrigerators. It initially was announced with a MSRP of $999, which I can envision prompted some people to roll around on the floor laughing when they first read about it. (note: street price may be a lot less than that). The first thing they probably pointed out is that the spec reads the sub has +/-3dB down to 38Hz, which means the sub is not really putting out tones that are considered very deep bass. Most (*much* larger) subs of this price range can go as deep as 20Hz which is more felt than heard. The whole point of a subwoofer is to reproduce frequencies which are below that of normal speakers. Heck a lot of bookshelf speakers are rated down to 50Hz so 38Hz limit is not very impressive. And secondly, does anybody really need such a small sub? Velodyne's own Minivee line is only slightly larger and puts out deeper bass for about the same price or less. By the way, I measured the frequency response and they are exactly right, the -3dB point is pretty much 38Hz, it's probably down -10dB around 33Hz or so. So it would seem based on the specs that this sub is pretty pointless, and you should not even consider it especially given its high price.

Well, let me explain why I bought one. I see this sub as a subwoofer you want to use for a small secondary system, one that you put into a small den, kitchen, workout room, or with a computer system. If you look at some of the computer speakers that cost say, $200 for a 2.1 system, you'll realize that the subs in those systems are pretty much rubbish. Boomy muddy sounding bass mostly is the order the day. This is Velodyne's answer to those subs....you can have a sub as small as those cheap "computer subs", but with all the quality that a high end sub can offer. It does a good job filling in the bass that's missing from the very small satellite cube speakers, and it has the controls and set of inputs and outputs so you can integrate it into any system, from your $150 Tivoli radio, to a set of $500 NHT M-00 active pro monitors, to your $100 Logitech computer speakers or even a full blown home theater system.

I was on a mission to reduce my desk clutter, but I wanted to get serious about the sound, so I bought compact high quality active ($1300) professional monitors but I wanted a bit more kick in the bass. I didn't want a sub that took up all the floor space around my desk, and I didn't want just any sub that would drown my high quality speakers with muddy bass. So this sub was the perfect candidate. I didn't need a sub that can reproduce the feeling of an earthquake, I just wanted more foundation in the bass, it just adds a bit more bass and dynamics to the sound where the speakers start to strain in the bass. And I am happy, it does exactly that, but with good sound quality that compares to what I get with my larger sub that I run in my main home theater (I own a SVS brand sub in my other system...a well known high value brand).

This sub is very flexible. It has high level inputs to connect directly to your stereo amp, but has low level inputs with adjustable and defeatable crossover to connect to your subwoofer output on your receiver. It also has pass-through mini-jacks so you can connect your active computer speakers, and an 1/8" input minijack (with an included cable) that works easily with your iPod, computer or laptop. The other thing I like is that the front grill is actually perforated metal but covered with fabric, so if you actually kick the front grille, your foot won't go through the driver. Important if you stuff this sub under your desk.

If you don't need the smallest sub possible, then I definitely think you should look at some of the larger offerings as they offer more bass for your (probably less) money. But if you truly need a sub this small, this is as good as they come. For an alternative that is slightly larger, look at the MiniVee line, the Paradigm Ultracube or Definite Technology Supercube III which will outperform this sub, but adds an inch or two to each dimension in size. I also note that Energy has a model called ESW-M6 which is even smaller with slightly inferior specs.

All in all, I'm glad that this product exists. It gives you an option to get extra bass extension from your desktop or small room system with all the quality that you can expect from a "long termer" company like Velodyne who specializes in subs.

Yamaha HTR-6030BL 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Black) Best Quality

I was in the market for a decent home theater for my room. Im a college student living at home and working about 20 hours a week on commision so I had some money to burn. I have the whole home theater set up. HDTV, 360, but i needed some sound upgrades.

So me and my buddy go down to best buy on dec. 26th not really thinking i was going to buy a home theater system. But looking around at all the systems from 299 and up I notice this Yamaha HTIB Yamaha YHT-380BL Home Theater in a Box (Black) (Home Theater in a Box) and notice that its 299 for this reciever, five speakers and a subwoofer. This was the only HTIB that had a receiver that was under 400. I noticed that it was reguarly 400 dollars but because it was HDMI-less it was marked down significantly.

That is the only downside to this package but you get better video connecting your bluray, 360 and whatever else you have directly to your TV and then directly connecting an optical cable to the receiver from thecomponents.

This reciever is very good especially at its price. I suggest taking a trip to best buy to see if they still have the whole home theater package avaliableGet more detail about Yamaha HTR-6030BL 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver (Black).

Denon DVD-2930CI Progressive Scan DVD/DVDA/SACD Player with Realta Reon VX-50 HQV Processing Get it now!

Everything about this unit is top notch. everything except ONE THING! Almost all of them suffer from a serious manufacturing defect which is more than likely exacerbated by a serious design flaw!

I read the horror stories and choose not to pay any heed, wanting that great Burr Brown sound for my audio and that beyond great picture quality. Well, when it worked all that and more was true. BUT......... the first one I ordered shipped with a faulty laser. It coudn't read ANY discs without glitching terribly, stuttering, freezing and basically having a nervous breakdown. You could HEAR the laser having a major meltdown..... Ok, the company I purchased this one (a reliable Amazon seller, Vann's) was most helpful and immediately shipped me a new, unopened replacement unit. SAME THING, only it lasted about 3 hours, Then it went berserk with dropped audio, freezing and glitches galore. BUMMER!

Vann's again accepted my return and I will need to try another model or brand. I bought this unit strictly for the audio and when it worked, it was GLORIOUS. I have read you can replace the laser assembly but it needs to be done on a regular basis and that has GOT to be the result of a serious design flaw in the unit itself.

BELIEVE the negative reviews. If you want to buck the odds MAYBE you will get one that works for more than 3 hours out of the box, but it wont last long...... I have learned my lesson, don't let yourself be tempted by the low price. I have a 130 dollar Pioneer that plays all regions, outputs both Pal AND NTSC , does all AVI formats thru a USB jack, SACD and DVD-A and features converters ALMOST as good as this Denon. And guess what, the Pio WORKS! I was greedy and wanted that little bit extra in the audio end and blew off the bad reviews hoping I would get lucky with mine.

Lowest Price JBL ES250PWCH Wireless Powered 12-inch Subwoofer (Cherry)

I bought this to supplement my Bose Acoustimass 16 system.

First, it looks great; its cherry finish accented by the black grill. Its also not just a plane square box. The 12" driver is front firing while a port is vented down to the floor so if you have it on a hard surface, make sure you put a heavy towel or a piece of carpet under it. This will reduce the boominess.
Set up was extremely easy...I didn't even need to open the manual.
Now here's the fun part: after hooking up the wires and picking a location for the sub (preferably a corner of the room) turn it on and be impressed. The unit worked right out of the box and it sounds amazing. The bass was tight and at half volume I could feel the bass while not over powering the rest of the sound.

Cheapest Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)

Now, the SR705 is a beautiful receiver. I got one about a year ago and it was silent and clean running (warm 'though). But about 2 months ago a HUM appeared and remained no matter what I did, including disconnecting EVERYTHING except one speaker and trying every other outlet in the house and turning off everything else in the house. Everything. I sent the unit back for repair and four weeks later it came back from the factory. The HUM was still there, as loud as ever, maybe louder. I'm going to have to take it back again and probably exchange it for something else. It's unusable as is. I've researched the blogs [...] and apparently (although I didn't know it before I bought the SR705) this HUM problem has shown up on units more than a few months old. What's wierd is, the factory 'fix' didn't fix it at all. Get more detail about Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black).

Cheap Revo BWF Blik WiFi Internet Radio (Black)

I think this radio is amazing. I read many reviews and saw many people complaining about it, but I am very happy with it. It connects very quickly to the network and I'm amazed at all the stations I can get from around the world. I've lived in several different countries around the and now I can listen to my favorite stations from them while sitting in the US. I've preset some of my favorites and listen to them every day. This is a great feature (though it is too bad you can only have 8 presets from 10,000 stations). If what you want is a regular radio, I can understand this not for you, but if you want to be able to choose from thousands of stations around the world, this is a great radio. It is not difficult to program or figure out.Get more detail about Revo BWF Blik WiFi Internet Radio (Black).

Purchase Polk Audio RM 8 - Satellite speaker - 2-way

These speakers are relatively pricey for their small size (about 2.5 pounds each and about 5 inches tall) but are powerfull (125 watts) and, hence, can output quite a bit of sound. More importantly, they produce a very wide range of sounds at very high quality. From low drone to high pitch the sound is great.

In addition to their small size they also come with wall brackets that permit easy mounting. Plus, underneath, they have a standard screw mount (like most decent cameras)that permits them to be mounted on to very flexible ball based wall mounts such as the OmniMount 10.0 Black Wall or Ceiling Mount (Ea) Stainless Steel Speaker Mount. This particular mount is highly recommended for this pair of speakers as it permits perfect flexibility not only with respect to wall mounting but in permitting the user to set a very wide range of directions for their speakers.

Due to their small dimensions, weight and high quality sound output, they are ideal for use as wall mounted speakers, especially front high left/right speakers (their ability to accurately reproduce both low and high drones and pitches make them especially useful in this role).Get more detail about Polk Audio RM 8 - Satellite speaker - 2-way.

Where To Buy BOSE(R) Companion 3 Multimedia Speaker System - Graphite / Silver

......if you use your equalizer to adjust for your particular environment.

One reason that speakers sound so much different at the store from what they sound like in your home may be simply due to the differences in the acoustic environments.

Either change your acoustic environment (difficult) or simply change the equalization curve. Its a simple thing to do with iTunes; I suppose there are also equalizer applications for the PC. As long as you don't over-drive your speakers into distortion, you can easily adjust each frequency band over a 24db range with respect to all the other bands. Itunes provides for 10 band adjustments.

I have no experience with the other brands of speakers, but I would guess that the manufacture guess-tunes their system for some generic computer office environment - that's why they sound great in certain homes and not in others and as a result that's why there are many differing opinions about speaker systems. Whether or not those systems could be tuned over a similar dynamic range without distortion could be determined by thorough technical comparisons, but I suspect all speaker systems could be tuned within a similar range with similar results.

In addition, consider that each listener has a slightly different response to each audio band. WWII bomber pilots lost all of their hearing just in the 400hz range because of the continuous engine noise predominant in this frequency band.

I was able to completely remove the mid-band, make it the most prominent, etc, with simple slider controls today, so I'm not convinced that there are any significant deficiency/advantages with the Bose over the other speakers mentioned in these reviews as long as the appropriate adjustments are made.

They excell at every type of music And when I say I listen to everything I mean it, They do a perfect job from the synthesizer of the 80's and some of my favorites like the Cars and The Talking Heads to the organs of Janis Joplin and Al Green and the great sounds of Thin Lizzy the Beatles the Doors Pink Floyd and the guitars of Queen and Iron Maiden to the Indie beats of the Strokes and the electronic sounds of Ladytron to the most gorgeous voices of P.O.E and Nina Persson from the Cardigans to the trip hop beats of Portishead and even some classical like the piano in Mozarts Moonlight Sonata or the orchestra of Beethoven's 7th Symphony 2 movement to the punk rock beats of the Misfits and the Spanish acoustical guitars and beautifull voice of Ana Gabriel. All around these are very very very strong speakers I have no complaints thay have made me enjoy music all over again. With these Speakers you don't just hear the music and movies you feel it you are surrounded and immersed by it. And on top of everything they are the perfect size they fit anywhere and they are absolutely gorgeous!

Polk Audio PSW125 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Cherry) Review

I bought this subwoofer as a gift for my husband who is heavily into music, and knows what he likes in his sound quality.

It is hooked into our sound system for the TV and stereo, and we just watched "This Might Get Loud". Wow!

Bose® Acoustimass® 16 Series II home entertainment speaker system - White Top Quality

I had this product professionally installed by a home theater expert. after 30 minutes the subwoofer stopped functioning. It was determine the subwoofer was defective. On this system all the speakers route through the subwoofer through a specific Bose wiring harness so the subwoofer is the heart of the speaker system. I contacted Bose and they basically said "tough luck, contact the seller". I had to order another complete system to swap out the gigantic subwoofer. As you can imagine, this was a huge inconvenience. The seller Tiger Direct has been ok as they said they would accept the first unit as a return.

When you go to a race, you will only spend $5.00 to have R.E. download the current frequencies in the scanner and it only takes about 2 minutes.Get more detail about Uniden SC230 Scanner featuring Pre-Programmed NASCAR / Busch Frequencies.

Klipsch F-2 Synergy FloorStanding Loudspeaker (Single, Black) Get it now!

Ok, true audiophiles will probably not be satisfied with these. After all, you can get them (a pair) for under $800 and there are speakers out there that go for a lot more. So, if you are someone who is an expert at defining the quality of a set of speakers then go about your business.

Now, if you are basically a neophyte to speakers in any way, and you have the ability to put together a sound system that will rock your socks off when you are playing great music, then what you want to do is get you a set of these speakers, and match them to a great amplifier or receiver (I own an Onkyo A-9555 amplifier in the black color). Most people cannot lay down $2000 for a music system, let alone simply a pair of speakers. But for less than $1500 you can have a very good audio system here, and these speakers will also work with home theater ideas as well.

On the speakers themselves here's what I can tell you: they are magnificent. These were an upgrade from a pair of polkaudio TSi300 speakers and the difference is undeniable. Crisper, more clarified sound across all ranges with tremendous highs and amazing mids. (If you desire to get greater depth at bass might I recommend a pair of Cerwin Vega CLS-12 speakers to run along with these) The bass is quite good for speakers if this kind and the experience over the sorts of music I tend to like (rock and metal) comes across very good, if just a bit on the bright side. I am currently playing music with a crashing depth of sound and it sounds absolutely killer. Potent and refined, with generous gravity. For the price they cannot be beaten. There's not any better speakers on the market for the price.

So, grab you a pair, get you a nice power source, hook them up, and rock out.Get more detail about Klipsch F-2 Synergy FloorStanding Loudspeaker (Single, Black).

TIC GS-10 4-Inch 2 Way 80-Watt Outdoor Speakers, Black (Pair) Buy Now

I got these speakers for pool use, first I connected them using a very good sound player, if you try to raise the volumen, these speakers automatically turn it down without explanation ( probably because the player is too much for them )After that I try with another player and sound that these speakers deliver is so low that it impossible to listen the music, even at the highest volumen of the player. I'm looking for something else to replace them.Get more detail about TIC GS-10 4-Inch 2 Way 80-Watt Outdoor Speakers, Black (Pair).

Bose 901 Direct/Reflecting Speaker System - Black Ash Order Now

I have bose 901 for some time. I heard good things about bose 901 before I decide to have a pair for myself. 901 worked ok with stereo era with limited dynamic range and with 2 channel huge output (200w or more) power amps to drive them. Now my Denon 7.1 HDMI receiver does not have main amp inputs to connect bose equalizer to compensate mono tonic nature of bose 901. It is almost torture to use bose 901 without the bose EQ. Modern receivers do not have much more than 140W/ch, using Bose EQ pushes mordern receiver output to its limit to trigger protection circuit. Because bose EQ increase output of low and high end of sound spectrum to compensate for its inefficiency on low and high end sound frequency. My sons hip-hop music with wide dynamic range can trigger my receiver speaker protection circuit on moderate volume levels. It also amplify low frequency rumbling noise on my powered sub woofers.
It was good rocking speaker in good old days with good old stereo systems.I am with my new Ohm Walsh speaker which is huge improvement over Bose 901 IMO. My 901 is just collecting dust in the basement. Get more detail about Bose 901 Direct/Reflecting Speaker System - Black Ash.

Onkyo HTS590 5.1 Channel Component Home Theater Audio System Decide Now

I very much enjoy mine. It is hard to find a system for this price that sounds good and is reliable. I have had others in the price range that were poor.
Pros
Price, made by an audio company, solid electronics with plenty of sound shaping options,good remote,reliable,optical and digital inputs, Good sound. Comes with most of the cables, has Stereo mode for use with older recordings. Can be upgraded.
Cons
Sub woofer not powered (although there is a mode that makes it sound like it is),Front L&R speakers small for loud music. Full size receiver/amp takes up room.
In a price range where most systems are terrible this one is good. As with most lower price systems the shortcomings are in the speakers.The receiver/amp is good enough to handle later upgraded speakers. Since I listen to music a lot I replaced the front L&R speakers with a set of good audio monitors that I had already and they work great. The unpowered sub woofer is normally barely noticeable but if you want big theater sound there is an OR-EQ mode that will disturb the neighbors if you want. For the money you cant beat it.Get more detail about Onkyo HTS590 5.1 Channel Component Home Theater Audio System.

Sony DAV-HDX275 BRAVIA 5-Disc DVD/CD Player 5.1 Channel Home Theater System, Black Right now

I bought my unit here in April 2009 and so far it performs well to my expectations. Just a few improvements that will make my buy PERFECT:
1. The wires for the sorround speakers is tedious to set-up. The wires need to be hidden behind the wall because it doesn't have a good appearance as it runs to the walls and ceiling. A wireless sorround speaker will be a good addition.
2. There is no input jack for microphone. Too bad because the sound is soooo good and should be perfect for karaoke. It is a disappointment in that area.
3. It is just locked to 110 V voltage input. I brought mine in the Philippines and I have to buy a voltage converter to use it.

The three items above doesn't make my buy a regret. I am still happy with my home theater based on what it's got for a cheap price.Get more detail about Sony DAV-HDX275 BRAVIA 5-Disc DVD/CD Player 5.1 Channel Home Theater System, Black.

Lowest Price MartinLogan Source SE Loudspeaker (Black Ash)

First off, I would like to preface by saying I am a long-time Bose owners and fan, whose product people either love them or hate them. Martin Logan is the same way in many ways, people either love how they look or sound or think they look ugly or the electrostatic speakers sound 'thin'. I think this is because of three main reasons:

The optimal sound field or sweet spot where the ML electrostatic speakers sound their best are generally smaller than conventional speakers, so placement is critical.

Secondly, the power amp selection is very important, you need something beefy to drive them. I have used an Onkyo TX-SR875 and it worked fine, of course the Onkyo 905/906 are even better! I also heard many people used Denon AVR-3808 to drive them without any problem. If you don't want to worry about this, then you can always get the more expensive ML Purity speaker with built-in amp, just provide the source, could just be an iPod and you are ready to listen, no amp/receiver required. Personally, I would save the extra cost for a good amp or receiver to power these speakers.

Third, I found ML break-in period tends to be longer, Mine required 200 hours to sound their best.

Bottomline is if your price range is $1000 per speaker, this is a no-brainer, get a pair and pair them with a good strong amp/receiver and you won't regret it!Get more detail about MartinLogan Source SE Loudspeaker (Black Ash).

Discount Coby DVD-433 2.1 Channel DVD Player with Home Theater Speaker System

I purchased this product because I have a small apartment, space is an issue, and I did not want to install the typical 5 speakers in most home theater-in-a-box systems. I hooked it up to an inexpensive, no-name 32" LCD flat-screen HDTV and the system isn't bad and takes up very little space. It only has 100 watt outage power, but the sound is pretty good. It is basically a progressive scan DVD/CD player with a speaker system. Although the speakers are wall-mountable, I did not mount them. So far so good and I am happy with the purchase. The system fit my needs perfectly.Get more detail about Coby DVD-433 2.1 Channel DVD Player with Home Theater Speaker System.

Cheap Dayton SUB-100 HT Series 10" 125 Watt Powered Subwoofer

This sub was recommended in the Mercury News as an "unbeatable value for the price" and after listening to it for a few weeks, I have to agree. I got this to go along with the Polk Audio RM10 5 speaker set and it sounds great for movies, music, NASCAR and video games.

No regrets, I would buy this again. Get more detail about Dayton SUB-100 HT Series 10" 125 Watt Powered Subwoofer.

Buying Definitive Technology AW 6500 Outdoor Speaker (Single, Black)

Was looking for a high fidelity outdoor speaker but don't have any real stores in town to try any out so I took a risk and ordered these after much web surfing. There ain't much in the way of reviews of outdoor speakers out there. These dudes are pretty large but fit well in our ramada. Most importantly, they sound great. I mounted them horizontally with the passive radiators up but found that too boomy off the ceiling so turned them around. The radiators point down now and the overall sound is far more even. I actually LISTEN to music outside now, rather than just have them running as background noise. I'm gonna get another pair to replace the Bose in the patio.Get more detail about Definitive Technology AW 6500 Outdoor Speaker (Single, Black).
