When I bought a 50" HDTV a few years ago, I bought an all in one home theater package.  The type you typically see in the $300-$400 Range. The surround was fun, but for listening to music it was pretty muddy.  I decided to put together a better system.  I started with a Yamaha Rx-V663 receiver and a pair of Polk Tsi-200 bookshelf speakers. Had I stopped there, I would have been very satisfied with that system for music. I listen to a broad range of music, but I have a strong preference for acoustic. And for that the 200s were very impressive for a bookshelf size speaker.  I ended up with a whole Polk system. A 111 woofer, the CS10 and RM 6751 surround speakers. (If you have to make choices to stay within budget, put more money into the front speakers).

The CS10 is, as expected, a good sonic match for the Tsi 200s. For the money, it is a great speaker.  Tht two mid range / bass speakers and the tweeter appear to be the same as the Tsi 200s.  The speaker can handle a lot more volume than I need without reaching a point of distortion.  If you look at my review of the Tsi 200s, I can pretty much say "ditto" for this speaker.  And if you like the grille off look, the Cherry model looks great.

I know some people prefer to mix and match, but I think that, at least for the front speakers, sticking to the same brand and grade speakers makes for a consistent sound across the front wall.

I'm really happy with this system. It does a good job on movies and effects, and for music it really works well.

And if you are upgrading from one of those all in one low cost systems, you will be amazed at the difference.

This is the best value speaker in its category that I have ever found. It's not perfect though but you a lot of bang for your money.

Pros:
*Loud and clear for its size
*Good bass response
*Great materials and finish (brushed aluminum)
*Long lasting battery life
*Great price

Cons:
*Buttons feel cheap compared to rest of the body
*No dedicated volume buttons
*No auto off function after being idle. Battery can drain if you forget to turn the speaker off
*Seems more prone to interference compared to other speakers. E.g. Walking between speaker and phone cuts audio for a very short time.

Great subwoofer and amazing value for $100-$150.  It more than fills my 10x10 room and I keep the volume/gain at halfway.  I have a Sony BVD 3100 HTIB and replaced the factory passive sub with this Polk.  Night and day difference and something anyone with a HTIB should do as well.  All you have to do is cut and strip the speaker wire going to the factory sub and connect to either the L or R audio-in channel on the Polk.  You won't be disappointed.

Great bang for the buck. Stable and well built for $140. All the parts were there and everything fit. Better than other Chinese products I have assembled. Took a little over an hour to assemble.  Good instructions but pretty intuitive anyway.  I could have likely assembled it without the instructions.  Ankle supports are good. Like any inversion table balanced inversion requires proper adjustment of the leg extension. If you don't understand center of gravity concepts and you complain that it doesn't invert, don't blame the table,,,, blame the operator.  You can spend double or triple for other brands but in the end they all do they same thing and they all have the same challenges.

A big bang for your dollars.  Lots of different choices in the box including some flavored coffees and some decaf too. I will be reordering this.

Great bang for the buck!  I only have positive things to say about these headphones; they are a great value!

I ordered this from a different site that had a little better deal at the time. I have owned this device for a little over a month and it is a great, well designed product.

It is actually quite large (tall), but great for sitting on a desk or end table. I have mine on the desk in my office and it doesn't look a bit out of place. As for the fan functionality, i truly believe that it is the amount of air that this device moves that truly impresses. It is a little loud, but its a fan . . . so all in all it's actually quieter than the average blade fan.

The heater functionality is also very good. I do have an electric fireplace that puts out Hotter air, but not nearly at the rate that this device does. I feel that it will heat a room faster, not because of the temperature of the air leaving the device, but again due to the overall amount of air that this thing pushes out.

I can't say that I would have paid $300-$400 for this fan. It really is a great piece of hardware. However, I feel that the cost doesn't reflect what you are actually getting. I got mine as a Dyson certified refurbished unit for $155. So for that price, it was truly a steal. I would say that if you can find one on sale, jump on it. You won't be disappointed.

For the price, this system is very impressive. I was up and running in no time. The system has been opperating a couple of weeks now with no problems. I just wish the NVR had an HDMI output, as well as VGA, but that is easilly fixed with a VGA splitter and converter. This is idea for home secuirity on a budget, as it included absolutely everything you need. The resolution, and the night vision range is really quite impressive. Can't beat the price for what you get here.

A lot better than expected in quality, function, and enjoyable features. Big sound, convenience, and ease of operation are hallmarks of this suprising value.

As far as lower priced auto equipment I am impressed.  I am actually using this to replace a Sunfire Theater Grand I that was running a stack of old Carver amps.  For the price and the options it is hard to beat.  For the money I invested over the years I believed my stereo to sound fantastic and movies were amazing.  So how is it possible for these units that did not cost thousands even be worth having in my home?  These new A/V receives I have tried have sounded fantastic.  Yes better than my Sunfire Theater Grand I.  Although the Sunfire is dated I believed the sound quality to be great.  I was in for a surprise.  I used a Denon AVR and although it was under $400 the sound was incredible.  So I decided to try a lower end Onkyo and found the same results.  Unfortunately the Denon just would not come on one morning and although it was only a little over a year old I was forced into buying something else.  Denon was not very helpful for repair and the cost to send it to them and have it repaired was going to be to costly and inconvenient.  For what you spend on these you might as well just throw them away.  Unfortunately if you are put into a position where you have to spend money for the repair you might as well buy something newer with more options you can use.

So here is the short of it.  When you buy high end stereo equipment you get what you pay for.  You do get amazing sounding equipment and solid customer service.  I have called into Carver and Sunfire.  The tech support is fantastic and you speak with actual engineers.  Justifiably this makes their equipment very expensive.  If money is no object then definitely go that route.  I would if I could.  However things are the way they are and I still need something that sounds good in my home.

Admittedly I do not push my equipment as hard these days.  I mainly use my sound system for movies.  I have been very pleased with the results.  The technology seems to move faster in these lower priced units.  You need something to hook up all your toys to.  Unfortunately, from my research, the high end units don't have all the options as quickly.  These other units as well as the Pioneer have more HDMI connections at a far cheeper price.  No it is not just plug and play for really anything like this.  Just take your time, use the manual, and call their customer service.  For basic hookup I would hope any customer service can help.

As far as direct points to the Pioneer Elite VSX-51, yes it does sound great.  The ability to use the internet radio is fantastic also.  A little difficult to find stations as there is just so many.  But hey....It gives you something to do playing with your new receiver.  I would have been more impressed if the internet / ipod music was displayed better.  Pixelated white letters and a cheep graphic not so impressive.  I can always hope for a update.  If you have your receiver on your network there are updates just like computers; nice option.  I have not known this receiver to run any hotter then others but I believe in keeping equipment well ventilated.  The apps that work with the iphone and ipad work really well.  If you so desire you can change your sound, inputs, and settings quite easily.  I have to admit, I really like this feature.  This is my second purchase for a Pioneer Elite.  I needed to have something I really liked for another room and the Pioneer has given me the best ease and reliability.  I don't know how long it will last or if there will be problems.  Pioneer has been a long standing company and has produced outstanding lower end equipment.  I have never had to have a Pioneer repaired so I guess I am just lucky or they build a good product. So unless you want to go the the small store and buy extremely expensive, extreme quality equipment you can get by with one of these receivers.  You get what you pay for but your dollar will be well spent.

Very good device great bang for your buck.

Great bang for your buck!! I couldn't ask for much more out of this camera for the price point. I have a friend with an old honda and I installed this on her car to help her backing in and out of her tight parking garage.  The installation does take a little bit of work if you are looking to install it to a monitor in your car but I think anyone with basic skills could do it.  Image quality was much better than I expected.  Also the nightvision is an added bonus.

Ok so I had purchased a set of these to test in my theater room. I was running a pair of Polk Monitor 70s (which are fantastic by the way) and rotated the DV-64s in to compare. I highly recommend these as entry level home theater towers. These come in at a price point that makes it your perfect first buy into BIG sound. The bottom 2 speakers are passive radiators which are not powered at all. I hooked these up to an older 75 watt/channel 7.1 Onkyo unit and ran these BICs up front for a whole year. The #1 thing about the BIC speakers is that lovely Venturi tweeter. This is one of my favorite tweeters ever from any speaker line. Nice bright, crystalline, smooth highs.. Ahhh. The DV-64s get 4 stars on account of their VALUE. This is THE budget tower speaker that delivers. I think this is the best sound you can get into for less than $300 a pair. They have terrific highs, great punchy midrange, and very respectable bass response. I ran them without my sub long enough to appreciate decent bass response. They can handle plenty more power so you can throw them onto any receiver. They're built very solid, but the laminated cabinets and fit/finish reflect the low price. Though not the finest or prettiest, there is always beauty in having large towers with lots of drivers on display. They compared very well to the Polk Monitor 70s. Like I said, I simply unplugged my Polks for a year just to test these and was very satisfied. So even though they get 4 stars, I'd say this is by FAR the best sound you can get into for just over $250 a pair. If you're setting up a budget home theater room, go for it! The whole BIC lineup is great and features that silky Venturi tweeter.

This unit may not be for everyone, or those expecting the absolute best in high fidelity and the deepest base.  After all, you get what you pay for.  However, dollar for dollar this unit beats most "sound bars" around the same price hands down.  For me it was perfect for my family room setup and exceeded my expectations.  I consider myself an audiophile.  I already have a separate dedicated home theater room with 110" screen, projector and 4,000 watts of power.  I already own McIntosh, Sunfire, Martin Logan, Ayon, fancy expensive cables, power cleaners, etc. etc.  This unit will obviously not accomplish what my other setup will, but is also does not cost $1000's of dollars.  This ZVOX unit is very substantial, delivers clear crisp audio, more than adequate base for casual movie watching  and music listening, and a surprising amount of base and volume as well.  If you need more base you can add a separate subwoofer.  If you want to connect wirelessly you can hard a wireless module for $30.  However, as-is I am thrilled with this unit and do not hesitate to recommend it to everyone who wants substantial improvement over the stock cruddy sound that comes from present day flat panels.  This one is a keeper!
