This was my first home theater speaker setup like 10 years ago. Pair it with an entry-level sub and an AV receiver, and you'll be in audio heaven.

If you're looking to upgrade the sub anyway, it might not be a bad idea to try and pickup the sats used. These have been around for some time and show up somewhat regularly on eee'bay. At the moment for instance there is a set of the 5 sats for under $100 (50+20 ship for me.) While most are more around $100-150, it's not unusual to spot them for less. If you're fine with the subwoofer that it comes with, 250 isn't a bad price.

Could be either, Chinese company Rayleigh bought the rights to start reproducing Energy and Jamo Speakers from Voxx (Klipsch) a couple years ago. Pretty limited distribution so far at least for Energy (Adorama)

Between 50 and 500 for a receiver, depends on what you want plus a cable or two. Happy to help if you need some advice. I'm one of very few people who can show you how to get true 5.1 surround sound from PC to receiver using an older receiver with optical cable.
is this system worth it?- depends if you want serious base, it's only 50 RMS watts, I would probably use eBay to piece together something better or about the same but with a better sub.
Your local Craigslist might I have a gem for you too.

Thanks for this post, question for you. Is buying used speakers generally okay? I think someone scooped up the set you saw lol, now the cheapest is around 70, but ship to me is another 70. But just in general I hadn't really considered used speakers for my surround before. I already have a big replacement sub ready to go, so this set would be semi pointless.

So two questions I guess. Buying used speakers as a non audiophile is cool? I can hear basic crackling/blown, but if it's slightly off (indicating future failure? IDK?) I probably wouldn't know what to listen for.

And second question, used receivers? I have a "good" receiver that I paid 5 or 600 for 5 years ago, specifically to get awawy from my Onkyo which I hated... And then I found out Pioneer was owned by Onkyo and I didn't open it in time to return it after my wife bought it Frown . And I hate it. App is trash, receiver is buggy, remote sucks.

So yeah guess I need ANOTHER dang receiver.

Anyways, thanks for your post and future time if you respond!

These are very good speakers for the price and size imo. Highly reviewed and good quality at least when they were made by Energy. If the Chinese are making them now, you can pretty much bet on them being garbage imo, but who knows what stock this is. Probably better looking for used ones online.

I use these in my loft with a decent Denon receiver in a 7.1 setup. Use 2 decent Polk speakers (rtia7s) for left and right and use the satellites for the 4 rears and the center. I use the sub in my office for 2.1. The sub is actually pretty good in its own right, but I got a deal on a better Polk sub.


My 2 cents.
