Matzer..Firtly am looking for the mini wall mounts (other than bose) but I do have a pretty big family room. 4 meter wide by 8 meters long. This is not my HT as I have a big HT in the cellar. This is a casual set up predominantly for music (80% music 20% HT). The sats will go pretty much near the corners of the room.
I tried to find some reviews on the net but found almost nothing regarding these JBL's. A shop in park square had one on hand but it was reserved for some one else so I could not even demo the unit. Was quoted 21,800 cash deal. Where did you get them for under 20,000?
Do you use them only for HT or also for music?
Do they crank?
Any Problems on loud volumes?
Maybe you give a quick review as you have had these a while now.
Looking forward to your reply.
I am happy with these for HT, they are ok for music, not audiophile quality of course, but good enough for background music. Mid range is not as excellent as bookshelf speakers though.
Crank? yes it can but if you want louder volumes on a room as big as yours, maybe try to get the bigger 260.6 system plus a sufficient amp. I am not sure on how loud you expect it to go, loud background maybe, but not disco loud. The subs are quite sufficient and can play LOUD. Like I said, for the
price & compact size, this is a good enough 5.1 system.
The one quoted to you is a 200.6 (6.1) or at 21k, that might be the bigger SCS 260.6 already.
Mine was an older "class B"/ demo unit 200.5 (5.1). They dont have any more of this on stock though, I was just lucky to find one.
