Buying home theater speakers means knowing what you practically want and zeroing in on something worth paying for. But imagine the wealth of information available out there from no-nonsense websites. This means understanding the range of options and prices available out there doesn't have to wear you out. So, what are you aiming at? Some tech-heavy audiophiles make light of budget speakers, which actually has some basis, although not really a blanket accusation. And so, in reality, affordable home theater speaker systems meant for TV and audio enjoyment really do exist.

On the other hand, why not go for a complete home theater so as to keep costs down? Most buyers who want to avoid the headaches simply settle for a home theater system with a matched receiver/DVD player and surround-sound speakers.

Out of 50 Home Theater Speaker surveys “surveyed,” Consumer Search latched on to the following: Infinity Total Solutions TSS-450, Onkyo SKS-HT240, and HSU Research Ventriloquist Performance 1.

Infinity Total Solutions TSS-450

“Best budget home theater speakers.” And what is surprising about this enticing title is that this product is a 5.1 surround-sound system, with a subwoofer to boot. The affordable price will continue to surprise as sound reproduction is excellent and the system can bring on the needed bass in smaller rooms. With a bulky sub and tiny satellites, the Infinity is a bonus to rooms that may feel cramped with five full-sized speakers plus a subwoofer. At least one concern about the Infinity is that the speakers are too small to produce a midrange sound.

Onkyo SKS-HT240

“Wall-mountable surround-sound speakers.” According to reviews, the well-rated Onkyo SKS-HT240's wall mountable speakers both deliver effectively the looks plus the sounds. The system specifically consists of a 6.1-channel speaker kit with satellite and center channel speakers that are just 3.5 inches thick. You can also opt to used the included stands for the speakers. The 150-watt subwoofer is said to outperform other speakers in its price range.

Good news for home theater speaker buyers: Consumer Search reported that among the top review publications which in turn got reviewed, there is actually a consensus on several surround-sound speakers. HSU and SVS speakers are the hardest to come by, given that the direct suppliers—the manufacturers themselves—give previews at Orange County, California. The Infinity Total Solutions TSS-450 is one name to remember among the budget segment since it has a true subwoofer. The Onkyo SKS-HT240 is well-cited as wall-mountable speakers that will be a great companion to a flat-screen TV. The Mirage Nanosat's satellite speakers are touted by reviews as equipped with multidirectional technology which can do justice to a a family room full of listeners. Lastly, the KEF KHT-3005 heads the list of high-end speakers.
