Product Review (submitted on June 4, 2022):
The good: this budget home theatre package brings you a system that drives well on a home theatre receiver, and provides a much more enveloping sound field than any soundbar can. The towers output clean, unmuffled sound, with decent center imaging and soundstage in two channel stereo.
The not so good: the center channel is too small. Dialog sounds boxed in and distant, though increasing the Db level on the center channel can mitigate some of what it lacks. Surrounds are somewhat muffled. Bass on the towers is non-existent (so budget for a sub).
Final thoughts: overall there’s nothing on the market that can bring a true 5.0 experience for the same price. That said, the biggest downside to the system is that each speaker type has a different timber, likely because they don’t share any of the same drivers or tweeters (as well as having different shapes/size). Nevertheless, excellent value and worthwhile for those on a budget and looking to up their HT experience.
