The Monoprice Premium 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system is down to $143.99 with free shipping at Monoprice. That free shipping part is important. Normally, this system costs around $180 and Monoprice often charges ridiculous shipping as high as $41.
This speaker system has always been hindered by Monoprice's shipping prices because it's sold way overpriced at other retailers like Amazon and it's a great way to add surround sound to your home on a budget.
With this system, you get four satellite and one single center speaker with three-inch mid-range drivers and 3/4-inch aluminum dome tweeters. It can handle up to 100 watts and has an impedance of eight ohms. The powered subwoofer has an eight-inch downward firing speaker and a 200 watt amplifier, although you can use it with any amplifier thanks to line and stereo inputs. You can mount the speakers just about anywhere and they come with unive3rsal 1/4-inch threaded insert mounting options. You'll want a little space in the back because of the rear-firing ports.
