Summary: Use a sub-woofer and this system is very good. The center channel speaker is a bit under-powered, so a center volume boost may be required -- depending on your taste for loud center channels.
I am upgrtading my receiver to a 6.1 system and will move the center speaker to my rear-center, and buy a new front-center. It should suffice nicely as a rear-center.
I would recommend the system to anyone. Many people have commented that my sattelite system sounds mich better than large speaker systems. I agree!
Strengths: Clean highs and mids
Weaknesses: No bass. Must complement with subwoofer.

Summary: Verry good speakerset if you use it with an extra Subwoofer. The firts 9 months I was not completely satisfied. So i decided to buy some floor stands for the front. The seller told me that i could better take an active Sub so I did. Now the DD 5.1 sound is really great.
The music perfomance is even as wel perfect for me.
"I use the Yamaha YST-SW90, a perfect solution with a good price.
Because I think the product is not complete when you buy only this set. I took of a star of both "Value & Overall"
Strengths: Good crystal clear Mid & High
Weaknesses: Verry poor Bass

, from Rohnert Park , CA usa
Price Paid:
$65.00
from ubid
Summary: All i was looking for was a simple surround that was cheap. I have had Infinity in the past and heard these in stereo store by my house. went online and bought online at Ubid (overpaid on shipping as everybody does)and they rock. I have upgraded to total DTS and these bring the rears to life. wish ubid would sell more. no problems with these.
Strengths: High are highs. well sound from such a small package
Weaknesses: mountability. had to buy brackets from home depot just to mount them on speaker stands

Summary: "Stay away from JBL, Infinity, and Bose it's only a name." I should have listened to my friend when he told me this. I sold this on E-Bay after a month. Some poor sucker out there bought them and I feel very sorry for him. If you were going to buy these, I'd recommend the M&K SW-85s M&K sound blows Infinity away for a very competitive price. These sounded horrible, there's absolutely no mid-range. My center speaker I'm planning on purchasing might possibly have been an Infinity due to a good price I get can from a local dealer...not anymore...M&Ks all the way baby!
