LS3100 2.1-Channel Living Speaker System

Convenience and Style in a Great-Sounding Package

If space and budget considerations run a close second to sound quality when choosing a home theater, then this neat 2.1-channel package from Onkyo is worth a close look. Your days of thin sound will be over, with SRS processing technology creating an immersive 3D soundfield using just two speakers- perfect for movies, music, and games. But the real beauty of the system lies in its convenience. For example, the control center is preprogrammed for use with most TV remote controllers. It turns on automatically with your television and responds to volume commands from your TV remote. Two sculpted speakers- featuring a pair of 2" (5 cm) drivers each- can be mounted in a variety of ways on the wall, entertainment unit, or stand on their own. The system is also great for music, with Bluetooth 2.1 allowing you to stream from your smart phone, tablet, and laptop. Analog and digital connections are available to connect a PC or CD player. Wireless implementation extends to the powered subwoofer, which can be placed anywhere in the room- another handy feature in what is an exceptionally useful home theater system.

More Speaker Mounting Positions to Suit Your Entertainment Space

Our unique detachable stands allow you to position your speakers how you like them- upright, laid flat, on the wall, or on either side of your TV. If space under or around your TV is an issue, you can remove the stand and sit the speaker flush on the entertainment unit, or use them to angle and display the speakers attractively.
Active Wireless Subwoofer Can Be Placed Anywhere

To take advantage of the low-frequency sounds in your games, movies, and music, the LS3100 employs a powered subwoofer. This type of subwoofer draws an independent energy supply, leaving the accompanying control center free to focus its power through the stereo speakers. Thanks to its wireless design, there’s no need to run a cable back to the control center, meaning you can place it pretty much anywhere it looks and sounds the best.
Curved Speakers with Twin Full-Range Drivers

The LS3100 includes a pair of acoustic suspension speakers incorporating twin 2" (5 cm) cones in place of the usual single driver. Don’t let their compact size fool you- these robust little speakers really pack a punch. Whether you choose to hang them on a wall or set them beside your TV, be prepared for deep and detailed performance in small to medium-sized rooms. Experience the Sensation of 3D Surround Sound

The LS3100 comes equipped with SRS (Sound Retrieval System) Mode, which allows you to enjoy a more natural sound from stereo sources. The technology exploits the science of psychoacoustics- or how the ear pinpoints the locations of sounds in space- allowing the listener to perceive stereo sound as surround sound. Which makes for a more realistic and exciting entertainment experience. Dialog Mode for Clearer Voices

This handy sound mode clarifies dialog in the mix, so you no longer have to strain to follow speech in a movie or TV program. Voices are rendered more distinctly and intelligibly, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

The ultra-slim control unit employs digital amplification circuitry to convert power with very high levels of efficiency. This means less energy is wasted as heat. With no need for a bulky heat sink, the amplifier can be smaller and lighter, providing room-filling sound that belies its compact size. Use Your Own TV's Remote Control

The LS3100 is programmed to accept commands from the remote controllers of nine major TV brands.* The system powers up automatically when you turn on your TV, and you can adjust the volume using your usual television remote. After 20 minutes with no signal from the TV, the home theater will switch itself off, so you don’t waste power.

*Supported brands: Funai, LG, Panasonic, Phillips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Vizio. Control unit can also learn commands from other brands. Stream Music from Phone, Tablet and PC via Bluetooth


Whether you’re an iPhone or iPad user, an Android fan, or an owner of a personal computer with Bluetooth capability, streaming music to your new home theater system couldn’t be easier. Simply pair the devices, select the track or album of your choice, and hit play. The improved data transfer capabilities of Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR ensure clear and reliable sound reproduction for all kinds music.

Great product, glad that I purchased this to replace my 8 years old 5.1 speakers from Phillips. This 2.1 system blows away the old one for sure! It actually arrive 1 day earlier than expected.

The built quality of the 2 satellites and the subwoofer is good, it's sturdy and sleek. The controller unit looks a bit cheap though. i connected to my computer through optical output, and it works fabulously. It does awesome job to simulate surround sounds when I test AC3 sound. Music sound crisp and clear, the bass is strong and solid, it responses well with low frequency. Some people complain that the bass is too strong, but you can adjust it to suite your taste. The auto-shutdown mode is nice, there is a delay when it wakes up, but not a long delay, it doesn't bother me much. I am not an audiophile, but I play piano and keyboard for more than 10 years, so I am picky when it comes to music and sound, you can trust me on that. The bluetooth works well, I personally don't use it much, but it is nice to have.

I also use Breakaway Audio Enhancer with it, and it even make the speakers shine more :) I did get some pop and crack noises when using with DFX Audio Enhancer, but not so with Breakaway, so I suggest you use Breakaway if you want to enhance your experience :)

One thing to note, these are not magnetic shielded speakers, so if you are looking for one, don't bother. It doesn't matter much nowadays when LCD is everywhere, but just a caution. I think Bose Cinemate series has a shielded speakers, but it's over price right now. I personally prefer Bose, but this thing is as good as Bose, and cheaper!

12-26-14 update;
A reader commented that all you need to do to avoid the echo is turn off the TV speakers if your TV has that function. Duh.

i put off writing reviews about tech stuff sometimes. i thinks it is because i feel as if i should be writing a novel to do the review justice. this is not a novel, this will be short and sweet. first off this is a discontinued model, so not sure you can buy it anymore. here is what i think;

Likes;
1. my TV remote (and Tivo remote) makes the volume change on this system.
2. it is not an obnoxious sound bar. those are ugly, expensive and ridiculous.
3. it is well designed and looks good.
4. it sounds good
5. volume range is good
6. the bluetooth connection to other bluetooth devises works well (i used my iPhone and it sounded awesome).

Dislikes and other comments;
1. you have to get use to the sound not coming on for about 5 to 7 seconds after start up. it goes to sleep when there is no sound received, see next comment.
2. it shuts off automatically after no sound received for about 90 seconds or 2 minutes. so if you pause a show and come back in 5 minutes, the sounds takes 5 seconds to start but the show has started as soon as you hit play.
3. there can be an echo if you don't do the volume correctly/know how to do the volume. there is a delay with the system because of the digital sound or the optical inputs or the system or whatever. so if the TV speakers are loud enough to hear and the system is working there is a double sound track. it's way annoying. to avoid this you have to drive the TV sound all the way off, then use the dedicated remote for this speaker system to drive that sound only back up, then go back to the original remote. that normally works unless you drive the sound on the system down too low after having the TV at zero. when you drive the sound up again the TV speakers go up with the system sound and the problem is back. if you pay attention and remember how to operate the remote (within a range) you are fine. if someone else is not aware of the way it works, it gets screwed up every day. Update; turn off the TV speakers if it has that option.

despite the issues i still like these. i would prefer the same features without the echo and the delay in the wake-up. my guess is the next Gen will correct those issues, but at what price?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, but inconvenient if you switch input often!

These speakers have a lot going for them, especially now that they can be had for under $250. They sound beautiful, they look nice, and the subwoofer is wireless. I wanted to keep them so badly. Unfortunately, they have some limitations that made them unusable for my application. I need to connect via Bluetooth to a laptop and occasionally a phone, use digital input for a desktop computer, and use 3.5 from my display/TV for XBox sound. The Onkyo LS3100 has quirks that made this setup a pain to use. I ended up getting a Boston Acoustics Soundware XS instead, even though it didn't sound as good as the Onkyo. If you just have a TV that you leave set up and only occasionally need to switch to another input, this could be a fantastic product.

Pro:
-Sound was very crisp and clear. Listening to the "Batman Begins" soundtrack was amazing; I could hear all the percussion clearly and the sound was very dimensional. The BA Soundware XS was muddier and less defined. Classical music was nice as well, very clean. Soundware XS was warmer, but also less clear.
-Quality. Design was aesthetically pleasing and materials were nice, although the control box felt a bit plasticky in comparison to the rest. But the lights on the control box were wonderfully subtle, no glaring obnoxious lights like the Soundware XS. The speakers had great metal stands that allowed for 4 different configurations. The sub has cute piano finish feet and is wireless.
-Control subwoofer level on remote
-Auto-on when input is detected

Con:
-It's impossible to use the optical input when there is anything plugged into the 3.5 mm jack. There is no switch anywhere that lets you switch between them, and the manual admits this.
-There is an auto-standby function that cannot be disabled! This sounded good in theory, but in reality, this meant that Bluetooth would automatically disconnect after 5 minutes of silence no matter what. I would then have to reconnect by pressing the Bluetooth button on the remote. This became intolerable when connected to a laptop. If I wanted to watch a video after working in silence a while, I would have to remember to reconnect first because my computer would not switch over on the fly.

In the end, the lack of ability to switch inputs and the constant Bluetooth disconnects made me decide to return the product in spite of the great sound and look. The Soundware XS has an input switch on the remote and stays connected to Bluetooth until disconnected, and those two features alone were worth it in spite of the XS having an ugly receiver, poorer sound, no sub control on remote, no wireless sub, and obnoxiously bright lights.

The Onkyo LS3100 would probably be great if you leave it hooked up to a TV and only occasionally listen to one or two songs from Bluetooth, but if you need something that plays nice with all your devices, its limitations may prove to be highly annoying.
