Introduction
This is a must have solution for any application requiring a compact clutter free and inconspicuously mounted installation. For a limited time, EMP is extending more than 50% off their MSRP plus FREE shipping which makes this system even more attractive and a very uncommon value. So basically $729 gets you 5 high performance compact satellite speakers and their new high power compact e10S subwoofer. This is a “cubed speaker system” killer for well under $1k.

Check out this system. It retails for $1,100 but I got it for $189 and the sale is still going on. Do your homework. It is a really nice 5.1 system for the price. Dont buy a crappy system in a box. Check it out and you will agree that this package is awesome. go to Emptek website
Hi, Its Ponking again. I got the system around Christmas with Pioneer VSX-1090ah-k. I love watching my Blue rays. the beginning scene in the Terminator is sick (Gen X lingo meaning awesome). The sound out of these speaker is gets better and better. The price has gone up since i bought the package but in my opionion, still worth it.

I was thinking about jumping on the $250 deal, but was a bit afraid because of the huge price drop.

Just curious, will RBH allow AH to sell their products here?
NO. RBH is very strict against online sales of RBH branded speakers, that's why they have EMP. One of thier staff spends time every week digging through Craigslist and EBay for grey market resellers and getting thier ads canned.

I had the same confusion. I believe the system you ordered has the CSS100:

The reviewed system with the ECA-4 series is $249:

The only obvious visual difference is the notch in the middle of the center speaker.
The specs are very similar.
