Are Frisby surround sound system good?

Hunteil · 04-18-2008, 08:16 AM

I failed finding reviews for Frisby sound systems online and was wondering if anyone else had any opinions on the systems.
I'm currently looking at this model: (Total: $120)

Heres the only customer related reviews I've found. The one guy says it work good though...

Sounds like a ripe scam.

I have an Onkyo home theater system and it only puts out 1,000w maximum. The idea that this thing can do 3,000w is just laughable. Especially for the $120 asking.... It doesn't even have digital inputs which is all but required for good home theater or PC sound.

Even something like this from Creative would sound great. My room mate use a slightly older version and it is LOUD and very clear.

When you see PMPO, you can rest assured it's junk.

Some basic info please: What are you looking for? Home theater? Computer games? Music? Everything? Price range? Size of your room?

Not familiar with that brand, but I think you'd better get something reliable.

Okay so Frisby could be a scam so i'm not gona waste my money.

I decided to go to a physical store and see what they had and for about $100 more you can get what you want and more. So I went with that. That and you get to actully hear the product and have help. Thanks guys. :-)
