JBL SCS500.5

With four identical satellites, a matching horizontal center speaker and a floor-shaking 150-watt subwoofer, the SCS500.5 completes your surround system. The four satellites are... more...true 2-way speakers with advanced titanium-laminate-dome tweeters and dual drivers for more sound power and realism. The center channel speaker is identical to the satellites for seamless pans, with two midranges for extra power and clarity in the dialog channel, but is configured for horizontal placement on top of many televisions. The satellite and center speakers are all video-shielded for placement near a television. The room-shaking 150-watt powered subwoofer delivers the excitement of thunderous, penetrating bass.

This speakers can be placed on floor stands, hung on wall brackets. It consist of four matching satellites with matching center channel, and a subwoofer which is costlier than other subwoofer. The satellites and center channel speaker all contain dual 3-inch drivers and 0.5-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters. All the speakers have spring clip type speaker terminals. The subwoofer is a 10-inch bass reflex design powered by a 150-watt amplifier. Micro-speaker systems sound was very clear and focused. The rear-channel surround speakers provides best sound once i positioned three or more feet higher than the front speakers. However, high-fidelity DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD music hear best when i place the surround speakers at the same height of the front speakers
