what's anybody's take on this? i been looking at some refurb for under $200. i would hook a 800 watt samsung htib 5.1 system too it. this is for my bedroom and not made to compete with my old school bose system in the living room.

1.) Chances are if you are satisfied with a Bose sat/sub system in your main room, you'll be happy with the JBL kit.

2.) But, the JBL kit is not a very good kit. Full range sats (no tweeter) and a limited sub. But >200 is not a big budget to work with.


For a bedroom and >200... go to Amazon and search MCS100. Going to be tough to beat that for ~$200.


SQ will be much better, though the sub is still limited it should be fine for a bedroom/small room.

Just my opinion, but I would ditch the Dell speakers and just run 5.1 in your main room. Better to two proper rears in a 5.1 than compromised sides (which are important) in a 7.1. As they say though, it's up to your ears.


Any my recommendation of the MCS100's for a two bills budget stands. I honestly think you'll find that they will hold up quite well against your main system (if not prefer them).

I think you will be mighty disappointed with that.


My recommendation is to save some money and then invest in a quality 2.0/3.0/2.1,etc. setup and expand as funding allows.


You seem a little defensive about your bose system, though...
