Good Cheap Home Theatre Speakers

[goatss22]

Hey what do you all suggest. I looked allover and found some stuff but I want to know what are some good ones. I found cheap Sony 5.1 channel and Pioneer and even KLH. I have a KLH reciever with R and L speakers which works great but I want the suround and center speakers. So any suggestions would be great.

I recently read somthing on cnet reviews about some Sony speakers that they really liked....
Unfortunately, you used 2 words in the same sentence that won't work in this case -- "good" and "cheap".
I've got some bad-ass Technics speakers that I love, but you can't get that stuff in the US anymore.
Bose are totally over-rated, not to mention over-priced.
I see a link at the top of this page for "The Award-Winning Home Theater Speakers Everyone's Talking About"... Then again, it's an ad.
Check cnet for some reviews, maybe epinions?

I totally agree on BOSE, after all BOSE=Badly Overpriced Stereo Equipment - but they do make some decent noise-cancelling headphones. I think the real question to a thread like this is: What is your definition of 'good' and what is your definition of 'cheap'? I consider the Klipsch Synergy system to be 'decent' to 'pretty good' and a full 5.1 setup will run you less than $900 - which is what I call cheap.

If space is a concern, I've also got the Infinity satellites and sub box kit that's only about $500 and sounds better than any sony setup I've heard yet. Just do yourself a favor and do not audition any setups that are above your budget... if you do, then when you 'settle' on what you can afford - you'll be less satisfied because you'll know just how much better it could have sounded if you'd been able to drop $5K on your setup.

also make sure that you take a good representation of what you'll be listening to when you audition the speakers.
I took "Tomorrow World is Not Enough" and repeatedly played the scene where the submarine implodes.
Also, Fear Factory's "Demanufacture" album, Faith No More's "King For a Day, Fool for a Lifetime" album (this one's got it all - highs, lows, and everywhere in between especially on the voice), and several symphonic compilations.
If the retailer doesn't want you to play your own audio &/or wants to keep you from "cranking it" or otherwise adjust the equipment they have the speakers connected to, LEAVE. Find a reputable dealer.
Don't waste your time with those 'preset' demos so many places have. If you don't normally listen to Sheryl Crowe or Dave Matthews, why would you use them to test speakers? If you do listen to either of them normally, shoot yourself.

you want good and very cheap? i went the ultra frugal way and i'm pretty happy - i spent ten dollars on a set of used computer speakers with subwoofer from craigslist, hooked it to the TV and I have good sound.

Hi Guys.
I was wondering for good home theatre speakers on internet for a month or so but I wanted to buy cheap speakers with good quality of sound. I surf on links given in this topic which provided me few options that matches my criteria. I like sony speakers especially and would like to know about it, if someone has used it.
