Rating  - Great Surround Sound for the Budget Minded
You can purchase better speakers than the HTIB Onkyo SKS-HT540. Of course, if you're looking to upgrade your home theater to 7.1 and are on a budget, the SKS-HT540 is a gem. Easy connection, especially if using an Onkyo receiver and the sound is pretty good for the price you're paying. The speakers look good paired with an Onkyo receiver, plus they look nice with an HDTV 40" or larger. The center channel is strong which is a great plus for dialogue. The bass isn't the strongest available, but it's strong enough for small rooms. (ie: 16x13 or smaller) Setting the speakers properly through your receiver will make all the difference in the world. If you've hit the correct setting and pop in 3:10 to Yuma on Blu-Ray, the incoming train near the end scene will make you feel like you're standing at the train station. Now that's a true plus!!!!
Rating  - Good price for a good product
These speakers are awesome with Onkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black), I adjusted the EQ to an audio CD and the sound is amazing for movies as well. Plenty of sound as long as you know how to set them up right. I was amazed with the size of the speakers. This is my first 7.1 system for home theater, but I have a stereo in my car that is pretty amazing by itself. But the Onkyo setup is awesome when watching movies, gaming, or music. The speakers give a great all around sound and I am glad I bought them. Only problem I have is that people sleeping get woke up.
Rating - sweet sound
The sound from these speakers is awesome. I was never big on movies until I got my Onkyo 605 and these speakers. What a difference! The only reason I gave it four stars is becuase they are very big and heavy.
Rating  - YOU SHOULD READ THIS
I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM A WEEK AGO FROM 6TH AVE ELECTRONICS, WHO DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO AND DELIVERED ON TIME, I GOT IT ALL HOOKED UP ABOUT 2 DAYS AGO. I HAVE TO SAY IT IS A GOOD BARGAIN FOR THE PRICE SO FAR. IF YOU ARE AN AUDIO HEAD LIKE ME THEN YOU WANT OT CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER RIGHT AWAY, OR A DIFFERENT SYSTEM. I HAVE AN ONKYYO 705 THAT IS THX CERTIFIED AND I USED THE AUDISSEY SPEAKER SET UP TO CALIBRATE THE SPEAKERS. THE RECIEVER IS 5 STARS, BUT THE CENTER CHANNEL OF THIS SPEAKER SYSTEM GETS DROWNED OUT BY THE REST OF THE SYSTEM. i HAVE TO BALST MY SYSTEM TO HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, AND ICAN NOT HEAR EVERYTHING I USE TO ON MADDEN 08 WITH MY OLD SYSTEM. TO PUT IT SIMPLY I REPLACED A $300 ALL IN ONE SONY 5.1 SYSTEM. I CAN HEAR MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES MUCH CLEARER WITH A SYSTEM THAT COST AS MUCH AS THESE SPEAKERS COST. i BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM TO START OUT WITH UNTIL I REPLACE IT WITH A THX CERTIFIED SPEAKER SYSTEM. I READ MANY REVIEWS AND WAS DIDSAPOINTED WITH THE OVERALL SOUND. THE REST OF THE SYSTEM SEEMS GOOD. I WILL KNOW WHEN I BUY A NEW CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER JUST HOW GOOD IT IS. I AM RATING THIS AS A 3 STAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS JUST THE CENTER CHANNEL OR THE SYSTEM. I WILL KNOW IN ABOUT 3 WEEKS WHERE IT IS REALLY RATED. I ALSO THIN IT IS A 3 STAR BECAUSE OF THE FALSE ADVERTISMENT ON ONKYO' S PART. THE SUB IS ONLY 130 WATTS AND DOES NOT SOUND ANY DEEPER THAN THE 50 WATT SONY SUB THAT CAME WITH THE $300 RECEIVER AND SPEAKER SYSTEM I BOUGHT 4 YEARS AGO. ALSO THE FRONT SPEAKERS ARE MAGNECTLY SHEILDED. THIS IS A GOOD SYSTEM FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HAD 5.1, 6.1, & 7.1 SOUND SYSTEM. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE WROTE A REVIEW LIKE THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE SYSTEM. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SHOPPING.
