Finding an Affordable Speaker System for your Home Theater

There’s the old saying, “you get what you pay for” and many would insist that going cheap on speakers for your home theater will end up with a disappointing result. However, after doing my research I’ve come across several surround-sound speakers priced below $400 that will completely surprise you. If you’re looking to add a sound system to enhance your favorite TV shows and you’re on a budget, I have a solution for you.

This guide will share one of the best options I’ve recently seen available for under $400. I’ll also discuss some options for you down the road as you look to expand on your surround sound system.

Fluance has a speaker system I was extremely impressed with for only $200 (approximately). It’s called the Fluance AVHTB+ and what keeps this system so cost efficient is the large front channel speakers are responsible for delivering the bass. Normally a sub-woofer would handle this, but these 33 inch speakers can handle delivering a strong enough bass (unless it’s a large room).

These full-range speakers were a surprise to me and many others as they perform at a much higher quality than expected based on their price. These speakers are made with solid wood and protected with a magnetic protection so they can be positioned nearby the TV.

These speakers, the Fluance AVHTB+ two front channel speakers are different than what you typically see in a home theater these days. They remind me of the speakers back in the day, when speakers delivered all frequencies from the same speaker. They’re also large like they were then as well, standing at 33 inches and 27lbs each.

Now if you’re really into bass, you may want to consider adding a sub-woofer. You can purchase a sub-woofer for approximately $200 to go with this system. If you’re room is 250 square feet or smaller, than the two front-channel speakers will do just fine. If the rooms on the larger side, than it would be a good investment to add on if you’re into the bass.

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’ll have a six or seven channel speaker system.

This is just one of many options available in this price range. With the convenience of shopping online these days, make sure to search around before making any purchases. I also recommend going into a store to hear the sound, before making your final purchase as well. Good luck and enjoy the entertainment!
