Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 Home Peaker System
I recently purchased these 7.1 surround speakers because I wanted the best sound out of my new Sony BLu-Ray player and new 46″ LCD Bravia High Def TV.

Speakers sound great
And I got a great deal on them too. Only thing I don’t like is the rear and side speakers are a bit difficult to mount. For the price I definitely recommend though!

For $300ish, the sound is fantastic. Set-up is straightforward if you follow directions. I did end up manually adjusting the individual speaker volumes to suit my tastes.

SKS-HT540
I’ve had the SKS-HT540 speakers for about a week and am using them paired with an Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver to play movies from a Phillips DVP 5960 upscaling DVD player via HDMI and…

Of course my horse…
So I paired these speakers with the Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver and it’s pretty much the sweet bomb diggity.

Great Speakers
Great speakers, great price. Only drawback is they’re not great for wall mounting. The front speakers are not designed to be mounted.

As good as I hoped, and I hoped for a lot
I’m not going to make any claims about what these speakers sound like compared to really high end systems, because the truth is I’ve never owned a really high end system.

i carefully read reviews and researched these speakers before buying and im NOT disappointed. i was looking to replace a 7. 1 setup from Denon that had small stylish satellie speakers. well, the sound matched the speakers — SMALL! yes, these Onkyos are a little larger than most common surround sets. but big sound resonates best from bigger speaker cabinets. if the Bose concept is so great, why dont movie theaters and rock concerts use tiny little speakers?? bottom line — because you cant get the same big sound and resonance from tiny speakers. sound is based on vibration, and bigger speakers give bigger sound vibration. these Onkyos have full rich sound with deep bass and great highs as well. a lot of speakers can handle mid-range and bass fine, but fall by the side when it comes to higher registers. i often listen to Native American music with flutes and rich high tones. these Onkyos reproduce the full spectrum of these elegant flutes in full detail. and the price cant be beat. you wont be disappointed!!!

These are absolutely the best speakers for the price. Everything comes packed in a rather big and heavy(72lbs) box. The speakers are well packed in this big box. The build quality and finish is excellent. Especially, the subwoofer is huge and sounds sweet, it turns on and off automatically. I am surprised that they included such a big subwoofer at this price. I hooked these speakers to Sony-STR-DG800 receiver. All the speakers have spring clips(cheap) to connect the speaker wire. Speaking of the speaker wire, the supplied speaker wire is also cheap. And for the price I paid, I absolutely don’t have any complaints about that. All the surround speakers are wall mountable. The bottom line, I am very satisfied with these speakers and recommend to anyone not very particular about the size.
