 Sounds greatJul 10, 2008
By jmcwilli
If you are an audiophile don't bother. You are never happy with the sound. If you are an average user this will sound great. I installed them in a room that measures 30' x 15' and it will fill the room with plenty of sound while still sounding great. These are being powered by an Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black). These are not large speakers so don't expect them to shake the room. They can be mounted by a single bolt on the back that worked with the universal mounting kit that I got.

wowJun 30, 2008
By Sabin Raj Bista
the sound comes alive, especially if one has a receiver that decodes the latest lossless audio formats like dolby true hd and dts-hd master audio.
Forget Bose. Best bang for the bucks.

Bigger than I thought, better than I thoughtFeb 07, 2009
By J. Norman
This is my first surround speaker set, but I've seen other people's "amazing" systems. After this, all of theirs seem weak. I could never go to a home theater in a box now. I have them set up in a room about 14'x14x, and they shake the room so much that I worry about police knocking on my door at only about 60% volume.
One thing to know is that, from the picture, you absolutely get no idea how big these thigns are. I was expecting something about half this size. Each of those speakers is about 14 inches tall. The center is the exact same size, just turned sideways. I'm 6'1", and the subwoofer goes up to my knees. The thing is massive. If you turn it up to half volume and you don't live on the bottom floor, prepare to make some enemies.
People have complained about the quality of the speaker cable. Yes, it's thin, but it's in no way brittle. What's more, it's wonderfully color coded, as are the backs of the speakers and the back of my onkyo 606 receiver. Since speaker cord is little more than just a piece of copper, I see no reason to spend a lot of money getting "better" cord. I've had no trouble with the sound from what was included. My one concern though, is that, especially for the back speakers, I barely had enough to get it to my receiver. Unless you want to go straight across the floor instead of along the walls, you will probably need longer cord, since my room is only 14'x 14'. The holes for the screws on wall-mounting are also a little annoying. Be prepared to have to measure precisely if you want them to hang right. It took me about 4 hours to hang and wire the speaker set, partly because my room is full of furniture along the walls.
Sound quality is great. Playing Band of Brothers on Blu-Ray, you feel like you're in with them, in a nice safe warm pod with no shrapnel. I've had occasions where very high pitches will make a ringing sound, but the inconsistency of it makes me think it's on purpose from the source (i.e. recorded messages in fallout 3).
The real trouble has nothing to do with the speakers. It's the disappointing realization that, even among blu-rays, almost nothing is done in 7.1, which means your back speakers do nothing most of the time. Right now, only a handful of movies support 7.1, and they're usually the movies you don't really want to see. The blu-rays you're dying to hear on your new system, Dark Knight, Iron Man, Band of Brothers, etc, all filmed in 5.1. Hopefully, one day, we'll get more universal support of 7.1. Despite this, I'm still glad I went 7.1 and not 5.1. When movies do start to catch up, I want my system to be up to par, especially with the hundreds of dollars any good system costs. I watched the Golden Compass, just cause it's one of those few movies in 7.1, and it sounded great!
Alright, so my opinion is you should buy these speakers. If you're thinking about the 540s, which I was, consider the fact that you'll have to wait a month or more before they ship, since they're so popular. Personally, I'm way too impatient, and these have surpassed my expectations.

 Great entry level speaker systemJul 31, 2008
By S. Caylor
"Tech Geek"
These speakers are very nice. I am a beginner as far as home stereo goes. They sound fantastic to me. I have them connected to an Onkyo 506 receiver. The only drawback I have noticed is that they are BIG. If you are looking for some small speakers to not be so noticeable on the wall, then these are not for you. Delivery was right on time and ordering was a snap.

 Great bass, poor midrangeDec 03, 2008
By J. White
I read a CNET review that stated that these were more stylish than the less expensive SKS-HT540, but that the SKS-HT540 had better sound.
"the Onkyo SKS-HT540 sounds a little better, but its speakers are a lot bigger and nowhere as attractive"
I figured I'd like the more attractive speakers. I'd say in this case that looks aren't everything.
While the bass is quite impressive, the mids were missing altogether and the highs were a bit flat, especially from the center channel.
My Onkyo TX-SR604 receiver automatically calibrates the speaker setting via it's Audyssey 2EQ calibration system, which I've used with great success with other speaker systems, so I know it isn't receiver setup.
I have to admit that I may be expecting too much from speakers in this price range.
One final very minor gripe, the speaker wires included are pathetically thin. I certainly don't buy into the hype of bigger speaker wires equals better sound, but just from a material stand point the wires are pretty sad.
I'm going to try function over form and give the less expensive SKS-HT540 a try.
