Hi all,

- Radient Europa bookshelves $99 a pair shipped: http://www.radiient.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5/.f?sc=2&category=32

- Calypso 5 piece set with floorstanders $249 shipped: http://www.radiient.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.31/.f


Figured i'd post this for the more adventuresome amongst us, There are other models on sale but these had the best price imho. These speakers may look familiar to you, it is claimed that the rear-surrounds of the Radiient Helios and Elara lines are the same as the BestBuy Insignia bookshelves. Don't know how true that is but the Insignia's sure do look like their rear-surrounds.

 
There is some speculation that these speakers from BBuy are the same minus the top mounted tweeters. I got 2 pairs a few months ago when they were on sale for $35 a pair. They are excellent for an inexpensive surround sound system. I can not comment on the Radiants with the extra tweeter as I have not listened to them but the highs in the Insignias do not seem to be lacking to me.

You really can't compare the Europa fronts to the Insignia's really, since their biggest similarity is cabinet design.

Like i mentioned in the first post. It is likely that the rear-surrounds of the helios and elara product lines are the same as the BestBuy Insignia's. Not all of their 6.5" coaxial drivers are the same if you take a close look at them; the Europa's coaxial center tweeter are a different material and the woofer + crossover have different sound characteristics than the Insignia. It's pretty much a different 6.5" driver altogether.
