for the past few years mana price has had a reputation for good gear at ridiculously low prices but it's new 13 773 surround set of speakers isn't quite up to the standard we've come to expect it's cheap at 200 dollars and it's a full 5.1 setup it sounds great with movies and has a really forward exciting sound the eight-inch sub is really the start and can go quite deep it mixes quite well with the satellites which are about six inches by four inches square these speakers feature paper drivers and point 5-inch polymer tweeters the 13 773 replaces the clones of the energy take classic set which came out a few years ago the nine seven seven four and then the ten five six five and while these speakers now feature a lower price inevitably they will be compared to the older set and that is a problem the issue is that the exciting sound these have is two sibling for listening to music whether it's violins tambourines or even the human voice music takes on a steely edge that can make this speaker set difficult to listen to compared to the 977 4s the new speakers lacked the finesse of the old model but given this is the replacement for the mono prices budget range this is now the only option you have that's available as the price if you never listen to music the treble forward nature of the speakers won't be an issue movie dialogue sounds clean and clear of nasal nests and boxiness if you want to listen to the occasional tune though you might need to consider paying more for a system from say pioneer or the energies this has been ty Pendlebury for cnet.com
