Review on PyleHome PHS51P 5.1 Passive Home Theater Audio System with 4 Satellites, Center Channel & 10-Inch Subwoofer by Rob Dixon

W First, an important disclaimer: these are *not* Bose speakers, yes, they bear a passing resemblance to Bose, but I knew that nothing in the sub-$100 price range could match the performance of a true Bose system. More importantly, it's *only* the dynamics, you don't come with an amplifier, and the subwoofer isn't powered either, it works passively in unison with the front left and right channels, so you'll have to buy an amplifier separately (or pair it with your existing amp), ideally a 5th 1 surround amplifier with around 100 watts of peak power per channel. Still, as simple bare-wire speakers paired with a decent amp, these are actually pretty good speakers for the price. They served as my home theater speakers for a while after my old speakers failed, and will continue to serve as a secondary system elsewhere (likely to complement my gaming PC) after I bring a *true* Bose system to my home added theatre.
