The Onkyo SKS-HT540 Review
Available for Sale on Amazon here.
Surround sound systems can be priced all over the board. The standard idea with technology is that you get what you pay for. This isn’t always true because you can get a quality system without having to sell a vital internal organ.
The Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System can be found on Amazon.com for a very reasonable price.
The Onkyo SKS-HT540 is no weakling in the sound department. Between the front, center and surround speakers, this system can kick out about 130 Watts. The bass sub-woofer cranks out about 230 Watts on its own. That’s a lot of Watts compared to the wad of cash you will save on the system.
Amazon.com offers some great pricing deals for the Onkyo SKS-HT540 if you keep your eyes open.
The Onkyo SKS-HT540 was designed to optimize the sound of movies and video game consoles. X-Box owners will love what this system can do for their game experience. Movie lovers will gain a whole new listening appreciation when they choose the Onkyo SKS-HT540.
Where the Onkyo SKS-HT540 system falls short is in the music department. It will play music just fine, but it was not designed to showcase the nuances of pieces that other systems excel at. Those with delicate ears will notice the loss; everyone else probably won’t.
Onkyo SKS-HT540 is compatible with many other theater systems, including Sony. Make sure that you take the time to configure the system. Once everything is set-up and plugged in you will want to test the sound. Adjust treble, bass and speaker size to you liking. There are some standard suggestions for placement and settings. When it really comes down to it, your personal taste is what matters.
Setting up a home theater doesn’t have to put you on the list for food stamps. There are quality systems available at smart prices. Do your research and sit back with that big bowl of popcorn. It’s show time!
Look for the Onkyo SKS-HT540 on Amazon.com today.

Home theaters have gained popularity in recent years. Consumers have invested a lot of money in order to take advantage of the new technologies emerging on the market. HD televisions and Blu-ray disc players are quality pieces of an entire system. A stellar sound system is the final touch but it doesn’t have to empty your wallet.
Amazon.com offers the Sony HTSS360 at a phenomenal price.
The Sony HTSS360 5.1 Channel Home Theater System was designed as a companion to the Sony Bravio system, but it will function with other brands. Sony doesn’t always use standard connections that are compatible with other brands though. You may have to modify the connections a bit to optimize function. Additional pieces like sub-woofers may need to be added when connections don’t mesh.
The Sony HTSS360 was made to optimize your HD experience. You paid for the HD feature; shouldn’t you be enjoying it to the max? The Bravia Sync technology allows all the pieces to be controlled with one remote. No more playing “guess which remote”, unless you really like that game.
The Sony HTSS360 can be floor or wall mounted. The brackets are sold separately. You may also want to add a 6 foot HDMI to HDMI connector in the cart to make set-up easier.
Amazon.com offers a large selection of extras for the Sony HTSS360.
The sleek design of the Sony HTSS360 matches Sony Bravio televisions and Blu-ray players perfectly. The individual pieces can blend into one attractive and cohesive package.
The Sony Bravia is one of the highest rated televisions on the market. If you have already invested in a top quality Sony Bravia and Blu-ray player, why not add the Sony HTSS360 5.1 Channel Home Theater System? It is the final touch in a great system that will give you the ultimate HD experience.
Order the Sony HTSS360 at Amazon.com and get your money’s worth in.

Energy RC-Micro 5.1 Surround Speaker Review

Having kids has ruined my movie going outings. In fact, I can’t remember that last time I went to see a movie at the box office. In self-defense, my husband and I bought the big screen plasma last year. This year we invested in the surround sound system.
I’m no audiophile, so I looked on Amazon.com and found the Energy RC-Micro 5.1 Surround Speaker.
The first thing that impressed me was the sleek design of the entire unit. These little black boxes where much more attractive than their big, box ancestors. They were small and less obtrusive as well.
Surround speakers can be expensive. The Energy RC-Micro is no exception. It is on the high end of all the systems we considered.
Amazon.com offered an amazing sale price that was hard to pass up.
That’s why we opted for the complete set. The Energy RC-Micro can be bought in individual pieces in order to customize the system. We have a large room, so space was not a problem for us.
The Energy RC-Micro can be floor or wall-mounted. Since we have kids who are most attracted to the most expensive and breakable item in a room, we mounted ours on the wall. This is where reading the manual comes in handy.
We had some sound problems after we installed the speakers in corners. The crashing asteroids in Armageddon reverberated through the room in an unpleasant way. After reading the instructions, we discovered that corners are the worst place for the speakers. My husband isn’t going to let me forget this err anytime soon.
For a small system, the Energy RC-Micro has great sound quality. They have really designed this system to minimize distortion. No sound system can completely eliminate this problem, but the Energy RC-Micro was an obvious improvement over the other systems we tried out.
Whether we are watching animated, talking animals or a big action flick, the whole family can enjoy our own comfy theater. If anyone spills popcorn, I know that the dog has it covered.

Bose 161 Speaker System Review
Average Customer Rating by Amazon.com

Sound Quality 
Available for Sale on Amazon here.
I spent some time in an electronics store and my head is still spinning. I just wanted to buy some home speakers not the whole IMAX sound system. I could not get over the costly and extensive systems that are available.
On a whim, I looked on Amazon.com and found the Bose 161 Speaker System.
This let me give a big sigh of relief. This system was more reasonable and better suited for my needs. I enjoy listening to the 1812 Overture but I really don’t need to feel every cymbal crash.
I really love my Bose 161 because I can stand anywhere in the room and get the same quality of sound. My old speakers lost quality if I stepped out of the direct path. The Bose Articulated Array and Stereo Everywhere technology prevent this from happening by dispersing sound equally throughout the room.
These speakers are small and compact which is ideal for me. I live in a small space so room is at a premium. The Bose 161 Speaker System fits neatly on a shelf and is barely noticeable.
Amazon.com has the exact dimensions listed for the Bose 161 if you are curious.
The Bose 161 lives in my living room with my television. Unlike my old speakers, the system doesn’t interfere with the television at all. I just hooked them up together to enhance my movie experience. Okay, I didn’t but I have a handy friend. I’m not really into the surround sound phenomenon, but even I was amazed at the enhanced sound the Bose 161 produced.
I have read some reviews that criticized the bass on the Bose 161. Honestly, if I wanted to roll the neighbors out of bed I would have invested in a sub-woofer. The Bose 161 meets all my needs.
I want to enjoy my music and movies. I don’t need to hear every nuance or each extra’s muttered line. The Bose 161 Speaker System gives me quality and consistency at the best price.
Check out the Bose 161 on Amazon.com for further details and pricing information.
