RCA RT2500

Pros: Affordable Home Theatre, Retains value, 700 watts

Cons: Difficult to install peripherals, clumsy and cumbersome speaker size

The Bottom Line: Early entrance to home theatres, but will still hold strong in the coming years with its powerful receivers and numerous speakers.

Review: The time had come for an upgrade. Although the solid 27" RCA color television had held up well and produced modest sound quality for an average viewer, it wasn't enough amid newer technology. The DVD era had arrived and my home theater system was ...

Pros: Great Sound, Great Looks, Great Price

Cons: The manual is a little lacking.

The Bottom Line: I see no reason to watch a movie on "regular TV" again. The home theater experience is a blast.

Review: This is my 1st Home Theater system. I shopped around, went to all the stores and just wasn't happy with systems under $300. I don't just run out and buy the 1st thing I find. I look around, do the research and then, and only then, make the purchase....

Pros: Excellent value and sound in one package.

Cons: Front and surround speakers might look a little big compared to other upscale systems.

The Bottom Line: You can't beat this 700w theatre in a box no matter where you look. Makes any other system in this category a waste of time and money.

Review: Thats right, a home theatre package in one box. I started looking for a home theatre system around the hollidays. In the paper, magazines, on the web, and in the stores. With all different kinds of models and sizes its hard to decide whats right for...

Pros: Crisp clear sound, price, many connections possible

Cons: comes with cheap thin wire

The Bottom Line: Looking for the best bang for your buck? RCA RT2500 won't let you down.

Review: $258 at samsclub.com

I'm very impressed with the theater system. The sound is crisp and clear. I didn't bother using the wire that came with the system though. I wired everything with 12 gauge just to make sure I got the best sound. I...

Pros: Very upgradeable, and the price can't be beat.

Cons: Needs upgrades, and the controls are confusing

Review: I think this a receiver that is way better than the speakers it comes with. I thought it had plenty of volume, but one day I decided to buy a separately powered RCA sub. With the new sub I was almost kicked out of my apartment! Speaker upgrades are ...

Pros: Big sound, clear sound, lots of bass, lots of features

Cons: Not a "audiophile name" that's it.

Review: Unfortunately, you can no longer find this new. Now, this is not for your audiophiles with elevated noses at anything not made with more consonants than you can pronounce. This was made for someone who knows the value of big clear sound and saving some ...

Pros: Has a very good head unit and good speakers

Cons: The Sub is weak

The Bottom Line: It is a very good system because almost all components are good if not great in the system.

Review: RCA's new home theatre system,the RCA RT2500 Home Theatre is a chance to even the score up with sony ...

Pros: Great Sound for the price

Cons: Sub-woofer lacking the bass punch

The Bottom Line: If you are looking a good intermediate system, then the RT2500 is an excellent choice for your money

Review: I have had this system for almost a year now and have found it to perform very well with a few exceptions. One being the lack of "PUNCH" from the subwoofer. Even at 200W it is lacking the bass power most of us are looking for. Throw in a larger set of...

Pros: Great sound and woofer

Cons: None

Review: I love this stereo system. I blast my rock music and the subwoofer if great. I like the nice sound that come out of the speakers. I also use this for video games and movies and it is ...

Pros: Receiver

Cons: Difficult to set up and adjust. Speakers are average at best.

Review: The receiver is rather difficult to set up. Even now 3 years later I am not sure about some of the features. For best results you really need to have it set up correctly. I found that the front speakers were not that great for playing music from Cd's. ...
