The document discusses two decision making processes for purchasing new speakers. For the first purchase, the criteria were that the speakers needed to be for a laptop, provide quality sound and bass, and be portable. Several substitute brands were considered before purchasing portable USB speakers for Rs. 1,200. For the second purchase, the home theater system needed to provide smooth, quality surround sound for a LED television. Multiple brands were researched through reviews before selecting a SONY HT-CT80 home theater system for Rs. 21,499.
