Any recommendations for a 2.1 system in a box for my living room TV? I'd like a decent powered sub (25 - 50 watts) and two satelite speakers with mounting brackets. All powered from the sub box. The speakers are connected to the sub box using an RCA cable. I want to spend aroun $200. Any suggestions??

    I'll be there Saturday Tom. I was thinking of that and of course I'll look. The powered sub that also powers the left/right speakers is the challenge. I know he's got some nice Satelites.

    Are you interested in an SVS sub? I need to go over to vintagehifipittsburgh and post an ad.

    I would love to listen to an SVS sub. I just bought a second Sunfire so I have more than enough sub to go around.

    See you Saturday!

    MAN is right! buy those! I have listened to them and they are awesome. I mean, there's almost 1100 reviews for them and most are 5 stars

    I've seen those and the reviews are great. The price is unbelievable! I just wish the had mounting brackets. Also, I'm not sure that I like the angular baffle. It leaves you searching for the sweet spot by trial and error. These are very high on my list!
