Three is the magic number for Onkyo.

The company just announced three new home-theater-in-a-box systems—all at affordable prices.

Onkyo’s HT-S5100 ($579) is the most expensive of the lot, with 7.1-channel surround sound and three 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs and one output. Other highlights include 130 watts per channel, a 290-watt subwoofer, an iPod dock, and Audyssey 2EQ room correction technology.

The HT-S4100 ($479) and the HT-S3100 ($379) provide 5.1-channel sound, DTS and Dolby Digital surround processing, and a 200-watt subwoofer. Both include the HDTV-capable audio/video receiver that also comes with the S5100. The S4100 also has the iPod dock, but the S3100 does not.

Each of the systems are available this month. Check out more in the slideshow.

Check out these packages

I have been eyeing (but holding off on) the Onkyo HT-SP908 package, and now that these have been released I’m thinking that was the right move. The systems seem similar, but with some updates to the receiver and a much lower price, the 7.1 package certainly seems like an attractive choice. They also dropped the DVD player, but I already have one of those anyway. I’ll just have to wait and see what the early reviews are.

Oh, and Amazon has the 7.1 system listed at $499 right now.
