of course , like most consumer , I be look for the best possible sound system for the best possible price . as a hobbyist music composer , sound quality have always be of significant importance to I . so , when some friend stay with we and I hook up my monitor headphone to we tv to play some early morning FIFA 12 , I realize how incredibly lack the factory speaker be . off I be to the internet to see what be available and there I find the rca rt151 home Theatre Sound System . pro : - really great value . - decent , clear sound - 80 watt be perfect for we modest living room -lrb- 175sq ft -rrb- inside a Brooklyn 6 family brownstone . - more than enough speaker cable for placement around the room -lrb- can not say how many time in the past I have have to purchase\/splice more wire -rrb- . - audio input on front -lrb- 1\/8 '' AUX -rrb- - awesome for quickly plug in a ipod\/smart phone\/tablet and jam some tune . - remote - you can control the volume of each dimensional channel -lrb- front , rear and subwoofer -rrb- but you can not power up\/down the unit . : -lrb- - Easy installation - each satellite speaker have color coordinate wires\/terminals . - basic rear audio input - -lrb- rca cable -rrb- two source : dvd \/ AUX . - slick , basic aesthetic - personally , the look of this unit do have a lot to do with my sway of this purchase . the surround speaker be simple look and not gawdy like most other similar model on the market . Main unit w \/ subwoofer be simple in design too . it do not look out of place with we other video\/audio component under the tv . con : - if you be look for huge bass , this be not the system . the subwoofer be only a 4 '' cone , so it be not go to shake painting off you wall -lrb- which could be a good thing if you , like I , live in a apartment building ! -rrb- . - no mount on rear of satellite speaker . - can not power on\/off the main unit with remote . - do not work with universal remote . - do not have optical or digital audio in which , IMO , should be more prevelant on device in the current market . rca input signal be suitable , but certainly not what you can get from a digital or optical signal -lrb- obviously if you be a audiophile with supreme quality as you goal , you would be research completely different system -rrb- . something worth mention too be that the first unit I receive be defective . the subwoofer cone wheeze and rattle and be clearly blow . in addition , neither of the front speaker output produce a signal to the speaker . I be guess I receive a poor example of a refurb or the like , but it be frustrate nonetheless . of course , with Amazon 's customer service , I wait a mere two day for the replacement . and now , after about two week of own this system , I be still very satisfied . keep in mind I be not crank tune through this system like I do with my studio monitor . but for watch tv , movie and play video game , this sound system be level above the factory speaker on a hdtv . this system be a great value and a perfect solution for add sound quality to you television .
