Onkyo SKS-HT640 5.1-Channel Home Speaker System for $300, and code EMCJHHA29 applies $100 off in the cart.

It is very strange that for a product like this, priced at $230, and not a single review anywhere on the Internet, possibly due to the subwoofer's only 120-watt power output.
A similar product, a Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1-Channel Home Speaker System is available for $15 less, has lots of reviews, and includes a 230-watt subwoofer.

- Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for $45
