By KENDRA BRUNING
Wharfedale
Since its founding in 1933 as Wharfedale Wireless Works, the Wharfedale company has been manufacturing speakers for commercial, military, and residential needs.
The brand has built a reputation as a superb manufacturer, but its quality-to-price ratio sets it apart, with HiFi Trends noting its cheapest speakers have excellent sound.
Onkyo
The Japanese company Onkyo has established itself as an innovator in the sound industry and has some of the most beginner-friendly surround sound systems available.
Many reviewers have pointed to Onkyo products for their reliability, features, and price points. Home Cinema Choice noted that the Onkyo TX-NR6100 was an excellent value.
Polk
Polk Audio has created a niche in the audio industry, offering an immersive listening experience without the steep prices typically associated with high-fidelity systems.
Reviewers like Tech Hive and Tech Radar were impressed with the quality and highly affordable price of Polk's React 4.1 surround system.
HEADline
Although it's known for its PC peripherals and accessories, Logitech has established itself as an affordable, mid-tier audio option with its Z906 5.1 surround sound system.
According to Tech Spot, the Z906 is fantastic with a gaming rig or movies, offering a crisp and powerful sound that is THX-certified for only under $400.
Dali
The Scandinavian company, Dali, has been crafting speaker systems since 1983, with the guiding principle of delivering sound that's as close to 'authentic' as possible.
In their review of the Oberon 7c Bluetooth surround sound system, Audioholics highlighted its ease of setup that's as straightforward as pressing a connect button.
