| Bottom line | This five-piece home-theater speaker package offers shockingly good sound for a mere $199. | You can't beat Fluance's rock-bottom pricing, solid construction, and sound quality, which rivals that of more expensive speakers. | The Monoprice 8247 does the impossible by offering a competent 5.1 speaker system for less than $100, setting a new standard for ultrabudget speakers. |
