Better freq response compared to the Pioneers; smaller than the Pioneers; better high freq than the Pioneers; more efficient than the Pioneers; lower cost than the Pioneers, especially when on sale; seem to have better high freq dispersion than the...

You Can't Go Wrong

People ask me all the time about purchasing high-end names at high prices to get a good surround sound for their audio/video systems. I always suggest if you are on a shoestring budget, want a great sound will little investment, or don't want to be...

At $79.98 for two pair (four speakers) delivered, how can you go wrong. These JBL's have a small footprint and can handle a lot of volume and have nice detail and clarity. I'm using them in a 7.1 surround system and they do the job nicely

I don't suggest these for stand alone bookshelf speakers. At only 55Hz on the low end, you will need to pair these up with a sub-woofer to get a great sound

Enjoyable listening

Good quality wire attachment posts. For the price I find they do a great job for casual listening. Using a small 20watt amp you get a great desktop stereo that is so affordable. I like my Polk Audio R150s better as the drivers are better quality but...

For $40 on sale there are no cons. The speaker magnets could be heavier but that would cost more

Nice looking speakers, and equally nice sound

I'm currently using these as my gaming speakers, and have them connected to a little Lepai amp. They sound fantastic for listening to music, and provide a good amount of bass. I'd say music sounds a little cleaner (clearer highs) in the Pioneer's in a...

Great compact speakers that sound almost as good as my Pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelves. The tone is a little different than the Pioneers in a side by side, but for the price I paid for these they're fantastic, compact, sound great, and they deliver...

not sure if there isn't anything that I don't like about these. Be sure to shop around for a good price on these
