If you are looking for high-end music speakers, and you do not have the budget to spend thousands (or tens of thousands) on true audiophile products, there have typically been few options to sate your musical desire. Yet a little known manufacturer is destined to change all of that, with a top-notch pair of music speakers that join a comprehensive list of home theater products, all at a bargain basement price defying their performance.

The company is Home Theater 2U, and it offers factory-direct pricing that make its flagship music product, the “3D MATRIX Stereo Speakers” a mere $499 when purchased in a pair (and include high performance cables!). Try to find any reasonable performer in this price range, and you are sure to be disappointed, making the “3D MATRIX” an immediate value even before plugging the cables into your amplifier.

Fortunately, the “3D MATRIX” truly defies its price, as it offers forth a full, rich array of sound on both the high and low ends of the musical range, making this perhaps the best pair of music-oriented speakers that you have ever owned. The pair are full tower speakers, with a 3-way design that offer room shattering bass in addition to ear-splitting highs that handle even the most difficult ends of demanding music formats like jazz, even at the high ends.

Home Theater 2U employs a unique trapezoid design for the “3D MATRIX” speakers comprised of thick MDF board, and cherry veneer with a dark red and mahogany finish that would not be out of place alongside your living room’s baby grand piano. The finish is as stylish as the sound, making the case for the 35 pound towers to be an important contribution to your home’s furnishings, a nice touch in these aesthetically important times.

While the “3D MATRIX” set is a music system at heart, the pair can easily be employed as main front channels in any home theater system. The only downfall in this setup relates to an unequal pairing of fronts and rears, as you are unlikely to use an identical set of “MATRIX” products for your rear channels as well. Home theater aficionados are perhaps better advised to consider one of Home Theater 2U’s cinema specific sets, such as the value-oriented “ROSE” or the flagship “NATURE.”

With its dedication to value, along with its excellence in sound, Home Theater 2U is a force to be reckoned with in both music and home theater speaker systems. The “3D MATRIX” is a phenomenal system that tastes (and sounds) that much sweeter when one considers that it can be purchased for under $500…a bargain!
