Many electronic experts will insist that going cheap on speakers is going to lead to disappointment; however there are a handful of home theater surround-sound speakers under $400 that will provide quality sound in your home. These speakers will work best if you’re primarily watching TV shows, but will still do the job for movies and sports events.
I recently came across a great speaker system in this price range and I’ll discuss the low-down in this article. I’ll also discuss some options for the future as you get the urge to expand your system, bigger and beyond the stock option I’ll discuss.
Fluance has a speaker system I was extremely impressed with for only $200 (approximately). It’s called the Fluance AVHTB+ and what keeps this system so cost efficient is the large front channel speakers are responsible for delivering the bass. Normally a sub-woofer would handle this, but these 33 inch speakers can handle delivering a strong enough bass (unless it’s a large room).
These full-range speakers were a surprise to me and many others as they perform at a much higher quality than expected based on their price. These speakers are made with solid wood and protected with a magnetic protection so they can be positioned nearby the TV.
These speakers, the Fluance AVHTB+ two front channel speakers are different than what you typically see in a home theater these days. They remind me of the speakers back in the day, when speakers delivered all frequencies from the same speaker. They’re also large like they were then as well, standing at 33 inches and 27lbs each.
Now if you’re really into bass, you may want to consider adding a sub-woofer. You can purchase a sub-woofer for approximately $200 to go with this system. If you’re room is 250 square feet or smaller, than the two front-channel speakers will do just fine. If the rooms on the larger side, than it would be a good investment to add on if you’re into the bass.
If you decide to add the sub-woofer and wish to continue adding to your system, there are more options. Fluance also has rear-channel speakers that can be purchased for $100 each. With the addition of two more speakers, you’ll have a six or seven channel system.
This is just one of many options available in this price range. With the convenience of shopping online these days, make sure to search around before making any purchases. I also recommend going into a store to hear the sound, before making your final purchase as well. Good luck and enjoy the entertainment!
