Pros

  • Good looking system
  • Very inexpensive for a $500 full-size set of home theater speakers
  • Perform on par with $500 5.1 speaker systems but look more impressive.

Cons

  • No subwoofer
  • Uneven frequency response, partially due to mediocre drivers and non-removable decorative speaker covers
  • Somewhat muddy mid-range

Introduction

Every once in a while we'll take in a set of speakers from a relatively unknown company in order to see what's available on the market and if some independent shops have some value products available for consumers. Canyon Audio is a manufacturer based in Nevada who works with some domestic designers to have custom modifications made to products which are then manufactured overseas to keep costs down.
