If it is the same as the Take Classics, then the sub is only 50watts RMS. The 200 watt number is peak power.
The 8247, while good for its price, is inferior to this system in almost every aspect,...

Products are often copied, without the same internals. Unless somebody has something to back it up - it's really misleading to claim they are the same speakers.

I did say that a supplemental 12" would make it sound better in a large room, but meant in conjunction WITH an 8" sub. The crossover would have the 8" catch the lows small speakers can't and the 12"...

True dat. I just purchased these a week or so ago (at a higher price) and you just get the speakers. You need to supply your own connections.
