Pyle Home PHSA5 5.1 Home Theater System With Active Subwoofer and Five Satellite Speakers (Electronics) newly tagged "home theater systems"

Share on :

I bought this set used for $106. The mounts suck due to having set their angles before you mount them but the satellite speakers sound great. The subwoofer leaves a little to be desired, but I liked that you do have control over the sub's volume and frequency levels.

I own a Bose Acousticmass 6 in my living room and decided to place these side by side for a comparison. The satellites sound the exact same it terms of quality. The difference is in the bass. The Pyle set can be a bit too boomy if you turn the volume up. I found that by tweaking my receivers bass volume rather than on the system's knob I could get crisper dB's of bass without the boom. As other reviewers have mentioned, the central channel speaker doesn't come with any mounting options so be prepared to place a small ikea shelf or something under it for clean mounting. One last thing I should note is that to connect these to you your receiver you will need either an RCA Y-Adapter or RCA (Red/Black) cables to connect from the sub's line out into the subwoofer RCA out on your amplifier.

I used this:

Overall, great for the money. I wouldn't buy this for your main surround system (living room), but for a game room or man cave, these are great.
