What more could you ask for?.......2005-02-20

These speakers have clear, powerful signal and great dynamics. The bass output alone allows for me not to use my subwoofer. The high dynamic outoput makes for clear-as-a-bell high. The dual 8" 2-way mid-ranges are more than adequate for a rich, crystal sound. As a musician, I have taken great pains at obtaining adequate loudspeakers for my home system. This pair are worthy of a great listen.

Careful about set-up, however. You can damage the speakers if you're not savvy on impedance/wattage capacity and the capacity of your amplifier to handle the speakers. Seek assistance before doing so if you're not sure.

Warranty Excellent on Paper, Worthless in Practice.......2001-09-30

Just hope dosnt break, JBL has what looks like nice warranty, but in practice they are IMPOSSIBLE to contact. Take it to authorize repair center, tell you take MONTHS for JBL to send parts. Just try contacting JBL, be ready to take week off, thats how much work it will require JUST to get a live person to speak to you. When I did, said would fax authrorization to fix speaker to center, NEVER DID.
Just bought another speaker, not JBL. Last time these creeps get my money

Warranty Nice on Paper/Worthless in reality.......2001-09-30

Nice set of speakers!.......2000-01-01

I bought a pair of these to go with my DVD player and I have never been disappointed. I use a realtively cheap AIWA receiver, and I get fantastic sound quality from movies and music. Heck, even watching broadcast TV and my hi-fi VCR produce stunning sound. I've never heard any distortion coming from the speakers, and I've played some funky CD's with extremely low and high frequencies. However, I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I do not play it at very high levels for long periods of time. They can get extremely loud and the bass is VERY deep, no need for a subwoofer that I can see. 5 stars for the speakers, 3 stars for the amazon.com price. Still a good deal for this kind of sound quality!
