Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Jensen's stylish, imminently affordable Champion Series 2-way, bookshelf C220 speakers can flesh out your home theater with surround sound, fill your dorm or apartment with music, or provide gentle background ambience in your bedroom or business. Use one pair for stereo or surround applications or pick up two pairs (4 speakers) for use as the front and surround elements in a multichannel listening system. Movies will sound more lifelike and enveloping with timbrally matched speakers all around, and plenty of newer music formats--from the DTS surround CD to DVD-Audio and SACD--offer music from your favorite artists mixed expressly for surround-sound listening.

Mate them with a powered subwoofer to fill in the lowest frequencies, and you'll be ready for the anything. (Alternately, you could use these as surround speakers with larger, floorstanding speakers for the front left/right channels.)

Standing just 14 inches tall, the C220 speakers each use a 30 mm soft-dome tweeter for sweet high frequencies and a 6.5-inch cone woofer for filling out the bass frequencies. They're not the most efficient speakers on the planet, but they'll do fine with as little as 15 watts per channel while handling amplifiers as powerful as 75 watts per channel. Durable binding-post speaker terminals offer strong connections with your speaker cable for high-efficiency signal transfer from cable to speaker.

Place the speakers so that the tweeters are on a level plane with your ears. If you install the speakers in a wall enclosure, take care to ensure that the front panels of the speakers are flush with the front of the wall. Jensen also recommends positioning the speakers at least 3 feet away from the television to keep the speaker magnets from interfering with the set's picture, at least 1 foot from any side wall, and a minimum of 8 inches from the rear wall. This prevents exaggerated or "booming" bass and helps the speakers produce more balanced, detailed sound.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, 2 speaker grilles, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Good studio monitors.......2006-03-03

I bought these speakers for a 5.1 setup in my recording studio where I do sound and music for indie films. I amplify them with a yamaha surround reciever and I am very pleased with their natural reproduction of sound and their power handling. At $50 a pair you can't beat their price to performance ratio. Jensen speakers allready have a good reputation. With this series of speakers they could definitely compete with speakers well above their price range.

1 out of 5 stars disappointing.......2005-09-02

As you might guess from the low price, these are made in China.
I had a chance to try them out on a hi end tube amplifier;
and the sound was exceedingly faint and shallow. These are not quality speakers by any stretch of the imagination; and I do not recommend them unless you have an amp with lots of power, and a tin ear. The return of them netted me less than a 50% refund.

5 out of 5 stars Great little speakers.......2005-04-02

I just got these today and they sound great. Tons of bass come out of them (have to put my bass down to -3). Comes with gold posting for your speaker wire too. In back of speakers even has a bass port. Great price from amazon and super fast shipping. Can't wait for the c990 speakers to come (said they were in stock, but nothing yet). Got the jensen center (which also sounds very nice and you can't beat the price)to go along with all five for surround sound. Buy these you won't go wrong!!!

4 out of 5 stars Awesome sound (for 50 bucks that is).......2004-10-30

Believe it or not these speakers sound better than ones costing double, even triple their $50 price tag. I didn't have a lot of money to replace the bedroom pair that finally found the dumpster, so I took a chance on these very inexpensive yet amazingly good speakers. They even look good! You will be pleased with the frequency response that captures the highs and lows in most types of music. And you can blast them without any distortion. Great tight bass! I am shocked that such a cheap speaker can sound so darn great.
