Strengths: Crispness, Detailed, and Accuracry.
Weaknesses: It's mid-range is recessed.
Summary: These speakers are great, a bit of midrange is missing however it could be because of placement. I did however follow the manufacturers speaker placement specs. The subwoofer goes down to 25hz with ablomb, and the entire setup is fully loaded with wall mounts, and bookshelf stands. Nothing in the price range competes for what you get in the package and sound quality.

Strengths: Affordable, Great, professional sound from well built speakers for a home theater system with pleasant finish and look. BEST 7.1 speaker system for less than 400$ price.
Weaknesses: The provided speaker wires are of inferior quality. Not easy to connect thicker speaker wires to the back of speakers.
Summary: 2006-03-31 22:19:34 These 7.1 JBL speakers are aptly named as SCS ( surround cinema sound) series speakers. I use an onkyo TX-SR702 7.1 THX ceritified reciever with these speakers and these speakers ROCK and produce amazingly clear sound, and works perfectly with my onkyo-702. The 150 watts powered subwoofer is at the heart of these SCS-300 7.1 speakers. The subwoofer shakes the floor with wonderful bass sound effects. I've initially used the speaker wires in the box and I was totally disappointed with the sound quality. Invested around 200$ in state of the art MONSTER CABLES for connecting the speakers & subwoofer to onkyo, and the speakers start sounding marvelous. Lovely speakers which match my 65'' toshiba HDTV decor too. It would have been great if the center speaker is more powerful. These speakers have a max 100 watts power rating per satellite speaker, and my onkyo produces 100 watts max for each of the 7 speaker channels. This wattage match created a perfect combination.

Strengths: Elegant speaker design, included table stands/mounts/wires, great overall sound quality.
Weaknesses: Center speaker could be a little louder.
Summary: The satellites speakers produced a seamless surround sound experience. The subwoofer has more than adequate connectivity options & produces a rich deep bass sound. Good for small to medium room size.

2 Star ReviewGood for DVD's Only
Strengths: Cinema sound quality. Crisp and bright with a thunderous bass when watching DVD's
Weaknesses: Lacks mid-range warmth.
Summary: I have this system set up in a room that measures 25'-0 x 30'-0 with a 14 ft. sloped cathedral ceilings. We spend 60-75% of our time listening to music. Everything from Diana Krall, Nora Jones, Eva Cassidy to Steely Dan, Earth-Wind&Fire, Van Halen and even AC/DC. So .. here is my review and thoughts: The cinema sound quality is good especially when used with a 7.1 receiver. The highs are crisp and the lows will shake most small to mid-size rooms. Amazingly, these speakers fill the room. The down-side is that music does not sound good through these speakers. I was one of the first suckers to buy a Bose Acoustimass system and after 10 years of procrastination I decided to upgrade my speakers, ironically these are not much of an upgrade. Actually the Bose speakers, when used with a stereo 10 band graphic equalizer, sound better with CD's than the JBL's. The Bose lacks low-end punch and high-end clarity where the JBL SCS300.7 lack the mid-range warmth. I would not recommend these JBL's to anyone that wishes to listen to music through them. If your primary intention is to use for DVD's then they will fit the bill and I doubt you will find a better Home Theater in a Box system for the price.

Strengths: 150-watt powered subwoofer
Weaknesses: none that I can hear
Summary: The six satellites are true 2-way speakers with advanced titanium-laminate-dome tweeters and dual drivers for more sound power and realism. All cables, and wall-mount brackets and shelf stands for the satellites and center, are included. Awesome
