$200 polk is better than onkyo, anything made by speakers manufacturer is better as compared to speakers made by ONKYO, SONY, Panasonic, they probably bought some cheap speakers and put their label on. do not expect any good from speakers stand point, their receiver might be good. The only good HTIB is from Harman/Kardon because they make both speakers and and Receiver very good, but it will be out from price range. u should try ebay for some used item, at least it will give you good quality. at $200 price range you not find good quality, for booming sound you need decent receiver which are far more expensive than $200.
if you will find anything under $200 it will give good surround sound at low sound levels as soon as u go higher sound levels you will start hearing distortion and all other stuff that you will not find in high to mid range systems.
