The jury's still out on these. They are intended to replace 40-year-old L100's. It's probably not apples to apples, but these are a little brighter and a little tighter. I can't tell if the brightness is because being taller than the L100's I'm simply more on-axis to the tweeters, or because they're actually brighter. Unfortunately I don't have a way of doing A-B switching. One thing for sure, these are a phenomenal bargain considering that they compare easily with L100's.
Pros: Solidly built, tight bass, bright and tight mid to upper. Good presence.
Cons: None, really.

Stage, JBL Stage!
Emil from RCHO STA MARG, CA on 2/13/2021
I really like the way they sound paired with my Yamaha receiver. They are very well balanced tonally. They're awesome! I love their pure and simple aesthetics too. These speakers replaced my Cerwin Vega XLS-6 s, which had a deep horn loaded soft dome tweeter. The biggest difference I noticed with these JBLs is that the sound stage is soooo much bigger and the sweet spot for listening is enormous. Even though these speakers have aluminum dome tweeters their highs are surprisingly smooth but slightly more emphasized and detailed than previous speakers which I'm very happy about. These speakers may not be built with exotic materials and wood veneers, but their build quality and JBL's engineering truly makes up for that.
Pros: Smooth detailed highs, almost Neutral & natural sounding aaaand Fun to listen to! Huuuge sound stage!
Cons: Now I need more Powaaa!!!

Great performance. I've been really happy with how they sound across the whole range. Bass is really punchy and highs come through clean. Aesthetically not my favorite but knew that when buying them.
Pros: Sound quality Easy setup Different feet options
Cons: Grills are not magnetic Feel less dynamic and detailed at low volume

I don't have a ton of experience buying stereo equipment but these certainly sound nice. It's only been a few weeks so I still haven't exited the wear in period but the speakers look and sound great, good bass, great for watching sports, movies, etc. Would highly recommend, especially if on sale!

Beautiful speakers worth every penny
Dale from Westerly, RI on 1/31/2021
Hi everyone. I purchased these a few weeks ago not really expecting much from them. At the time I was driving them with a Yamaha vx-385 receiver. I definitely wasn't pushing them hard at all and they still sounded really good. I just purchased a Yamaha RX-v6a with a Niles SL-250 amp. Let me tell you it is amazing. The niles amp drives those speakers beautifully. I am no audiophile by any stretch of the imagination, but I have been around audio enough to know these are amazing speakers. They handle 200 watts rms each without any sign of problems. Beautiful crisps, mids and lows. The base is quite impressive and along with my sub it is superb. I have a room in our basement that I use for workout and after party when we have guests. Basically it is a night club now and I am not even joking! Buy these, but make sure you drive them properly. push them to their max!
Pros: Exceptional sound quality that you can push hard.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.

Great all around speakers
Brandon from Kent, WA on 1/8/2021
Great speakers! They have a lot of bass! A lot of clarity! And a nice warm midrange that sounds like real humans are talking and not thin sounding like some horn speakers do! They are easy to drive them, so don't be worried about the 6 ohm rating they get loud quick!!!! I love these speakers!!!!!
Pros: Everything
Cons: They could look a little better but the sound quality makes up for that!

OLD SCHOOL...WELL BALANCED!!!
mike from Overland Park, KS on 7/1/2020
EXCELLENT SPEAKERS!!!...JBL nailed these!...Extremely well balanced sound. Nothing over bearing on these unlike other brands I've heard. In most cases these days Old School is GOOD! New Technology does not always equal better; just more convenient and cheaper to manufacture. Watching movies and listening to audio are both well defined and natural no coloring at all. Highs are articulate, Mids well balanced, Lows accurate. I was nervous about the 2.5 way but was pleasantly surprised. They do need break in time as any speaker. Like the design ofn the feet, especially for wood floors. Only one Negative: speakers do not have any fasteners accessible from outside the cabinet. If one goes bad you will either need to buy a new one or send it in to JBL. One of my woofers went bad two weeks in and had to ship it back and have a replacement sent. Not sure if they are worth full price do to that, but if you find them on sale? Worth every penny and then some.
Pros: Well Balanced...Articulate...NO Coloring...affordable.
Cons: As far as sound?.. NONE!..Speaker attachment to Cabinet may not be user friendly
