If you want them then I'd just jump on these at this price. I have my doubts about these ever returning to $73 due to import issues and inflation.

These are great for this price. Purchased last year for similar price.

Anybody looking for a decent bookshelf speakers can try these. They don't disappoint.

Thanks for sharing OP. Repped. I would have jumped on these if I hadn't got too many speakers already!

Agreed. With supply chain disruptions raising cost of manufacturing, a 10-20% price increase (or more) have already happened or are coming shortly. For this speaker, $87 is the new $73 deal for 2021.

Do these and the corresponding towers, center, and Atmos work well enough? Keep seeing deals on speakers, and all together (2 towers, 2 bookshelf, 1 center, 2 Atmos), these seem in line with price on recent sales on Klipsch and Jamo speaker sets. Looking for best bang for the buck (roughly $600-$700 on 5.0.2 speakers), any experience with these sets vs others?

These were $73 back in July as well as last Black Friday. I'd wait a bit if you want a better price.

YouTube reviews aren't as good on the towers as the bookshelf speakers. You might check out cheapaudioman on YouTube. He does a lot of reviews on speakers in that range. Danny Richie at GR Research also has a good YouTube but he gets more into the audiophile stuff and upgrading lower end speakers to perform.

Yes! I have these in a 7.1.4 setup using only the Core speakers and they work great.. except for the subwoofer, and the center channel could be better. I'd even go as far as to say even one of these SSCS5 might work better than the center channel. The sub is mostly useless.

The towers look and sound great, but don't offer too much more than the bookshelves in terms of quality or range.

I started with a 7.2 setup (center, 2 towers, 4 bookshelves -- all Sony core line) and upgraded to a center and 6 towers and didn't notice much of a change, but mostly because the bookshelves were so good)

I added on 4x Atmos speakers and ceiling mounted them and it's been working great for me.

Yes, it's not going to be as good as a high end brand, but for a 500-600 setup, it works great.

The sub just felt too cheap and underpowered. I replaced it with 3x R-120SW's and some couch shakers and the entire system sounds great for a home theater living room

Been looking at these for a while. Just Purchased a pair. Very well reviewed from many sources and seem to be "no brainer" when compared to other $88 options.

THREE subs for 7.3.4 AND bass shakers (what kind/how many/separate amp?)? how much was your receiver??? lol i'm trying to go for that dolby cinema at home experience and have been looking into the shakers for my dual-recliner couch, but haven't made the jump yet.

also yeah i think you might be a little out of the range of what the average person is asking about using these for their setups hahah

I use these as the rears in my 5.1 surround setup and have been happy with them for the price. I paid around $77 i think a year ago.

I went with 2x Fosi Audio M02 subwoofer amps (about $50 each) and 4x AuraSound Pro bass shakers (about $50-75 each) for a 3-seater sofa -- 2 amps will let you adjust the levels independently of each other (I have 1 in each side and 2 in the center/back, so being able to lower the power to the sides is nice)

Amp is a denon x2700h

Some people thing 1 per chair or 2 per couch is plenty for the shakers, so you might want to start smaller. I started with 2 and whether I had them in the back of the couch, underneath the seats or in the sides, it just felt a little lacking so I added more

The shakers let you keep the subs lower. I just recommend an amp similar to the above (a subwoofer amp) so that you can adjust the frequency cutoff for the subs, otherwise they'll be pumping the entire time audio is going through them
