My Favorite Speakers Under $400
Many electronic experts will insist that going cheap on speakers will lead to disappointment; however there is a handful of home theater surround-sound speakers under $400 that may provide quality sound in your home. These speakers will work best if you’re primarily viewing television shows, but will still do the job for movies and sports events.
The guide will share one of the better options I’ve recently seen readily available for under $400. I’ll also discuss some options for you down the road as you look to expand in your surround sound system.
The device I was most impressed with may be the Fluance AVHTB+ which is priced about $200. It’s most common to determine a surround-sound system employing a sub-woofer to deliver the bass, however the Fluance uses its large front channel speakers to deliver the low frequency sounds (bass).
These full-range speakers were a surprise to me and many others as they perform at a greater quality than expected based on their price. These speakers are made with solid wood and guarded with a magnetic protection so they can be positioned nearby the TV.
These speakers, the Fluance AVHTB+ two front channel speakers will vary than what you typically see in the house theater these days. They remind me of the speakers back in the day, when speakers delivered all frequencies in the same speaker. They’re also large like these folks were then as well, standing around 33 inches and 27lbs each.
Without a sub-woofer, the bass may lack a little during those intense moments through the movies, but a sub-woofer are available for an additional $200. If your room is larger than 250 sq ft, than the additional sub-woofer may possibly be a good idea, you can definitely it’s 250 sq ft or less, than you ought to be just fine without it.
The Fluance AVHTB+ can continue to grow beyond the addition of the sub-woofer. You can do this over-time as many people to for their home theaters and add rear-channel speakers for an additional $100 each. Now you will have six or seven channel speakers.
This is just one of many options available in this price range. With all the convenience of shopping online these days, make sure to search around before you make any purchases. I also recommend going into a local store to hear the sound, before you make your final purchase also. Good luck and enjoy the entertainment!
