Products: Polk Audio RM705 5.1 Home Theater System
JBL Cinesystem 500 5.1 Home Theatre System


We want to buy Home theater system and want it to be good one. When we first went to the showroom we looked for a Sony bluray systems..But unfortunately they did not have the wireless models here So we went in for systems like the ones mentioned above. Both were demonstrated to us and we liked both.What I felt was that JBL has more of a movie type effect when both movies and audio is played. But in Polkaudio the movie effect is there while playing movies and when we played audio music I feel the clarity was good. I might be wrong since am no expert in such things. I feel the movie effect is not needed while listening to audio..But not heard much about Polk audio and JBL speakers are mostly used in theaters and stadium type places. All knowledge got from internet about these two.

So we are a bit confused which one will be a good buy.
We are purchasing a BD player and Denon AVR1312 to support the system.

Can you advise as to which one will be a perfect one. Polk or JBL

I use difinitive but getting ready to install some James loudspeaker inwalls. I hooked up the James power pipe with the James M-1000 sub amp and this thing is awesome. All this with a Pioneer Elite VSX-81.

If you go to places like Amazon or Cnet, almost every speaker
gets good ratings. I will say this - if you can not decide which
to buy, then do a coin toss.
If you desire some other reccomendations, then give a budget.

I would like to put a vote in for the Polk Audio Blackstone TL350 system. You will need to get a nice sub to go with the system but boy the really blew me away for the money. Check out the review at sound and vision mag.

Systems like the 705 are intended for very-very small rooms.
