JBL SCS150SI Speaker System

Pros: Powerful bass, 5 matched speakers, dual drivers and tweeter on surround, wonderful for movies
Cons: Have to purchase extra speaker separately for 6.1 system, higher frequencies not as accurate

This surround system offers the best bang for the buck in the sub-$500 surround speaker category.

I originally looked at the SCS135, but for only $100 more you can buy the SCS150 system. Both were on display at Best Buy. The difference in...

Pros: Very good sound, small size, well built, reasonably priced
Cons: Very large subwoofer

For those on a budget, the SCS 150SI offers a very nice compromise between size, money, and performance.

The sound from all speakers was clean and crisp, with no distortions as the system was tested with "Saving Private Ryan" and "Star Wars:...

Pros: Sound quality for price. Satellite's J brackets were remarkably effective.
Cons: Large sub cabinet, wires provided needed upgrading.

Cons: may be too powerful for an apartment (neighbors)

I purchased the JBL SCS 150SI in Jan. 2003. I have a 53" HDTV so I just needed the sound to go with it. Wow! This system blew my mind. I was so happy that I spent a few extra dollars instead of settling for something less. I got it at Best Buy and...

Pros: Power,Sound,Price
Cons: Subwoofer size

Love it. A lot of power. Sound crisp and clean. Subwoofer generates amazing low frequencies. Comes with brackets for front and rear speakers. Sony speakers that I bought 3 years ago not even close in comparison with this set. I'm very positive that It will be very difficult (if possible) to find same quality speakers for same amount of money. Highly recommend.

Pros: tiny speakers small sub Best name for the dollar
Cons: you cant hear the music a block away.

Lets face facts. Your paying under 300 dollars. Its affordable THX sound. Its loud enough to hear every detail in a medium size room. Its not the loudest speakers in the world. By far not cheap speakers because they are still JBL the most well known audio equipment in the world. What can anyone complain about. Get them be happy and enjoy a great set up. When you have more money a few years down the road upgrade. For now get a outstanding receiver that will last 10 years. Get these outstanding speakers and a quality DVD player and enjoy these little suckers. The 8 inch sub is more powerful than you think.
