Onkyo SKS-HT690 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System (Black, 6)

Product Description

Introducing an affordable speaker set that will bring a deeper dimension to your movies, games, and music. Comprising a powered subwoofer, two-way front and center speakers, and full-range satellites-all gloss-finished-the SKS-HT690 delivers lifelike surround sound with finesse. Here, style is backed by serious substance. Subtle front-on curves are complemented by a rounded rear section that counteracts unwanted standing waves. Cradle one of these speakers in your palm and you'll feel a reassuring heft. Reason? It's Onkyo's newly developed high-density resin, which provides superb rigidity and resistance to vibration. The down-firing subwoofer, meanwhile, employs a 10 (25 cm) cone to deliver a tight and balanced low-end.


  • Magnetically Shielded, High Gloss 2-Way Acoustic Suspension Front and Center Speakers
  • Magnetically Shielded, High Gloss Full-Range Acoustic Suspension Surround Speakers
  • 120 Watt Bass Reflex Powered 10" Subwoofer

Since there is no review of these speakers anywhere on the internet I feel some added responsibility to put one up.

I am no CNET, but here we go:

The Good:

They look high end with a high gloss piano-black finish. Surprisingly powerful for the size. Music sounds good.... not just for movies.

The Bad:

Closed boxes and the connections are push terminal, which seems kind of low end. I had trouble getting my large speaker wires into the terminal. The center speaker is a bit underwhelming, but blends well if the front speakers are close enough.

The bottom line:

If you want a great bang for your buck and are on a serious budget, then these are a deal. MSRP at 450 puts them up against "The Pioneer SP-PK21BS" and the "Engery Take Classic 5.1", which is some stiff competition in the budget space (probably why they lowered the price).
