I headed to Best Buy the other day to have a look around and started comparing the pre-packaged surround speakers they carry. Luckily it was right after they had opened (before the store volume hits 80db's) and I was able to really listen to some of their systems. I don't have a lot of experience in the audio part of home theater and was wondering if any other people here would agree with me that the JBL SCS150SI package outperforms the Bose AM-10's? I listened to both HT and musical sources on the systems and was happier with the JBLs in both cases. Next, I listened to each system from a couple aisles away (a weird test to be sure but I was just curious) and there was absolutely no comparison between the two. The mid to low range in the Bose seemed to die away the moment I left the center of the Bose display--very disappointing. The JBL held it together much better from a distance. My reasons for this test were because I often listen to music from a room adjacent to my home theater area. Anyway, I like the $500 JBLs better than the $1000 Bose system. Anyone care to offer their opinion?
