Speakers certainly make for a nice Christmas present. Whether you're gifting that option to a friend or yourself, everyone could definitely use some better sound. Sure, a soundbar is easy to set up, but it typically can't beat what you get from a full complement of speakers.
Even better, sometimes an entire speaker package can be economical. (That's right; we said it!) We found Amazon selling the Boston Acoustics A 2310 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System for just $449.99, which is cheaper than some of the current soundbar products out there. This price is also 50 percent off the MSRP from Boston Acoustics -- and includes free shipping!
It also includes a full 5.1 speaker complement. The six-speaker package has four surround speakers, one center-channel speaker, and a powerful down-firing subwoofer. We reviewed this set when it first came out and said, "You'd be hard-pressed to find a system for less that goes as low and is as musical as this one, so we do think the A 2310 HTS provides excellent value for your money." And that was when it was full price! [Read the full Boston Acoustics A 2310 HTS Surround Sound Speaker Package Review for more information.]
It's important to note that each of the A 23 speakers has a 3.5-inch ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofer and one 1-inch Kortec soft dome tweeter. The A 223C center channel is similar, with one extra 3.5-inch driver. Rounding out the package is the ASW 250 subwoofer. Weighing in at 32 pounds, this unit is the bulk of the package, with a 10-inch Deep Channel woofer and an internal amp that pounds out 100 watts RMS (250 watts peak) of power.

Just remember to order this product directly through Amazon and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. At last peek, Amazon had the lowest price. Also, they are offering free shipping on this package, which is a nice little bonus. Enjoy!
