Can someone give some insight into these two systems.

Which one is better ? Would apprecaate your inputs.
Thanks for your time.

I read great reviews about JBL 136SI SCS series but
I wasnt impressesed when I heard the demo. maybe the settings werent right.

On the other hand TS450 infinity is very impressive
during demo, but I am not able to get/read online reviews for these systems. Are they popular ?

I am looking for speakers with good clarity and
decent frequency response.

I do not know your mounting options, but the infinity system has a threaded insert in the back for easy mounting while the JBL's can ONLY be mounted to a wall (which it comes with). Thus, if ceiling mounting is required or considered, scratch JBL off your list.

Vijay,

I auditioned the JBL160's and the Infinity tss-450 and 750's myself. I too read great reviews about the JBL's and found them to be messy sounding. On the other hand, I found only a few reviews of the Infinity's but when I heard both of the Infinity's, they sounded much cleaner. Something else I liked about the Infinity system was the speaker wire mounting as they screw in as opposed to having a spring-clip like the JBL's.

What kind of receiver are you pairing them up with?
