Rocío Zepeda: Es necesario tener un amplificador para poderlas conectar, tienen una muy buena calidad de sonido, el woofer responde excelente y el precio es muy accesible.

Amazon Customer: Been meaning to do a review of this system for a while. Had the 10565 system since Oct '18 in the upstairs gameroom where its main duty is being connected to the xbox. Additionally, I stream music via bluetooth to the AVR and it does a great job for that as well (receiver is only putting out about 80-90W/ch, and over about 50W/ch it starts to break up, so no sense pushing it anyway).

It's 200.00, or was when I got it... for a 5.1, powered-sub system. It sounds perfectly fine at that price point. You're not expecting to top a $1500 Klipschissplittlixblah-blah system for this price-point. Accept that, enjoy the great sound this puts out at reasonable volume levels, and carry on. I wouldn't crank this up to '11' for a party and expect it to survive... but I wouldn't do that for any stereo I have either... I have sympathy for my stuff I guess. I've had it at 50% volume for hours playing music though.. plenty loud (rock, metal, etc...).. though 'plenty' is of course subjective.

In the 20x12 room it sits in, it will give pretty decent thump for sound-effects and movies w/in reason. Again.. price-point here.

I paid at least $100 more than...

Patrick Boone: A lengthy review follows so for the TL;DR version:

Great budget speakers for a small living room or bedroom once burned in and are vastly superior to HDTV speakers or a soundbar. Highly recommend if you don't have the money for a $300 range set of speakers or just want to get your toe wet in surround sound setups.

Updated February 25, 2017:
Still a good bargain.

Having since upgraded the living room surround sound speakers, I've moved these to my PC along with a cheap used 5.1 receiver but with a different subwoofer. They work very well in a "near field" environment of desktop and three feet away especially in gaming. More details at the end of the review.

Updated 1/29/2016 Long version:

When it finally became unavoidable that I'd have to retire my lashed up 5.1 system consisting of a Creative Labs Dolby and DTS decoder and Gateway BA-7900 speakers, I had to get some surround speakers fast and cheap. Reviews of the 108427 were good enough, the price was right, Prime shipping was fast, so I pulled the trigger.

First it is important to relay what kind of taste I have in speakers. Long a fan of Boston Acoustics line of...

Erik: These are a great inexpensive set of speakers - I was more interested in their bigger brother, but Monoprice doesn't sell them through Amazon.ca just yet and their final cost otherwise would have ended up being more than $300.

I don't even want to say that for the price these ones sound great, because they put out some deceptively great sound. The build quality is more than decent and extras like wall mounts are a nice touch. I bought some banana plugs to use with my amp but the pin type plugs you can get probably would not work with these speakers unless you're wall or stand mounting them (as there is no clearance underneath if placed directly on a flat surface). I also don't fully understand the situation where someone would need a left and right connection to a subwoofer, so I simply have my single subwoofer out on my amp running to the right input on the sub and it seems to work fine. I may replace it with a Y connector eventually.

My only complaint is minor, and that's with the subwoofer - it puts out an audible hum when there's no sound. It seems to be linked when switching inputs with the amp, but thankfully it's not a constant thing...

Irishman1771: My Dad is the one that got me into Home Theater. I grew up listening to music and movies on really good sounding speakers like Polk Audio, Infinity, Bose, and My favorite speaker company in the world Paradigm. If I would have gotten a chance to hear the Monoprice 5.1 system first before buying it I would have passed on it. I just keep reminding myself that this system cost less than 100 bucks. I will say one thing, If you crank these puppies up with something good like a Denon, Onkyo, or Pioneer Elite they will surprise you they get loud!! My Denon puts out about 90 watts and they take the abuse. You definitely will want to turn the gain down on the little sub-woofer if you plan on playing it at high levels.
I wasn't real happy with the over all sound that came from the system at first, I thought the sound---sounded like the music was being played through a tube or something. It just didn't seem to have any depth to it, and sounded very cold and tinny.
I think I've had them for about 5 weeks now. I have to say they are finally starting to break in and open up. The weak point of the system is the sub woofer, is not powerful enough. If you...
