I bought the JBL Cinema SB300 and set it up today. I've had no problem with the wireless pairing or my wireless router. My $.02.

Many soundbar systems with wireless subwoofer seem to suffer with interference with wireless router. I understand that this JBL system has a way to do wireless pairing between the soundbar and the subwoofer, but does it actually change wireless channel to avoid interference?

I sit about 7 feet away. I have to turn volume up to around 70. I am definitely going to upgrade to a external speaker set up. Still doing research. I think it will be the Vizio s5451 soundbar system that is suppose to give you full surround because of the rear speakers, or just get one of the Sharps soundbars. What I hear if you want the best in surround than a receiver with a wired option is the way to go, more so if you are in a big room. For now with the volume up high it is adequate but can be better.

For a soundbar with the speakers of such small size, the low end response is very good-particularly for apartment living. However, ML does make a subwoofer that could accompany this. For louder or more demanding music or movie listening, a good subwoofer (there are many that would be computable) would be a welcome addition.

This sub is extremely powerful. I haven't seen many soundbars that would adequately compliment this sub. There are some out there I would like to hear what you have.

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.

I recently bought Onkyo 5300 and today noticed that S6300 has come down in price. I think spending little extra to acquire HT-S6300 is well worth it. I absolutely love Ht-5300 but the speakers are huge! I like sleeker look of Ht-s6300, plus up conversion, aux mic features are worth spending little extra money. But if you don't care about that, HT-S5300 is very good system with excellent sound. Haven't checked out Yamaha, so can't comment on it.

If you want a sound bar, it's probably a good choice. It sounds good but doesn't have a huge bass response, so it's less likely to carry. Just keep it turned down to a reasonable level.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

Mine sits in an 87 Mastercraft and runs to 4 Infinity marine speakers. Bluetooth works and sound quality is excellent. I've only used it a couple times, but so far no issues.

I got this soundbar for a while now, i got no problems with it. I considered it the best because of the price and its functions. There might be better ones, but it will cost more definitely. I would suggest the same product line with a higher speaker and subwoofer output.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

Hi John, I am using this as a bedroom system and am powering a pair of Paradigm MK5 SE speakers (small towers) with it. I am running it through a DAC and just using a extra iPod as the source. It fills the large bedroom with beautiful sound and stout bass. You will want to make sure that your speakers have a relatively high sensitivity number - probably 87 or higher for best results. It really helps to smooth out the sound from a digital input. My father-in-law was so impressed with the sound, he just got one to power his Martin Logan bookshelf's. I have not tried to use it as a preamp, so can not comment on that. Overall, it's a great little piece for the price.

Why match a powerful 12", 300W-460W subwoofer with a weak, small 4", 80W bookshelf speakers? Doesn't make sense. I'm getting the BIC FH-65B 6.5" 10W -175W, 96db speakers for my PSW505. If you're going to go cheap and stick with the SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones then you should get the PSW10 for half the price ($95) of the PSW505. They are a better power and price match.

I have heard of it, but I wonder how the bass response would be with only 5 1/4 woofers. Mine is paired with JBL Es80s and I am very pleased so far. Especially for the money. But at the current price you can't beat the 363s.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

Right now I am using a Pioneer VSX-1120 that powers all my speakers,I am running the JBL in front,bose center, and sony front ,side and rear a total of 9. I also have run my Onkyo TRSX-705 . I did like the Onkyo but it is only a 7-1 hookup THX. I will probably be selling that one due to I have a RCA to. The JBL'S are good for Bi-amp.They sound real good with plenty of base for the action movies or listening to music. Let me know if you need any more advice. Remember to use a heavy gauge wire.

I've been looking into this for a few weeks now and decided to take the plunge. I have heard such good things about it and can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow. I'm only hooking up to it a PS3, my 42" plasma, and my Verizon FIOS box. I can't wait to use it with my new Polk Audio TSI 400s and 200 speakers. How is Polk's audio quality? It must be pretty good since you are still using your antique Polk speakers.
