How to Avoid Crumby Cheap Home Theater Systems:General Audio observations about cheap Home Theater Systems:• Some shoppers are all about price. • Some are all about performance. • Most of us are somewhere in the middle. • We want both price and performance. I would like to help you build both into your home theater experience. But the Home Theater System is still cheap right?Yes, but there are some things to consider first: • What equipment you currently have in your possession. Just want high quality, completely finished surround sound speakers... Now on Sale! • Do you own a computer? Use it for a home theater computer or HTPC. Do you have an old home theater receiver? You might even have some old stereo speakers laying in the attic or the basement. These components that you already own are critical to getting the best performance for the smallest amount of dollars. A cheap home theater speaker can even be bought at a garage sale. Keep your eye out for deals. • Use some of these components that you already own. I know, you might want the best home theater receiver but there is something you should know about audio components. Most of the cheap stuff is junk! Total junk actually! • So if you can use some of your own old equipment you may end up buying fewer new items. • You will be able to spend more of your budget on less parts getting higher overall performance. If you have a Computer with a DVD drive- Go to Home Theater PC use the PC to play movies instead of getting a new DVD player. If you have an old receiver but no speakers, use the old receiver and buy better speakers. Add the receiver budget to the speaker budget= higher quality speakers. Think out your plan before you spring for that Cheap Home Theater in a box. Many HTIB systems are quite terrible. Don't Assume because the Parts are Old- that New Home Theater Equipment is Better!Some old components are built very well and sound very good.Don’t sell your old stuff short. Give it a chance before running out to a home theater system store. That brand new gear might be worse performing than the old equipment you may have lying in the attic. If the old gear needs a face lift then do some cheap repairs and repaint them in the back yard. You are only limited by your imagination.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
