Teufel System 4 Cinema 5.1

Tannoy EFX 5.1 Home Cinema Speakers. Good for the money!

Advantages: Small and compact. Nice setup for the first time venture into Home Cinema.
Disadvantages: Not very stylish. Lacks a "punch" from the Subwoofer.

This is a small set of Home Cinema speakers that are OK for a small living room or bedroom, come Man-Room. Not the most stylish of speakers I must say, however hooked up to a decent Amplifier ( I have the Onkyo 605), these little babies shine. They are more suited to Movies than Music, but you can get a good sound for Music if you tweak the settings on the rear of the Subwoofer. They also bring your Games console to life as well, utilizing the full range of ingame sounds that are available. If there is one gripe I have with these is the lack of depth to the subwoofer, however you cannot expect miracles from what is essentially a budget speaker system. In summary, well worth the modest asking price, albeit not very stylish. Recommended for anyone looking for their first venture into Home Cinema. ...

HOME CINEMA ON A BUDGET? TRY THESE.

Advantages: Small,unobtrusive satellite speakers.
Disadvantages: Not as good as larger speakers.

I brought my set of tannoys 15 months ago and, at the time,they cost £300.Now,with a little searching around,they can be obtained for under £200. What you get in the box is five satellite speakers(two front,two rear and a centre speaker) plus a seperate powered subwoofer. You also get wall mounted supports for the two front and two rear speakers and all the speaker cables(i changed the cables to 79 stand q.e.d. speaker cable to improve the sound). Setting up the system is relatively easy:you just need an electric drill for the the wall mounted stands and once fitted,you just connect the cables to your home cinema amp. Easy!! Once you have connected everything,it is time to try out the system. My first reaction and i am sure yours will be the same was one of complete disbelief!! The sound quality for such small speakers ...

Creative Inspire 5.1 sound system

Advantages: Quality sound for a low price
Disadvantages: Short rear speaker cables

work, it also acts as the power switch for the system. Its a bit chunky about 9cm long, 4cm wide and stand 2.5cm tall but still looks good with a nice curved shape to match the speakers. Setup ````````` Setup is fairly easy, just plug in the cables, well not quite "easier said than done" come to mind you have 8 cables in total a power cable, 5 speakers, volume and the audio jack with 3 plugs to juggle about, the back of the subwoofer is clearly marked for which port does what so there's no need to refer to any manual... The best way to set it up is to figure out where everything is going to go then lead the cables around before plugging into the sub just to make sure all the cables reach, on the many occasions I failed to do that and had to re-adjust mainly because the rear speaker cables are too short, Another thing to keep in mind is ...
