Sony 5.1 Channel Home Theater Speaker System (SA-VS310) $100 After Rebate + Free Shipping

Quote from New_World : Good deal?

Great deal. A name brand for 5.1 for $100. Lowest I've seen. Great for Christmas gifts.

Quote from gaore : good deal?

Nice deal. I just wish it was $100 without having to deal with a rebate.

Quote from someones1 : Not sure what that is referring to on the product page. These appear to need a separate receiver to power them.

I believe the RCA input means that each speaker uses an RCA connector instead of the 2 wire input.

nice looking speakers...

Actual product page [sony.com]

It says input for the speakers (except sub) are push type, which means lame... should have been binding posts.

Awesome deal. The shape of the rear speakers is far too awkward for my setup though. Thanks for posting though.

I have sony htts 380 which I got for $100 from best buy clearance. I also have onkyo receiver ( 300 or 600 series -not sure). Would these speakers with onkyo receiver better set up than my hts 380? I think i can sell my hts for $ 100 on craigslist if needed. Any input is appreciated. thanks.

We picked this system up a few weeks ago for $149 after rebate and for the price it delivers.

I noticed this Onkyo/Sony package at the bottom of the page for $230. You'd essentially be getting the
Onkyo TX-SR309 for $130, which seems to be a good price for a new unit after doing a quick check of other stores.

Edit: My bad, I just noticed it looks like you'd pay shipping on the bundle. Still, it might not be bad depending on where you live I guess.

I'd love to get a 5.1 sound system for a small bedroom, but these floor-standing speakers are too big and just won't work. The fronts and rears need to be wall mounted because there is no floor space for the speakers. Otherwise I'd get this.

Is anyone familiar with the Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 speaker set? I have that in another room and it's pretty good. I'm curious how the sound quality of this Sony SA-VS310 compares to that Onkyo.

Better off with these

So if I got these for $129 a few weeks ago from TigerDirect will the refund me the difference?

Agree. But you'd also need a A/V Receiver, which bumps up the price quite a bit.

Any one know if the subwoofer is good?
