High Quality sound for the money!!!!

For the price ($500), you can't find a sub-sat system better than these JBL's. The bass is tight and powerful and the midrange is present, where most sub-sat systems lack. This is definitely a great choice for those wanting to have that "home theater" experience without spending great amounts of money.

Contrary to what Lewis thinks. JBL speakers rule. The are awesome! The sound is the best for the price range.
They are wicked

I was looking at the reviews and I auditioned the SCS120s......at Circuitcity they have them on sale for 599 and one open box set for 550 (negotiable)
Does anyone know if this is a pretty good deal? I plan on marrying it with
a Technics model SA-AX6 100W reciever if i do get them. They sounded good, but all speakers seem to sound good at the store for 20 seconds. Anyone have gripes otherwise?

peace!

Just picked this set up from Circuit City by chance. They were originally 999.00 on sale for 599.00, rang up at 559.00, got them for 539.00 because they were the demos. very happy with them so far. They didn't have an owners manual for them, if anybody has one I could get a copy of that would be cool. Time to go rumble the house some more.

purchase the demo model, talked the salesguy down to 479 for the entire setup. You can feel the bass through most of my apartment! Awesome system!

Well, I took the plunge and bought these bad boys from J and R in New York. I got for $550 which wasn't too bad but I'm sure I could've found a lower price. Considering they were selling at $700 when I looked at them first, it wasn't really that bad of a deal.
Now to the speakers. I have mixed feelings about them. It sounds great for listening to Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital. Placement wasn't too hard but the subwoofer is still a little tricky and I haven't found the sweet spot in the room yet. The output of these speakers are okay but sometimes the highs sound like they're straining the speakers. Mid-range is mediocre if even existent. But depending on where the sub is, sometimes that isn't too noticeable. The sub is great but as I said before, it is a little tricky to find the sweet spot.

Listening to music on these is another story. It really isn't all that pleasing to do. I'm not sure whether the problem is with the receiver or the speakers. I have the speakers paired up with a Sony STR-DE925. The bass gets too overwhelming and I have to turn it down just too get it to a tolerable level. The speakers sound pretty anemic when listening to music. I found that it was tolerable when I turned the receiver's sound field to Pro-Logic from a music sound field. Other than that, I don't regret buying these speakers.

The power handling is great -120 watts. They sound great in Pro-Logic and even better in Dolby Digital. I can't wait to get DTS dvd's and a demodulator for my laserdisc player. Music is a little disappointing but I can live with that since I have a Bose AM-3's hooked up to the receiver just for that purpose.

all in all I give the SCS120's a...rating. I bought them for home theater and for that sole purpose only.

I've got them 3 days ago from J&R Music store for $449+tax. Hooked them to Yamaha RX-V795. As was told by somebody here I think it has a weak middle range.But I found it very good, especially for this price. I wanted to get Polk Audio RM 7500 ($1599) but now just want to forget about them.
I'm gonna give a 4.

I Auditioned all the sub $600 "home theatre speaker" systems out there. For the price, this system is unparalled. The Bass is deep and defined (use both ports and a good monster cable). The bass literally shakes our entertainment center. Tghe surrounds have a good range. The only thing slightly lacking is the high on the center. I can live with that considering how well the bass/midrange sounds. If you like a "clearer" high, in my opinion, you may want to go with something else. The trade-off will be the bass. Overall, i love my set, they sounds awesome.. especially when you get to crank them up!

I ordered a set of these from J&R and was VERY disappointed with the complete lack of midrange. After sending them back I stepped up the the Klipsch Quintet with the 12" powered sub. In a word the new speakers are AWESOME!
