Last Sunday, we told you about a great but brief deal for those of you building or overhauling your home theater set-up. Today's deal contributes to that theme, adding floorstanding, two-way speakers to flank the center channel and boost the surround sound experience. The offer will also stick around a little longer for those who may not read this right away.

Newegg lists the Polk Audio Monitor 60 Black (Single) for $150, a savings of 50 percent off its "original" price. But shoppers can get an additional $37 off by using this promo code--EMCMLMT36--for a final cost of $112.99, a savings of more than 60 percent. In addition, shipping is free.

The speaker features three 5.25-inch midrange drivers made of a bi-laminate composite and a 1-inch tweeter made of a fabric/polymer composite. This speaker can handle up to 200 watts and has a frequency response of 38Hz to 25,000Hz.

CNET hasn't reviewed this particular speaker, but Amazon buyers gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. (Indeed, none of the 20 reviews on the site gave it fewer than 4 stars.) Many reviewers cited value as contributing to their experience, but note that Amazon lists this item for $179.90 plus $25 shipping.

The speaker deal on Newegg ends Thursday.

Hey, everybody, do me a favor and take it easy on my weekend pinch-hitters. For starters, they're working weekends! That's no fun for anybody. What's more, they're spotlighting stuff that I normally wouldn't, like these speakers, handheld GPS receivers, etc. Viva variety!

Please, as a favor to me, try to be courteous. You know the old saying: If you can't say anything nice... :)
