Compact size, easy installation, all cables/brackets included

No LFE cable supplied (not mentioned on the box)

Bottom line, and all you married guys will understand this..

MY WIFE LIKED THEM SO MUCH SHE BOUGHT THEM ON THE SPOT.

And there was three less expensive models (>$200 difference).

I have had my Setup for over a year now, without speakers. Between a lack of time, money and , well my wifes objections to blowing cash on speakers for the tv when the TV already has speakers)

We stopped into the SONY store just to look around and the sales guy was doing a demo of some Sony speakers, and then switched to the JBL's.


They had such a great base, a sweet mid range, and high highs.. and they are tiny.

The guy listening opted for the $150 sony system, my wife bought the JBL's.


We are both happy.

Small, great sound, comes with mounting brackets, 8" powered sub w/ LFE input

The mounting brackets are difficult fit onto the speakers.

You will not find a better deal for your money. This HT system has it all, even it's own powered sub with LFE input. All the wire is included, except the LFE (you'll want to buy a nice one anyway; see www.ac4l.com).

If your an extreme audiophile, I wouldn't recommend it. But if your looking for high quality HT sound and don't want to spend a fortune (or give up your right lung), this is definitly for you.

This is a great all around surround sound speaker system. They have escellent sound quality, even at high volume levels. They're so small, you can put them about anywhere, and the 8" self powered sub is unbelievable!!! If you're looking for an inexpensive speaker system, look no farther, this is the one for anyone wanting a great system on a budget.

My system is
Yamaha HTR-5240 DD and DTS Receiver

JBL name, complete home theatre package, excellent sound for home theate

for the price, not much

I bought these speakers after reading all the reviews on this site. I must agree with most of what is being said. Namely, these are an excellent set of speakers for the price. It is equally very good when watching dvds. The small speakers give out surprisingly good and clear sound while the sub can literally shake things around. However, I must say that when listening to "normal" music, it is not as good - although it isn't bad either. To put it perspective, for home theatre application these speakers score 9/10, but for music only 7/10 (thats on the generous side too).

Having said that, I am not dissapointed with my purchase and in fact recommend others to buy it. One thing I noticed though is on the centre speakers, the JBL logo was upside down....wierd.

Great All-Around Sound, Nice Solid Bass (With Monster Cable Of Course!), Small, Low-Profile, Yet No Loss Of Power

None That I Know Of

This IS MY FIRST REAL 5.1 DOLBY SURROUND SYSTEM, AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THESE SPEAKERS ARE GREAT; I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GREAT DEAL VALUEWISE, WITH NO LOSS OF POWER; SUBWOOFER IS GREAT TOO!

Imaging,pricing for complete package,brackets included

appearance-center channel speaker looks wimpy

Although I knew the measurements prior to purchase, I was a little taken back by how tiny these speakers actually are - but good things do indeed come in small packages. This was to be my "other" home theater - low budget system using the Go-Video dvd/amp combo ($250) with an old 27" RF-only TV, set up in the basement. Well, compared to my "main" system which cost considerably more, this latest set-up, to include these speakers, definitely has me telling others that you don't need to drop big bucks for astounding results. I popped in test DVD after another and was amazed at how much detail these little beauties created. The power sub completes the scene. With the brackets and a ton of wiring, don't know why they don't throw in a patch cord for the LFE. In the process, I have learned the three "P's" of home theater - placement, placement, placement. I highly recommend this system for the beginner, or for the bedroom or apartment dweller.

I connected these to a Yamaha RX-V596 receiver. My brother-in-law has the same receiver connected to the JBL SCS 125. I loved his system, so I intentionally copied it. I bought the same DVD player as his (SONY DVP-S570) and right down to using Better Cables for the interconnects. But by the time I came around to buying the speakers, nobody had the 125s anymore, so I bought the 135s. I'm glad. He agreed with me that the larger subwoofer and centre channel speaker of the 135 gives a more fuller sound than the 125.
The small size is great for my small TV room (10' x 12') and the clarity of the sound is wonderful, with no hiss from the sats or boominess from the subwoofer.
