Home theater speakers are probably not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Onkyo. More likely their top-selling lineup of home theater receivers. Or perhaps even Onkyo's popular home theater receiver and speakers in a box packages.

But you ended up here shopping for just a new surround sound speaker system. If you've already got your home theater receiver taken care of and you're looking for an inexpensive six-piece or eight-piece package to set up 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, consider one of Onkyo's SKS HT speaker systems featured in the slideshow.

The Onkyo SKS-HT870 7.1 speaker package, for example, includes a pair of tallboy floor standing speakers for the front left and right channels, a matching center channel speaker, four compact speakers for side and rear surround sound effects, and a powered subwoofer to provide all the low frequency bass effects.

As long as you are not hoping for audiophile sound quality, what more could you want for just a few hundred dollars? Leave room in your budget for speaker wire and a subwoofer cable.
