Great highs, good lows (subwoofer has independent adjustable volume control).

Midrange is a bit nasal. All satellites (but especially the center channel) need a 3-1/2" to 4" midrange driver rather than the 3" driver used in this system.

Bought this product based upon reviews for JBL SCS135. Figured the SCS135SI would be an upgrade. For the price, this surround speaker system can't be beat. I'm an old-time audiophile (55yrs old). I still prefer the sound of good old fashioned stereo systems. I have auditioned Polk, Bose, Infinity, Klipsch, Harmon Kardon, etc., and these JBL's sound as good or better than all the others. HOWEVER, they still can't touch the sound of my old stereo Advent Legacy speakers, or my old ElectroVoice EV-2's. AAAH, progress!
