 Great speakers but flaky subwooferOct 13, 2010
By sandeepkhanna
It's a great product for the price. I have had 2 sets purchased over the last 8 years. My first was a SCS 135.5 purchased back in 2002 and other one was 145.5 purchased in 2008. In both cases, the subwoofer went bad. The speakers are still running fine from both versions but the subwoofers make loud drumming or wooing noise when powered ON. Technical support acknowledged that the amplification module in the sub has gone bad. Cost to repair this would be around $125-140. I bought a equivalent SONY SA-W2500 subwoofer from Amazon at about $85 and liking it so far.

 Fantastic system for its sizeDec 03, 2008
By John Baldridge
We have these in two different rooms and have never once felt they were underpowered or unbalanced. These speakers are stealthy; they almost invisibly fill the room with crisp (but not tinny), powerful sound. If you are looking to impress people with how big your speakers are, these are not for you. If you are looking for a system to annoy neighbors in surrounding houses, you will need a bigger (10" or more) subwoofer and bigger mids.

Great Speakers!Oct 20, 2008
By Book Review Dude
This is my first home theater system. The speakers work great. Other then the need to switch out the stock speaker wire for something a little more hefty like say, 12 gauge, the sound quality is far more then I expected. The powered subwoofer is Ok, but I wanted something heavier - at least a 10". I got a 12", 400 watt subwoofer, and I think my neighbors don't like me anymore :) I would recommend JBL speakers over BOSE speakers any day!

 Subwoofer Died Too SoonOct 20, 2010
By Bigslew

I have owned these speakers for about 6 years. They are ok sounding for the price - I paid $150 for them on sale. I am not a serious audiophile. I just wanted a system that was small and unobtrusive at a low price for occasionally watching movies and listening to music. I don't use these speakers on a daily basis because I live in a small building with hard wood floors and I try to be a courteous neighbor. They are more of a "nice to have" so that goes to show you how serious I am about speaker systems.
Build quality, especially for the subwoofer, is cheap and disappointing. The wire connector inputs on the back of the sub are loose and the springs are so flimsy they don't hold the speaker wires in place. This is strange considering most people set up their subs once and don't really need to touch the speaker connections for years, yet they are in such bad shape you would have thought that I wore them out by constantly connecting and disconnecting my speaker wires.
And the subwoofer just died on me. It makes a really loud popping/knocking noise when connected under normal configuration. I have checked blogs and other review sites and the prognosis seems to be a bad amplification module. I mentioned my casual use of these speakers because even though I had them for 6 years, I didn't use them every day for 6 years. I probably didn't even get 3 years of use out of them. The sub should have lasted a lot longer!
Another reviewer here mentioned that the subwoofer died on him twice - why anyone would buy this unit a second time is beyond me - I would not purchase this system again. I think the other speakers are fine and I will continue to use them but I need to replace my subwoofer. The cost to repair is about the same as I paid for the entire unit. I doubt I will go with a new JBL sub even at the higher end because of this issue. I am leery of JBL's build quality and unsure that they can make a product that can stand the test of time.

Wonderful...Mar 24, 2012

I'm sure there are better systems available, but in our case, these have worked great. Maybe seven yrs. old but still blasting. No reason to upgrade yet. Love them.
