Boston Acoustics MCS-100 (black)

Description: The Boston Acoustics MCS-100 is a five speaker, compact surround sound system.Compared to other compact speaker systems on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $350.

Pros: Buying a speaker system (rather than mixing and matching components) takes the guesswork out of making sure you have voice-matched speakers.Matched speakers in a home theater speaker system will result in a more seamless, plausible, and enveloping sound experience.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: Suited for smaller rooms.

Value: In general, this speaker system's features are in line with its price.
