looking for new speakers ($120 or less)

[igowerf]

I want to get a surround sound setup to use with my SB Live. i don't want to spend more than $120. I've considered the FPS 2000's but are there other options I should look into? Thanks a lot.

Get the FPS 1000's then.

My friend has it and they sound quite nice. Don't expect low bass, the bass is more punchy, than low and rumbling.

Get the 2000's, they're certainly worth the extra money. They have alot more power, and the subwoofer is twice as big. Plus, the remote is better, and they have digital input.

I opted for the Altec Lansing ACS56's over the FPS200's. They are considerably more powerful and IMO sound much better.
You can find them for about $105+shipping.
Check out the prices here:

And here are a couple of reviews:

You could pay a lot more and get a lot less.

I'll second what ibbilbo said. The acs56 are more powerful and louder than fps2000 speakers. Also the acs56's have bass and treble control's, unlike the fps2000 speakers which only has a bass control on the sub.

i got FPS2000 digital for $70 shipped from
mobshop.
the cycle ended at $114.95 - 17% (pointclick
+ ebates) - $25 (visa) = $70.
