Quality speakers are critical for a good performing home theater system. While there are many brands from which to choose, it is important that you choose speakers that will work well together by creating a similar sound. It may be tempting in order to save funds to mix and match speakers but this will not create the true quality of sound you are hoping to achieve in your home theater. Continue reading at Audio Gear.

Onkyo HTS5200B Home Theater System Review

Onkyo HTS5200B Home Theater System Review–Better Controls, Lesser Sound, Horrible Price

via CyberTheater by Steve Anderson on 5/20/10

Remember how, yesterday, I was complaining about a system that sounded great but didn’t have such great controls? Today I get hoisted by my own petard when I get a dose of the alternative with the Onkyo HTS5200B.

The Onkyo HTS5200B is a 7.1 channel home theater system with six satellite speakers and a center channel speaker with twelve hundred watts of power. It includes a two hundred ninety watt subwoofer, receiver with four HDMI inputs, four DSP gaming modes, and both iPod (even includes an iPod cradle) and Sirius Satellite Radio connectivity.

Like I said, today I get the opposite effect; the Onkyo has really, REALLY simple controls but the sound quality just isn’t there the way other systems would be. I know that it’s a seven channel with plenty of wattage but it sounded almost crackly and distorted. Not by much, admittedly, but I wasn’t as impressed as I had been with other systems, including some systems that just plain old cost VASTLY less. This one, you see, will come your way for a downright frightening seven hundred bucks on Amazon.

The Onkyo HTS5200B is a pretty good system, but there are much, MUCH better options out there than this one will ever provide.

Polk Audio

Are you a fan of Polk Audio? Having had a pair of the classic Monitor 10′s, I can say Polk can put together some excellent speakers when they put their mind to it. The RTi A Series Speakers from Polk Audio seem to be as high quality as the Monitor 10′s.
