Streem Customer Reviews
[updated: May 8, 2008]

We realize that to buy home theater speakers online can be a risky thing: you can't listen to them,
you can't touch them and you can't see them with your own eyes. Couple this fact with the vast number of companies
that want you to choose their speakers and it leaves many consumers scratching their
heads in confusion. So, if you choose Streem how do you know you are making the right choice?
Our customers reviews on our products are, in many cases, the deciding factor when a new customer chooses Streem for
their home audio theater. Our sincerest thanks go out to our customers who have decided to share their Streem
experience with the world and we hope that if you choose Streem you will
share your thoughts as well.
Following are excerpts of some of the many emails we have received from happy and, dare we say, elated
Streem customers:

"I've owned or built nearly 30 loudspeaker systems, and listened to several hundred over a period of more than 50 years.
To replace a set of exceptional near-field monitors, I ordered the FS-808B package and received it a week later in
perfect condition. They are exceptionally clear and revealing. Individual voices are distinct in choral groups.
Drumheads are clear in massed orchestra. Strings are distinct from their associated boxes (I can hear the "air"
between them as with live instruments). Violins don't sound alike or like cheap instruments from a mass-market music
store. Vivaldi is a pleasure to listen to. As are Boccherini, Mozart, jazz, pop, and other sources. Satellite radio
and TV are great.
The speakers are excellent in stereo or home theater. The sound of the original acoustic space seems
to be present. And the relative balance among instruments in concert is maintained at different volume levels ...
(something very disturbing to me about many other speakers ... performance changes at different volume levels as they load the enclosure).
Before I ordered these speakers, I auditioned Monitor 6s, Vienna Acoustics, Kef, B&W, and a few other high end systems.
The FS-808s sound very similar. I can't attribute any differences to more than the listening room.

"Bought SR-490 & the 808's two months ago with some concern because of the lack of hearing them prior to purchasing.
Got them and noted the excellent packing. Set them up and let them play for two days to allow for break in. Finally,
after two days, I put a CD in the tray and turned it up. WOW!! The Who never sounded so good even compared to my older B&W
speakers. At first I thought they were a little bright, but experience told me to let them burn in for a couple of weeks
before making any adjustments. I am glad I did, because they sound wonderful now. Next I put a Return of the Jedi movie
in and sat back to enjoy. I always had some problems getting proper balance in my rear channel but the bidirectional
speakers made listening to THX movies a whole new experience. I can't wait to replace my mid surround and center channel
speakers and I hope to even replace the sub woofer in time too with Streem speakers. I couldn't be happier. One note.
The speakers have a vinyl finish instead of a real wood veneer like the POLK and B&W speakers I am used to. When you buy a
speaker as large as the 808's it becomes a piece of furniture and having a good quality wood veneer would be a nice option at minimal cost.
The speakers look good however, and are not an eye sore in my theatre room."

"I've had my speakers for 5 months now. I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. I'm running a Harmon Kardon AVR 645
pushing 75 true RMS watts. These speakers handle it with NO problem. Movies and music both sound outstanding. I would recommend."

"I bought a pair of FS-808's. I ordered these and got them 2 days later. I could not buy a better pair of speakers
anywhere for twice the price. I have a Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K powering these speakers and i can crank it up all the
way and the sound is absolutely cristal clear. I recommend these to anyone looking for a top quality set of speakers."

"I picked up the speakers on Friday and installed them this afternoon, (the wall mounting brackets are a nice touch on your part, I may add).
Your packaging was "bullet proof", as there was such a major crushed corner on the outer & inner box, that I was almost not going to accept
delivery @ the post office. I had them make a note of it, for insurance purposes, then took them home and I am glad I did.
The styrofoam inserts, took the brunt of the punishment and the speakers themselves, did not show even so much as a scuff, well done.
As for sound they are all that I had anticipated! The problem with rear's is that they are for the most part all forward firing and are
ineffective unless you are 3 - 4 feet in front of them, (very few folks have the floor space for this arrangement), but these units resolve
the problem as I suspected they would. For true audiophile sound I am a 2-channel guy, (my Magnepan's are in my sound room and not my video room),
so I am not unfamiliar with premium high quality sound, but I do enjoy a good movie in 5.1, DTX, etc. The design, components and quality
of construction of these speakers is exceptional for the low price tag and as far as "surround sound" is concerned, I will highly recommend them to anyone!"

"I have the CV525 as a centre channel and a pair or SR 290's as rear surround speakers.
I am very happy with the way they blend in with my B&W front speakers and Velodyne subwoofer.
They provide excellent value for the money and I have heard speakers retailing for double and
triple the cost that do not come close to their performance."

"To all interested in purchasing extremely good speakers for a good price, Streem is a place to look.
I'm an active music listener for the last 35 years and these (FS-808 towers) speakers are by far the best I ever owned,
they look awesome and sound even better. They have deep bass (no need for sub) and extremely clear highs.
I tested them on three different genre cd's:Klaus Schulze's "Mirage" (electronic progressive), ZZ Top's "Tres hombres" (hard blues rock)
and Carmen's "Fandangos in space" (flamenco rock) and on all three speakers passed with flying colors.
I have these speakers for almost six months now and I am more pleased with every passing day.
Even my old, non-remastered cd'c sound awesome so I am able to rediscover my collection all over again.
I'm proud to be the part of Streem family and I will certainly do bussines with them again. Highly recommended."

"Read other reviews before purchasing them and the reviews were good so i decided to try them and i am
glad i did. For the price and the sound you get from them got nothing bad to say. So if someone is
looking for a good surround sound speaker set up but a reasonable price this is it."

"I had no idea that you guys existed until i went on ebay looking for some surround sound speakers.
I found these and was in aww after i had listened to them the first time. They are excellent speakers
and if i would have heard of your company i would have probably bought more merchandise. You should
advertise much more and get out there because you make quality merch and a nice price. Thank you!! Excellent product!!!"

Very nice looking. They were packed better then any gear I have bought on line. Thank you for your true sound and quality. I am a true believer."

"These speakers are amazing! I recently purchased the Streem HT-808 Surround Speaker Package from Station Street, consisting of the FS-808 Front Towers, the CV-525 Center and the SR-290 Rear Surrounds. I have never reviewed any product I've purchased before, but these speakers exceeded my expectations by such a large margin, I thought I'd write.
In the last few months I auditioned (in 2 showrooms) 5 different surround speaker packages and only 1 package sounded better than the Streem's with the biggest difference being the price - $3200.00 before taxes - more than 6 times the amount I paid for this Streem package! The other 4 packages ranged from $640.00 to $2400.00 and none of them was in the same realm sonically or musically as the Streem's. Period!!
The 808's bass response is deep without being muddy or overpowering. The midrange is ultra-clear and crisp without being fatiguing and the treble is very very clean without a hint of sibilance! The 525 center, again, is ultra-clear and crisp and produces midrange effortlessly. The 290's round out the system very nicely. The 808's in Stereo mode (no sub) sound impressive on their own, but in Pro Logic IIx Music mode (with the center, rears and sub on) the effect on cd, dvd (concerts) and satellite tv music is nothing short of astonishing! They sound equally impressive with dvd movies and satellite tv. The key to these speakers, I feel, are the tweeters - cymbals and snares sound like cymbals and snares, crowd noise on sports and live music broadcasts is really defined and genuine and that's not to take anything away from the woofers and midranges in this system because they hold their own very capably. I cannot find fault with any element of the sound any of these speakers produce. Bi-amp the 808's if possible.
The only, slightly negative thing I can say about my entire purchase of this speaker package are the included cables for the 808's and the 525 - do not use these cables - buy decent cables from the money you saved purchasing these speakers (I think Station Street sells cables too), you won't be disappointed.
There are better sounding speaker packages, but you'll have to open the vault up wide to get something comparable to this Streem package.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and it is my pleasure to provide you with this honest review of you HT-808 speaker package."

"I have owned the Streem 500 Speakers for 5 months now. One word really says it all. WOW!!!! These are the best sounding speakers
I have ever heard. My wife and I listen to music a lot more now because we love the live sounding music that these speakers produce.
I would recommend these speakers to everyone. The 8 inch woofer is large enough to fill my living room. Keep up the good work.
Class AAA all the way. Speakers arrived very well packaged and the fit and finish are top quality. Pure ART"

"If you looking for the best bang for your buck in a surround speaker system then look no further than the Streem HT-500 series.
I luckily came across this speaker company on eBay, read some reviews, called their customer service with questions and then
decided to place my order and have not regretted it one bit. These speskers sound as good as they look. I've owned a lot of high
end speakers in my younger days and these speakers can go toe to toe with any of the big names that cost 2 to 3 times as much.
They are well constructed and with the beautiful cherry wood and black finish, the wife won't even mind these in her living room.
When listening to music they're perfect but if you're a movie buff, you may want to consider adding their sub for that extra thump.
Not a must but something to consider. Other than that, you won't go wrong with the Streem HT-500's. P.S. Amazingly well packaged
when they are shipped to you."

"Hi friends, I bought few months ago a speaker system HT-808 and I'm very happy with the choice what I made it,
because the speakers sounds very good, they also look very good and they handle well every style of music.
I powered them with an amplifier Yamaha RX-1500V and a subwoofer Klipsch. They sounds incredible on movies and fantastic
on concerts. I think they are great for the money which you pay for them."
Vivian V. from Gatineau, QC | HT-808's

"The speakers look really good and are complement to any room. The sound is very good and makes you feel as if
you are in the middle of action of the movie. The price is very fair."

"I bought your BP150 Center Channel Speaker on EBay sight & sound unseen & unheard. It replaces a Cambridge Soundworks
CenterStage speaker which caught fire from a candle. I am not sorry I chose Streem and this speaker. It does exactly
what it is supposed to do and it sounds wonderful. The build is solid and the finish - I don't know how to describe it
well enough to do it justice. Seamless, literally is the piano gloss black finish. I could not find a seam anywhere - including the back.
Well done Streem!"

"I bought the Streem HT-808 5-piece surround sound combo. I have been using these speakers for 1 year now and
am very happy with my purchase. The speakers arrived via UPS from the Canadian distributor one week after I
ordered them. They were extremely well packed, and my first impression was that they looked fantastic.
I connected them to a Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver with 10-gauge wire and banana plugs, and then used the
receiver's built-in autoconfigure tool to set the speaker levels. This actually produced a very unsatisfactory
result. The problem was that the front tower speakers produced so much bass response that the receiver decided
it was best to turn off the subwoofer. After some manual fiddling with the receiver settings (needed to set the
front speakers to 'small' to get the sub to work), I finally got some impressive bass sound.
The front speakers each have 4 banana sockets and support bi-amping. So I removed the bridge and used the two unused side channels
from my 7.1 receiver to provide additional power to the front channels. Both the Streem speakers and the VXS-1015TX
included instructions for doing this. For those not familiar with bi-amping, it essentially doubles the power being
fed into the two large front speakers from the receiver. The sound I am now getting from the HT-808 system is phenomenal.
Are these the best speakers on the market? No. You can do better if you are prepared to spend an arm and a leg.
But for the price the HT-808's represent fantastic value."

"I'm very happy with my purchase. Like most people, I was a little bit sketchy with buying speakers online without
having listened to them first, but after receiving them, I can recommend them without hesitation to those considering
purchasing these speakers. Clean, clear sound without any distortion is all one can ask for from speakers, and these
deliver in spades. My highest recommendation would be to state that I would purchase these speakers again without hesitation."
Alan S. from Medicine Hat, AB | CV-525 & FS-808's

"Excellent speakers, I am very impressed with the company in all aspects. I will definitely purchase more speakers
in the future and have recommended to several people."

"I just upgraded to Harman Kardon AVR..old rear speakers were useless! Read reviews and specs on the bipoles.

"Fit and finish, Incredible clarity and realism. True uncolored reproduction. Out of all the components I ordered on line,
the Streeem speakers were packed the best.
I have been in and around all facets of the music industry since I was 16 years of age. I just turned 60. Since I retired in 1999,
I started collecting alot of older HIFI speakers and Tube amps. Sound Dynamics speakers; Infinity RS-6; Older Bose; ARs ect.
I have a system in every room in the house. Except the two bath rooms. I wanted the new home theater room to have the HT-500 set.
Best choice at any price."

"Truly, words cannot describe the value you are getting for the money, with these speakers. It is very unusual to
get more for less in today's day and age. Definitely Streem audio has pulled it off. The old adage it's to good to be true,
does not apply here, because it is true the speakers are fantastic and more. Don't even think twice if you are doubtful.
Buy them, and you won't be disappointed."

"I bought the Streem HT-500 speakers 3 months ago. I just finished my home theater room. I have a back ground in music and
recording for 40 years. To any one with a doubt. These speakers are the best. Don't waste money on any others.
Fit and finish and the way they are shipped, compare to speaker costing three times as much. Lenny says"

"I've had my eye on the HT808 system for about one year and finally pulled the trigger during Christmas.
My wife knew I needed some new speakers so she bought me a pair of Paradigm Phantoms and I wasn't really
impressed. They were just too small for my room. So, we exchanged them and got the entire 808 system with
the SR490 rears,, all at about the same cost of the two Paradigms. Best yet, the sound is great and really
fills the room. I'm very impressed. 2 Channel music sounds great and the 5 speaker home theatre is excellent
while watching movies. It's understandable to be a bit hesitant buying speakers without hearing them, but I'm glad
I "took the chance". Put me on your list of happy customers who now has an impressive sound system for about $800.
You can't really go wrong. Thanks"

"I ordered friday morning and was installing my SR-490's, Monday evening. I needed something of
quality at a reasonable price to dress up my audio system since I just bought a Plasma TV.
My amplifier and speakers are quite ordinary from a deal at Bestbuy. I started "Superman returns"
and skipped to the scene were he saves the plane. The speakers are mind boggling. Save your money
and go for these, you won't regret it."

"I recently purchased a pair of RW 500 Speakers from Station Street. I
accidentally stumbled across them while surfing the internet, for
speakers. I liked what I read as far as specs and positive reviews. In
fact I couldn’t find a negative review on any Streem speakers. My biggest
dilemma was not if I was going to purchase Streem, but what model. I only
wanted a pair of speakers, not the complete surround package, at this
point. There weren’t a whole lot of reviews on the RW 500 compared to the
HT 808 speakers. I did like the design of the RW 500 speakers, but thought
maybe they might have lacked base, where the HT 808 speakers may have had
a little more base than I preferred, although I never heard them. This was
based on a few reviews only.
After talking with the people at Streem they
assured me the RW 500’s didn’t lack base period. It just wasn’t as
prevalent as the HT 808’s.
I took a chance and am glad I did. I love these
speakers. They come doubled boxed and shipping is included. It made it
from ST Catherine’s to my door in Calgary in five days. I have them hooked
up to a Kenwood KR 9600 Receiver from the late 70’s. This produces a clean
160 watts per channel. I was really impressed with these speakers from the
get go. The picture from Stream’s home page does them no justice. The dark
cherry wood is esthetically pleasing, and they truly are a real eye
catcher. The sound these speakers give off are incredible. You hear
everything better, and it really highlights the instruments. These
speakers by the way do not lack base at all when called for. I will
recommend an equalizer to enhance the sound of any speakers, and bring out
the true clarity and sound.
There are better speakers out there, but not
anywhere near this price, usually two to three times more. I will continue
to buy Streem products after my experience. Thank you Streem."

"I purchased the CV-525 Centre Channel Speaker to replace a Polk Audio
centre speaker. I couldn't be happier. Great sound. So good - I now want

My sub-woofer is a Polk and is OK. Great product - thanks."

"Hey guy's I just wanted to let you know that I am running a NAD
2700 THX power amp listed at 150 watts aside at 8 ohms RMS. This amp is
capable of putting out 200 watts of dynamic power and up to 400 watts peak
in short bursts all in 8 ohms. I am also running an Adcom GTP-500II
tuner/preamp with a NAD C542 cd player. You should hear the sound from
these speakers with this high end equipment, it will blow your mind. I
have left a review already but I wanted to let you know. I have not had a
chance to turn this roof/wall blasting power amp up to see how these
speakers would sound loud. But again I am impressed with the sound. I will
not abuse these speakers. I bought the HT-500 surround set but running the
RW-500's in the front with this amp, WOW. Thanks again guy's. Jason K,

"Awesome speakers. I was a little leery about buying speakers online
without the benefit of hearing them. The reviews that I was reading as
well as the price gave me a better feeling though and I am not
disappointed at all. The HT-33's are all that was promised. Well packaged,
quick shipment and excellent sound. I would recommend STREEM speakers in a
heartbeat. Thanks for a great product"

"I bought the Streem HT-808 5-piece surround sound combo, and added the
Streem SW-10 powered subwoofer. I have been using these speakers for 3
months now and am very happy with my purchase. The speakers arrived via
UPS from the Canadian distributor the day after I ordered them. They were
extremely well packed, and my first impression was that they looked
fantastic.
I connected them to a Pioneer VSX-1015TX receiver with 10-gauge
wire and banana plugs, and then used the receiver’s built-in autoconfigure
tool to set the speaker levels. This actually produced a very
unsatisfactory result. The problem was that the front tower speakers
produced so much bass response that the receiver decided it was best to
turn off the subwoofer. It actually took some time to figure out why I
wasn’t getting any sound from the sub. After some manual fiddling with the
receiver settings (needed to set the front speakers to ‘small’ to get the

The front speakers each have 4 banana sockets and support bi-amping. So I removed
the bridge and used the two unused side channels from my 7.1 receiver to
provide additional power to the front channels. Both the Streem speakers
and the VXS-1015TX included instructions for doing this. For those not
familiar with bi-amping, it essentially doubles the power being fed into
the two large front speakers from the receiver. The sound I am now getting
from the HT-808 system is phenomenal. To put it into perspective, cranking
up the Black Eyed Peas rattles the dishes in my kitchen cupboards in the
next room, and vibrates the aluminum siding on the outside of my house.
The sound is not just loud though, it is crisp and clear.
I have read a few HT-808 reviews that say you do not really need to buy a subwoofer for
this system, but I have to disagree. The HT-808 and SW-10 combination
seems perfect. Turning off the sub does significantly decrease the output
of the system. I am admittedly a bass freak though, and believe that one
should be able to feel a home theatre, not just hear it. Are these the
best speakers on the market? No. You can do better if you are prepared to
spend an arm and a leg. But for the price the HT-808 plus SW-10 represent
fantastic value."

"These speakers are everything I expected and more. The price was very good
and the packaging was just superb. The fastest shipping I have ever seen.
The sound is second to none. I have listened to 1500 dollar speakers that
do not sound as good as these. I'm totally happy with my purchase and have
recommended them to many of my friends. I was a little scared at first but
now that I have them I have become attched to them. I highly recommend
them to anyone thinking about purchasing these. The easiest descision you
will ever make."

"I have 2 home theatre setups, both with identical receivers and video

One has an expensive Mission Centre Channel Speaker (purchased first) and

that unit."

"I just purchased a pair of SR-490s for my home theater and I'm very
satisfied. I have about $5k total into my home theater and I was looking
to upgrade my rather puny satellite rear channels to larger dipole
surrounds for an affordable amount. I was somewhat apprehensive to
purchase Streem speakers at first, having never heard about their
reputation but, after a little research I felt it was a safe buy. After
listening to the 490's for 3 weeks now I must say I'm pleasantly
surprised. They do a top notch job of weaving the rear surround channels
into an enveloping field that makes movies that much more enjoyable. The
finish on the cabinets is a pinch below what I'd expect from a Big Retail
chain brand...JBL/Klipsch/Bose,etc. but nothing that should prevent anyone
from auditioning these gems for themselves. Frankly, for a Pair of
speakers at this price point, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about
Streem. If you really MUST have a Mahoghany/walnut/oak veneer, go buy
Thiel of PSB's and pay the $1100 for it. Everyone else, you owe it to
yourself to give Streem a chance."

"I had just bought a 50" HDTV and was looking to up grade my Home theater.
While surffing the internet I came across the HT-500 Home theater listing
and went to your web site. After reading all the specs and the reviews I
just didn't believe that the speakers could be that good for that low a
price.I decided to get a pair of the SR-490 bipole speakers( I have a 6.1
system and wanted a back speaker,the SR-490 was just what I was looking
for) this way I could see how well the speakers where made and sounded. I
set the SR-490's up in place of my old surround speakers and with in two
days I could tell these are excellent sounding and very well made, with in
a day or two I went and bought the HT-500 Home Theater set. I have been
using them for a few months now and have been nothing but impressed with
both the sound and craftmanship of these speakers.This is the first review
I have ever returned,and it was my pleasure to do so. Thank you Streem and
the best of luck to you, when I need other speakers I'll be looking for
you."

"I never considered myself any type of audiosnob at all. I was using the
old speakers I had got in college for my surround system and thought it
was ok. Turns out they were just loud. The crisp, clear sounds I am
getting from my new Streem System is unbelievable. I can't believe I made
do with that old system for so long now. I did comparison shopping
beforehand, and the price and quality of Streem blew the competitors out
of the water. I ordered them on a Monday and they arrived that Wed! The
shipping boxes themselves were impressive...double boxed! Hookup was a
snap and the quality of the sound is amazing. I am certainly very pleased
with my purchase, but the only problem is I have become an audio snob and
find it hard to watch movies at my friend's place now...ha ha"

price. I am totaly satisfied with them."

paid for this set, I am very impressed with the sound from these speakers.
A great bang for your buck, you should pay alot more for the sound of

"I recently purchased a pair of FS-808 speakers, to replace a much older
pair. The sound from the speakers is very good, and they seem to be very
well-constructed. I don't believe it's necessary to have a sub-woofer with
these speakers, because the bass seemed great just as they are. Customer
service is also excellent, and the speakers arrived quickly, and very
well-packed. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase, and would
recommend these speakers to anyone."

"I recently purchased the bp150 center speaker from streem.
It seems I made a very good decision.
The speaker was doubled boxed. Inside of the inner box, the speaker was
wrapped in a bag and a foam piece is on each corner.The speaker has a very
clean and professional look to it, I especially like the high gloss
finish, it reflects like a black mirror.After hooking it up I was blown
away by the sound coming from the speaker.I have seen many speakers at
local dealers but for the price of the Streem you can't get anything that
compares in quality or appearance. I have no problem recommending streem
speakers for there quality and customer service.I would go as far as
calling them xstreem. Great job team Streem!"

"I could not rationalize spending thousands of dollars on name brand
speakers to complete my home theater system; therefore, I did some
research to find a good set of quality home theater speakers without
blowing the budget. I believe I have found them, I purchased the HT-808
5-Piece Surround Sound Speaker Combo a couple of months ago and have been
nothing but pleased with the craftsmanship and sound quality. I was also
pleased with the customer service, the staff was able to answer my
questions about the product and the speakers arrived in less than a week.
I have the speakers hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR602 receiver
and I think the system sounds great! I am happy that I did purchase these
speakers and don't think there are better speakers out there for the
price. I would definitely recommend these speakers for someone looking to
purchase a good, high quality set of home theater speakers without
breaking your budget."

I would recommend both the company and product very highly."

"I purchased the HT-33 system ten days ago. So far, so... excellent.
Now, i purchased these system after a few weeks of Internet searches and
reading reviews. Basically my final choice was between the Streem HT-33
system and the Fluance SX-HTB. They are very similar in specs and
price. My decision to go with the Streem system was based on the fact that
the Streem dealer I purchased form offered a 30 day money back guarantee.
It seems I made a very good decision. These babies look awesome... Even my
wife likes them :) And they sound awesome as well. I actually picked the
up from the dealer, but they are very well packaged and I don't think
there would be problems if ordered online and shipped via UPS. I am using
a Pioneer VSX-D608 receiver to power them. What else can I say: I don't
think you will find better speakers in this price range. In spite of some
reviewers complaining about the lack of bass, I think the speakers provide
more than enough bass, both for my room and my neighbours'."

"I am currently building a home theater in the basement and wanted matching
speakers all around. An upgrade was needed. I did a lot of searching on
the internet looking for great speakers at a low price. Streems prices and
free shipping played a large factor in my decision.
I bit the bullet and ordered these on a weekend, they were shipped on
monday (shipping is included in the price!), and on thursday UPS was at my
door with ALL five boxes. That is what I call fast.
Yes, I was a little worried when I placed my orders.
I had never heard of Streem speakers before my research and I did not know
the reliability of this company. Let me tell you that you do not need to
worry. The speakers are as the site says and customer service is top
notch.
These speakers are hooked up temporarily in my living room. I am using an
Onkyo TX-DS777 receiver and a JBL sub. The Streem speakers sound awsome
and balanced. The spacial field is very nice and at times almost too real.
Base was a little too much but a little tweek on the EQ and LFE fixed
that. I was using JBL-HLS610's and these blow them out of the water.
All speakers are doubled boxed. Inside of the inner box, each speaker is
wrapped in a bag and a foam piece is on each corner. They also include
speaker wire (However, I suggest that you use a higher guage). The
speakers have gold banana plugs, gold floor spikes, 5 year warrenty, and
the list goes on and on.
When I opened the Bipole speakers, I had one speaker grill that had an
error. I have sent it back (need an RMA) and streem is replacing it and
reimbursing me the shipping cost.
The speakers have a very clean and professional look to them. They are
built very well and above all they sound fantastic.
When you upgrade, do not overlook this company or their products."

high-end speakers. They sound cleaner and less tinny then my old Pioneer

"The HT-808 Home Audio Theater Speakers are an excellent value for

"I was blown away by the sound coming from my 808's, I listen to
techno music which has a tendency to be very hard on speakers due to the
constant hammering of a very heavy bass line, I have a very nice Denon pre
Amp (old school style) with a heavy duty Polk Audio Subwoofer and there is
no discernable difference with or without the Sub at mid to high volume,
these speakers don't need it, if these speakers are able to handle the
music "I" listen to then they will handle "anything" the average or even
above average listener will give them. (And I would assume your customers
are "above average")
Instead of "Streem" they should be called "Extreem".
And all 4 speakers for $800.00 and some change "Hello" Please do yourself
a favor and quit looking for better speakers and if your looking for
better speakers at a better price then knock yourself out. You deserve to
waste your time."

"After receiving my HT-808 5 piece speaker set, I immediately was
impressed by the care in packaging. Everything arrived flawless, and when
I opened them I was even more excited. The workmanship of each speaker was
excellent, and after setting them I was truly blown away. They have the
dynamic, rich, room filling sound of systems costing 10X as much. The lows
were deep and strong, but not boomy, and the highs were crystal, through a
whole range of volume.
The system really sizzled when watching movies, I have never experienced
such realism in a home theater set up, and actually got chills like I
remember getting only in a movie theater setting. I would not hesitate in
purchasing again, and highly recommend them to anyone!"

"I recently purchased my Streem speakers and I can only say good
things about them. First from the initial dealing with Streem Speakers
company to the purchase everything has been a pleasure. When it comes to
the speakers I was just amazed. The clear crisp sound that they give off
is well worth the money. To be honest these speakers could sell for much
more. Dealing with a company that is relatively unknown is a scary thing
but I would truly recommend these speakers and company. I am going to
purchase some more speakers to finish my system and I know they will be
Streem speakers.
Good luck in the future Streem..."

"I have been a musician for about 27 years and I have a sensitive
ear for good sounding music. The Streem speakers have been a pleasant
surprise for being good and affordable speakers. Now I have been watching
more concert DVDs than ever. The small subs are surprisingly deep and loud
enough that occasionally I do not need to turn the separate subwoofer on.
The warranty provided is a great thing for a young company to give the
customers a sense of confidence.
I will gladly recommend the products."

"I recently purchased an array of STREEM speakers to compliment my
new Harman Kardon AVR630 receiver. In order to utilize the 7.1 feature I
ordered
Model: HT-808 5-Piece Surround Sound Speaker Combo
Model: SR-290 Rear Surround Speakers
The shipping and handling was not too bad. I received the speakers within
5 days (excludes weekend).
The installation was fairly simple and upon careful inspection, the
craftsmanship rivals those of high caliber audiophile systems. Nice --
tight design, and non of the paper thin crap you get in Asia.
A few mp3s and dvds later, I began to appreciate the investment. Thanks

"I purchased the HT-200 5-Piece Piano Gloss Surround Sound Speaker
Combo recently. Let me begin by saying that these speakers look gorgeous
right out of the box. In fact, I was so impressed with the look of the
speakers, I ended up renovated my entire den in order to showcase their
beauty.
When people walk into my den, it is rare that any miss seeing the
speakers. They standout and compliment the room perfectly. But for those
person less perceptive, they too perk up when I turn on my receiver.
These speakers sound AWESOME!!!
I threw in a CD mp3 mix that had a bit of everything - some dance, techno,
classical, jazz, rock n' roll, new age and instrumental all mixed
together. I was blown away at how well the speakers accomodated the
various genres!! So I started listening to CDs I haven't listened to in
15 years. You know something sounds great when - without you realizing
it - your 40 year old legs start dancing again and your playing air
guitar. The vocals from the centre speaker is crystal clear. The highs
and mid-range sound is clean and smooth. It feels like a wide open
soundstage coming right out of my walls. Yet the sound emitted is warm
and soft when the occasion calls. The speakers are far superior to the
Polks I have (that are now in the basement) and at least as good as or
better than my brother-in-law's Axioms."

"I was looking for a quality full 7.1 surround sound speaker set. I
looked at the Klispch, Infinity etc..but they were way overpriced. Then I
found the Streem speakers..the price fit my budget much better so I went
ahead and made the purchase. I will say, the order and delivery went
perfectly!
And the sound, well, I am so happy that I didn't buy the others mentioned.
These are twice the build quality and the sound is supperb..Our HT room is
40' long by 18' wide. these things are nothing short of awesome! If your
looking to save money, but not sacrifice on quality, I urge you to try out
Streem. You will NOT be dissapointed!"

"I ordered the HT-808 speaker system with some hesitation since I
couldn't hear them prior to buying. I'm also "old school" and felt that
the kind of bass response I like can only come from large woofers. A
subwoofer was going to be a must, or so I thought. The speakers arrived
very well packaged(double boxed) and impressed me with their build
quality. I thought they sounded good right out of the box but with break
in they keep sounding better and better over all frequencies. The bass
response actually rivals the monster speakers I've had in the past. A
subwoofer really isn't required at all. Just the same I see that Streem
has one now and I certainly have no reservations about buying another
product from this company."

"I was very reluctant to buy speakers over the internet. There are
a lot of quality speakers on the market today. It is just a matter in the
end "How much you want to spend?". I bought the 5 piece set of the 808's
plus the BP-100's for a 15x20 media room. I use a Yamaha RXV 2500 and a
12" Velodyne for a sub woofer. So for less than $2k I have a room that
sounds like a $4k-$5k test room when I went to a custom home theater
store. The quality of the speakers was top notch from a manufacturing
perspective. There were no flaws, the wood is all properly constucted and
the gold terminals were solid. The speakers came double boxed and there
were no issues with anything! So if you want to spend 2x the cash and buy
a set at a local store knock yourself out. Otherwise, this is a great set
of speakers at a bargin price (most likely due to the direct sell over the
internet). Thanks Streem!"

"Let me start by saying that I was extreamly surprised by the sound
from the CV-525 Center Channel Speaker, that I thought I'd try the SW-10
Low-Frequency Powered Subwoofer. With these giving the front sound in my
home thearter I decided to add a pair of SR-290 Surround speakers & I was
not disappointed.
For the price, including delivery I couldn't have purchased anything local
that could match the quality & sound I have managed to get from the Streem
speakers.
I will be adding a Center Rear in the near future to complete my Home
thearter."

great price, and even better service!
Excellent speakers, along with excellent service... I can't say
much more.
It is amazing that I purchased the HT808 theater system along with the
sub-woofer and a Pioneer vsx1014 receiver for less than $1300.00

with DVD and HDTV.Sound is more than wife and dog can handle in an 16' x

"The HT 808 surround system from Streem has been nothing less than
what I expected. I did research on this speaker system and talk to the
shipping people in Canada. Very courteous and polite. My amplifier is a
6.1 Yamaha pushing 100 watts per channel Rms At .06 thd and this system
rocks the house at all ranges. Highly recommend these speakers for the
price."

"We had listened to alot of home theater systems including bose,
polk, jbl, klipsch etc. and for the money streem sounded better and as
good as some systems 3 times the money. I have no problem recommending
streem speakers for there quality and customer service."

"I recently purchased HT-33 speakers set, and so far I can tell you
this, GREAT SOUND, great look, awesome price.
You can't find any better product in this price range, and I would say
lots of speakers that cost much more, don't even getting close to quality
of sound that these speakers have."

"The speakers came in a well packaged box. Upon installation on my
system, they perform very well, and have really enhanced the quality of
sound.
The speakers and stands were shipped very promptly, and I had them up and
running in a week from ordering.
Nice quality finish and looks, and highly recommended. Give them a try."

"I bought the 808 package, 5.0 speakers. No sub woofer. The main
speakers are just awesome, the center is very good as are the rear
speakers. The rears are small but handle the power through them just fine.
No distortion through any of them. I do only have 100 watts per channel. I
bought a sub woofer after three months. This did add to the over all
sound. Everybody that has heard this speaker package loves them. I love
them. I would buy them again."

"WOW! Thats the only way to sum it up for me...is WOW! I'm having a
hard time believing I paid under $1000 Canadian for the HT-808 speaker
system. The sound is incredible, paired with a Yamaha RX-V2500. I set the
system up last night, and am thoroughly impressed. Why anyone would want
to pay thousands of dollars to have a popular brand nameplate on the front
of their speakers is beyond me.
The customer service is incredible, I ordered one day, and got them the
next. Excellent packaging as well!
For anyone looking to start a home theater, or to upgrade those JBL's you
still have from the mid 80's, this is the set to go with, without a doubt!
With a full 5 year parts and labor warranty, you can't go wrong.
Excellent service!"

"After the death of our 32" Sony television, I decided that the
time had come to upgrade to a full home theater. AT the same time, I did
not want to invest a huge amount into something only used a few hours a
week. Therefore, my goal was good performance at a decent price. This
became my mantra.
I played with some home-theater-in-a-box products, but was usually
disappointed with either the quality of the included speakers or the
awkward user interfaces. I ended up deciding to build a system from
components.
I salvaged much of what I needed from my old stereo system. This included
a nice subwoofer and some similar towers for the fronts. However, what to
do about the center channel?
I searched and prodded, but it seemed that everyone had a different
opinion. Many recommendations were for products that exceeded $400, which
was more than I paid for the receiver. Finally, I ran across a review of
the Streem CV-525 on Epinions. "Really,” I asked myself, "Could it be
that good for only that much?" The temptation proved too strong, and
shortly I had the CV-525 on its way to my house.
It has proven itself a reliable performer. It has strongly projected
vocals and effects for everything from "Star Wars" to "Gone with the
Wind", NFL games and the Rose Parade. All are clear and clean and have a
wonderful feeling of presence in the center channel. I am very happy with
my choice."

"I received the speakers in Dec.04 I was impressed with the
appearence of course, The is look very upscale. They are just as the add
states,...deep bass and liquid clear highs. Thank you very much. I think
you are on way to being a house hold name in many countries. The speakers
are very dramatic on movies. And yes, they do humble many a tower speaker!
They are very detailed on music. The longer I have them the more I enjoy
them."

"I bought a CV-525 recently as a completion to my 6.1 system, and it sounds
great. This is my first attempt at a real stereo system (previous
"system" was a bookshelf mini with two speakers) and I did a lot of
research before buying my components. There wasn't a lot of independent
reference material and reviews for the CV-525 but the available material
endorsed the product. The 5-year warranty showed confidence in quality so
I took a chance.
I don't have anything to compare the CV-525 to, but I am quite impressed
and very happy with my purchase. The speaker fits in well with my other
speakers with regards to color, size (perhaps a bit large), build quality,
and audio quality.
I would certainly buy Streem speakers again and would definitely recommend
the CV-525 to anyone who asks for my advice. I could probably use a set
of 3-way floor-standing units and I've been eyeing the FS-808's!"

"I recently purchased the HT 33 system for my basement home
theater. I was concerned that the speakers would not deliver a powerful
sound, but this was simply not the case. Not only is the sound powerful,
but it is also very clean, even at the highest volumes of my 150 watt
receiver.
I used this system to replace an older system. I was going to use the old
sub from my other system, but it went out a day before the Streem set
arrived. So, I used the system without a sub and was pleasantly surprised
at the lows. Adequate for most users I'd say. I did however purchase a new
sub to shake the walls.
All in all I am very pleased with the system. All the reviews on the
Streem site are the real deal. This is an excellent deal."

"First I would like to say that the people at Streem are some of
the nices professionals you would want to deal with. I was a little uneasy
buying speakers off the internet.With the product information provided I
was put at easy. There was never at time that the personnel did not return
a call or e-mail in a responsive manner. OK, what about the speakers???
They are GREAT!!! I have done a lot of listening and they do compare with
the best of them. Do not think twice, these are very good speakers, and at
these prices you cannot do better."

"I would like to say that I really like my Streem Product.I have a
Bose center channel that I replaced with your Streem center channel.I have
not unhooked it to hook the Bose back up since I have received your
product.I have been a big speaker enthusiast since my early teens.I am
waiting for a friend of mine to come over to my house to listen to this
cener channel and then I am going to talk him into buying his house
speakers from Streem."
