Dont listen to any of the reviews that say these speakers do not work extremely well with music. i have a Pioneer vsx-919 receiver and just tweaking the speakers one by one will produce amazing results the clarity is insane for movies as well as music, look no further! i researched for 2 weeks looking for good quality speakers and i found these.i tested these puppies out with my receiver and i cant believe how good they sound. word of advice dont make up your mind about how good they sound till you learn how to tweak them. and as far as the wires that the speakers bring i wouldnt change them. regardless if there a tad bit small they still handle the speakers well so no need to buy bigger wires. BUY THE SPEAKERS, the only buy without any cons and for the money you wont regret it!!

This is a good starter set with solid basic sound, but you get what you pay for. The included speaker wire is color coded but a cheap grade. The mounting hardware on the back of the book shelf speakers are very basic and can not be used with any mounting hardware. You will have to drill new holes to mount these. Overall not a bad set for the price but do not expect some great bargin.

I have a Dennon 2808CI 7.1 receiver and had older Bose seriesII front speakers with older bose 301 or > series, and found it to bulky due too space concerns.
The ONKYO speakers were the right size and price, plus the sound quality is good.
In the future, when it comes to an amplifier upgrade ONKYO is #1 on my list.

Here is my deal. I made a home theater out of my living room. I have a Epson 6500UB Projector with sony PS3 and Yamaha RX-V3900 receiver projecting onto my 110 inch screen. I knew I was going to have a sound problem as one end of my living room is open. My wife and I went to a couple of High end sound stores and listened to the speaker systems in the $2000-3000 range. After having blown almost my whole budget I decided to check out what I could buy cheap until I could afford a good set of speakers. So you guessed it onto Amazon and check out the reviews. I found this set which with shipping was under $300.
The speakers. I did not use the speaker wire provided as I had already run good quality wire to my speaker locations. I hooked em up following the recomended speaker placement and ran the auto setup on my receiver. Threw the Transformers Blu-ray into the PS3 and could not belive what I was hearing. I am not saying these speakers are as good as a $2000 set but I must say they are very good. I have had them for 9 months now and my wife has been sure I was going to blow them up on many occasions. I like it LOUD. I just keep laughing as I crank up the volume. I have yet to destroy them. I have had many friends over for movie night and eveyone has walked away amazed. If I ever destroy them I am going to buy another set. One last thing, the Sub does do a good job if you have it placed fairly close to your seating area other wise it is a little weak. I may just buy another set to get an extra Sub and run a pair of em.
You can not go wrong at this price.

Ordered these speakers in January and received them a few weeks later due to a backorder. These were step 1 of my plan to upgrade my old Sony 5.1 system I purchased in 2001. So far I am really pleased with my purchase! The build quality and sound are MUCH better than the speakers in my old setup. I know they aren't sounding their best (haven't updated the receiver yet) but still they provide a very noticeable improvement. I currently only have them hooked up to run 5.1 with my PS3 or XBox 360. I cant' stress enough how much of an improvement these speakers were over my tiny, outdated, Sony speakers. If given the chance I would order them all over again. Now I just need to get my receiver!
On a side note they were a little larger than my wife expected, and she had a hard time adjusting to them being on the entertainment center. If size is a concern for you, I would advise grabbing a measuring tape and making sure they will fit your room setup.

This speaker system is outstanding. I hooked it up to my Onkyo (5.1) receiver and it blows you away. Movie dialogues come out clear and when the fight scene begins hang on to your chair, I am saying goodbye to the $10 movie tickets. Overall the base is superb, sometimes you don't even need the subwoofer. As for music the radio sounds great (dependent on signal) and the mp3 player even better. The speakers are on the larger side, but if you don't care about that, go for it. Best value for your money.
