The system features four identical satellites, a matching horizontal center speaker, and a powerful 125-watt subwoofer. The satellites feature JBL's advanced titanium-laminate dome tweeters and 3-1/2" drivers for unsurpassed power and realism. The voice-matched center channel speaker uses components that are identical to those used in the satellites for seamless pans, with two midranges for extra power and clarity in the dialogue channel. The attractive contemporary design of the system and its black high-gloss finish will complement any flat-panel television and the decor of any room. Wall brackets are included for the satellites and center channel.

5 out of 5 stars Great price and Great Value   August 21, 2008
S. Patel (Lowell MA)
First of all thanks to the seller for quick shipment. What to say about JBL.. I guess name is enough for it if you know about Audio industry.
I just love it .....
Over all shopping experiment was satisfied.

Thanks again.



5 out of 5 stars Deep, rich bass and works well with a Yamaha A/V, and 46" LCD.   July 25, 2008
Robert A. Morin (Cleveland, OH, USA)
Nice stylish glossy black, connects well with 16-gauge wire and Monster connection plugs/pins. Deep bass and solid sound from subwoofer and satellites, nice stands with ball-and-socket connections. Works well with a Yamaha HTR-6160 A/V Receiver, and a Samsung LN46A750 LCD HDTV.

Albeit a high-quality set of speakers, I still have to wonder if these still lack support for the highest-end methods of decoding from A/V receivers, namely DTS-HD MA and TrueHD Dolby, even though the Yamaha receiver I own does decode those. I have yet to test out those features when it comes to watching some Blu-ray movies via my PS3. I will let you know how audio performance goes with Blu-ray over the weekend.

5 out of 5 stars Great sounding speakers!   May 25, 2008

I bought these speakers for my living room in a townhome. They are great sounding speakers providing more than enough bass. Watching blu-ray movies with lossless audio via my PS3 is awesome. Sometimes I have to turn down the sound because I think my neighbors can feel the bass. These speakers are a nice choice for someone that wants to enjoy surround sound without breaking the bank.


4 out of 5 stars Good home Theater Speakers for my Apartment   May 24, 2008

I live in an apartment and it was easy to hook up and the sound was great. Would have preferred if the controls on the subwoofer were in front for easy access. It is value for money. Only one problem, the connections for the wiring behind the speakers should be better made, because the wires come loose easily. Therefore, you really have to tighten the screws.
