Sony Ss-f7000

$189.00 Est. at Amazon

from H Posas from Houst, www.circuitcity.com
i paired these sonys with two boston bookshelfs, one boston 8-inch subwoofer, one boston center, and this setup completes my 5.1 surround sound magic.
from www.amazon.com
i would personally recommend using them as side surround or rears in a 7.1 or 5.1 system if you have a larger budget, or as fronts in a more budget friendly system with the complement of a higher end
from mhart from Norfolk,Va, www.circuitcity.com
however i had to turn down my sub woofer because the bass may surprise you when viewing dvd's and 5.1 audio.
from www.amazon.com

from www.bestbuy.com
for my home theater system, i bought a sony 500w 5.1 receiver, and i'm currently using my panasonic speakers from a 5.1 system i bought 3 years ago.
from www.amazon.com
however the big advantage with this unit is when watching movies.....5.1, 3.1 or 2.1, the bass is way deeper than you can get with the big front speakers.
