Onkyo 7.1 Speaker Systems - any good?

[fighthefutureofhd]

i got an onkyo 7.1 surround system for christmas and i don't regret it one bit. i haven't had a problem per se with them having to take more power to push them to the volume levels i may be looking for. i don't want it any higher. sure, some of the dialog is spotty in some movies, but 98% of the time my ears are literally hurting from the sound these speakers produce. headache inducing in fact. i can't turn them up very high without getting sick. i love it.
