No, this is not the same company that makes cheap ball-point pens. BIC America has been manufacturing high-performance speakers since 1973.

The BIC VK6LCR-12 5.1 speaker package includes five high-gloss black lacquer 3-way LCR speakers that can be wall-mounted in horizontal or vertical configuration. Each speaker features dual 6½ inch premium grade Kevlar woofers, a 2½ inch Kevlar midrange driver, and a 1 inch liquid-cooled titanium tweeter. Low frequency effects are handled by the VK-12 front-firing 12-inch Kevlar 250-watt powered subwoofer. If you are wanting to set up 7.1 channel surround, you should purchase two more VK6-LCR speakers.

If you prefer floor standing tower speakers for the front left and right speakers, consider one of the two BIC Acoustech 5.1 packages. You get either the PL-76 or PL-89 towers, the PL-26 or PL-28 center channel speaker, a pair of PL-66 rear surrounds, and the H100 or PL-200 powered subwoofer. If you want to set up 7.1 surround sound, you should also order a pair of PL-66 surround speakers separately.

Want to eliminate rear surrounds entirely? Consider the BIC Formula FH-56BAR 5-channel soundbar and H100 powered subwoofer bundle.
