Got this from another forum off someone who got it off another forum, not sure if the guy knows what he's talkin about but i dont know much about speakers myself so i thought someone on here may have a clue....

Set of Acoustic Energy Aegis Speakers consisting of a 5 speaker package for home cinema: £134 + del.

Original post...

"They are for a set of Acoustic Energy Aegis Speakers consisting of a 5 speaker package for home cinema duties.

These are a highly regarded brand in the Hi Fi World and should not be confused with Acoustic Solutions who are erm...not, to say the least.

This will blow all those cheap supermarket jobbies right out of the water!

The package consists of a centre speaker (for dialogue), two rear speakers (bookshelfs) and two front floorstanding speakers. The centre speaker is black while the rest are beech. These are solid speakers!

I spoke with a friend of mine earlier today who told me the centre speaker itself is worth £130, the fronts £250, and the rears £180 seperately!! The website advertises an RRP of £599 which is quite right.

The speakers come highly recommended in Hi Fi publications such as What Hi Fi and they have won numerous awards.

A word of warning however - you will not get 'true' home cinema from this package unless you have a 5.1 amplifier and a sub-woofer for extra low bass frequencies. Even if you dont have a home cinema i would buy this package just for the front floorstanders! As a matter of fact - i did!

So anyway - how much and where

£134.01 for the WHOLE speaker package and £14.99 delivery
