No better deal than these
Pros
Price. Good bass. Very flat response.
Cons
Matching components (surround, center channel) can cost more than the speakers themselves.

I picked up my pair of R50s for $99 each from Fry's. When I saw the ad, I was amazed. When I listened to them, I knew I had to have a pair. I've only heard one pair of speakers I liked more, but those were $650 each. Nothing at this price even comes close to the sound quality.
I like bass, and these speakers don't disappoint. I bought a Velodyne CHT-10 sub and a matching Polk csi30 center channel on eBay. They all sound great together. I usually don't even turn on the sub since these speakers sound great by themselves and I don't want to disturb the neighbors.
One thing to be aware of is that when you buy good quality speakers like these, there might be a break-in period. For the first two weeks that I owned these speakers, the "s" sounds when people were speaking sounded horrible. After the break-in period, that went away and I couldn't be happier.
