Price - buyers should always be wary of products with a high MSRP ($2600) and sell for 75-80% off. It tells you the product was designed with marketing in mind, not performance. A buyer should expect that there will be significant parts sharing among other low end / bargain products from the same manufacturer. Also note that low end speakers have very little to no resale market.
Reviews - sorry but you won't find any professional reviews for products at this price point and for a reason. Manufacturers don't want to submit products at low price points that may get a poor professional review.
Specs - the specs the manufacturer provides for FR have no +/- range so they are meaningless numbers. Again, this is a marketing ploy to make a product look like it performs better than it does. Reputable manufacturers provide +/- 3dB ranges, some less reputable companies may use +/- 6dB as a range, but any company that has no range at all listed means either low performance or poor ability to maintain that specification.
Demo - You won't be able to demo these in store anywhere, so make sure you are familiar with the vendors return policies / restocking charges.
Marketing - a look at their data sheets shows a lot of nonsensical audio jargon that is intended to sound like great features, but are either available on every other product or are just meaningless terms with no data to back them up. Theses include: dedicated sound guidance, high-res tweeter module, Ventilated voice-coil unit, Solid metal basket with generous ventilation openings, Big Bi-Wiring/Bi-Amping connecting terminal, rounded reflex opening for reducing wind noises
Vendor - as noted this vendor constantly gets advertised on SD and the posts are made by SD employees (Just like this post). They are promoted to frontpage status well before any other deal (This one is FP with only 13 votes). This is done so that SD gets their affiliate cash from the vendor.
Bundles - this is a way for manufacturers to get rid of excess stock / inventory and you see these listed all the time on SD. Unless you were looking for this exact setup, then it is likely this combination won't be the ideal setup in your space.

Also I just got this set today super fast shipping via UPS (minus 1 of the fronts is coming from across the country) and they sound amazing defiantly worth it for this price if you want a good sounding 5.1. I dont think other speakers in this price range sound this good (I have tested other VOXX brands)
That being said if you are on a budget this $399 deal on the slightly smaller set might be a better value

I wonder if these aren't the same speakers of yester-year 🤔

I thought this post didn't make it up.
I bought the $379 set for pc speakers to run off a high end pc Logitech set up.
I have high end HT set ups 11.4.4 running off of flagship components.
But if it's your first HT, you will be pleasantly surprised. Or have pets and if they get trashed not a big loss.
I also submitted these without a picture 2 hours ago., I'm new today
Thanks for the follow up Iconian.
This is more of a comparison,
Save $220 go with the set at $379, without a center, or pick up a center.
Magnat Home Audio Bundle: Supreme 2002 Floorstanding, 202 Shelf Speakers & Alpha RS Subwoofer
SKU: MGTD1448201K MFR: D14482001NA 1K
$379 set has 2 x 8"woofers, 25mm tweeter and same mid. Magnetic shield. Lists at 4 to 8 ohms.
18 Hz to 40,000 Hz, floor speaker cabinet 52 lbs.
12" subwoofer,
Model year November 2013.
Manufactured from solid 3/4" MDF panels and is extremely resistant to any kind of intrinsic resonance.
The baffle of the Monitor Supreme 2002 has been visually offset from the rest of the housing and is a feature that defines the design of this Magnat speaker.
Equipped with two 200 mm bass drivers and one 170 mm midrange driver, which offer a particularly high level of dynamics in the bass segment and good precision over the entire frequency range.
The coated 25 mm fabric dome with its newly developed tweeter flange also ensures significantly enhanced dispersion properties.
The set here, 599, all speakers have piano black fronts and are model year October 2019 newer model more expensive,
The newer model brings a $2,600 higher price increase but you get less quality.
$599 set has 2 x 6 1/2" woofers, 19 and 30 mm tweeters and same mid. Bi wire able. Lists at 4 ohms. 92dB
23 Hz to 53,000Hz, floor speaker cabinet 45.5 lbs.

I am ok with not having the center in 2002, can pick one up locally in marketplace

They are rated at 8 ohms.
That easier on your AVR.
