Budget home-theater speakers
- Price
- Good sound quality
- Solid construction
- Flimsy cables
- More expensive systems sound better
- Not suitable for large rooms
Owners who purchase the 5.1-channel Yamaha NS-SP1800 as a budget or secondary home-theater speaker system seem pleased with its value and overall performance. Construction is solid, most say, but some complain that the included cables are flimsy. Sound quality is great considering the price, but is really no match for moderately priced systems such as the Energy Take Classic 5.1 (*Est. $400) . Power is adequate for filling a smaller space with sound, although the subwoofer is too low-powered to provide much of a kick for action films.
Professional reviewers haven't evaluated home theater speakers as inexpensive as the Yamaha NS-SP1800, but owner reviews are available and very helpful. The biggest assortment by far can be found at Amazon.com. A handful can also be read at JR.com and BHPhotoVideo.com.
