Aspire Digital's new receiverless home theater surround-sound

Aspire Digital will make its new receiverless home theater surround-sound speaker system available at this week’s International 2003 CES for a special show price of $199.98. The special pricing represents a 50% discount off the MSRP for the components when purchased separately. The system is a perfect step for consumers who do not already have a receiver connected to their television and want high-quality audio playback with a minimum financial commitment.

The show special system combines the AD-140W tower speaker set and the AD-225PSC powered 5.1 subwoofer from Aspire Digital’s new line of speakers being launched at CES. The AD-140W tower speaker set includes floor-standing front and rear tower speakers and a center speaker totaling 140 real watts (total 8 ohms 250Hz - 20kHz, 87dB). The AD-225PSC 5.1 subwoofer powers the entire speaker system and provides audio output directly from a DVD player.

Together, the AD-140W speaker set and the AD-225PSC powered 5.1 subwoofer provide audio quality that rivals systems costing much more. The system is DTS compatible when connected to a DVD player that includes DTS decoding, a common feature to most new DVD players. Remote control and speaker cables are included.
