Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • Anyways, the reason I mentioned that here is because I don't you to waste your money on $800+ speakers when these badboys offer such an amazing value
  • Audio quality is as good as,if not better than the Bose speakers
  • After 15 months of use on my home theater, I feel they are very good value for the price, but lacks the quality control of a brand name speaker.
  • I got this to pair with my Denon 7.2 home theater, and it's great!Satellite speakers are solid, responsive, and a great value
  • If you haven't done your research about pre-packaged 5.1 home theater systems or are doing it right now than let me inform you that this system offers the best value

  • After reading all the great reviews, I finally decided to give them a try
  • More on the 8247:I purchased this system because I had read all the stellar reviews and was expecting more than what I received
  • Well, I read the reviews on this system here and at CNET and decided to wing it and buy it
  • all of the great reviews this product had I was expecting a lot more than I got
  • I saw the great reviews of the Monoprice system on CNET and other sites and decided to take the plunge

Reviews around sub (5.00 of 5)

  • Both the sub and my receiver have stereo inputs so this worked perfect
  • The sub is very powerful and when a movie decides to use it the sub will blast enough air to move my pant
  • I question whether I would prefer a sub that wasn't downward firing, especially being on the second floor.
  • I may actually try to build this set from eBay or something, because the sub isn't great.

Reviews around range (5.00 of 5)

  • Audio quality is as good as,if not better than the Bose speakers
  • My best friend has an over $1000 system that begins with a “B”, and I swear this cheap little system sounds better!OK, they look cheap, but really, they have a great mid range and much better then adverse base.
  • deliver good low-range notes, and subwoofer doesn't even need to be on for music without heavy bass emphasis
  • The bass is deep and the satellite speakers have excellent range.
  • They have a much better range and can get very loud with little distortion

Reviews around power (5.00 of 5)

  • Great power and range for price
  • Probably a non-factor once it is in place.- Front mounted subwoofer port may not appeal to some depending on placement.- Bright blue power LED on front (port) side of subwoofer (just above the Monoproce logo
  • Power LED on sub is insanely bright (easy to cover)Honestly, for the price and value, I can't think of anything else

Reviews around price (4.56 of 5)

  • Unless you are willing to spend 10x or more, I don't think you're going to find better balanced sound overall for a better price.
  • If you are looking for great speakers at an incredible price, look no further
  • I knew what we needed, but had almost lost hope in finding the real thing at a realistic price
  • I needed to replace some home theater speakers on a budget and had considered a few options but settled on these as the price was just too good and the reviews were, for the most part, excellent.
  • This is a drastic price reduction from the Energy system

Reviews around bass (3.98 of 5)

  • Vocals are crisp vocals and the bass is thundering when appropriate
  • Plus the bass cleared up my constipation issues after watching transformers.
  • Great sound quality - clear voice, thunderous bass, and detailed, layered musicMatte finish
  • The bass is awesome and the only complaint I could ever have about these is that sometimes it is hard to get the sound just right.

Reviews around system (3.94 of 5)

  • Great system for the first year but then a satellite speaker blew out
  • It beats most other systems by the numbers, and destroys them by the price
  • Highly rated speaker setup from monoprice.. bought it on recommendations from CNET, they rated it better than the now infamous Energy 5.1 system but surprisingly its not on the list of top audio products
  • This system knocks the panties off of any girl in the house
  • Really great theater system for the price my husband did so much research before buying

Reviews around quality (3.89 of 5)

  • Deep quality bass that will shake the house if you want it to
  • I paired this set with a Yamaha RX-V477 amplifier and the sound quality is fantastic
  • Skipping this step is a really good way to permanently damage your sound quality.
  • The bass is exquisite considering the speakers are no where near as expensive as some speakers out there that don't give no where near as good quality sound as these do!Definitely have a good receiver already and you will mostly likely need the 2 rca to 1 adapter as this doesn't come with one!
  • The sound quality for the price and size of these speakers is ridiculously good

  • These are great speakers for the price, and will probably be more than adequate for the needs of anyone who is not an audiophile

Reviews around deal (3.61 of 5)

  • Since I got them for a much better deal than that, I didn't have a problem going for it
  • Audio quality is as good as,if not better than the Bose speakers
  • I did not return the 8247 set because I got those on a ridiculous deal ( $75 ) as well and honestly the subwoofer is worth at least $150 as it kicks ass.
  • I got a fantastic deal on these for one-ninety with free
  • This set of speakers comes highly recommended as a great deal on a reasonable starter

Reviews around set (3.37 of 5)

  • Anyway, you should just go on and buy these unless the Energy Take Classic set is at one of the periodic low dips to $250 range
  • They sound like a much more expensive set.
  • Granted, it's not as good as the Andrew Jones Pioneer set, but it's less than half the price
  • For sound of any kind and for distribution of same within a room, this is a fantastic set of speakers.
  • I thought I was going to regret going with a cheaper set, but I'm 100% happy

  • The bad is the subwoofer, the second day of me playing the system, subwoofer just quit, no sound period, requested a refund!
  • The subwoofer is powerful, but doesn't drown you in bass
