Thumbs up for me!

Sound great! Great freq response, had to do very little eqing once installed(cut just a smidge out of the hi mids which may be more personal preference than say a "flaw."). Angled baffles work great and get the sound where it needs to go, ie to me the listener! Install was as easy as it gets, and looks super clean with magnetic snap on grill covers. I'm a huge fan of JBL, and these fit right in with my existing JBL setup, tonality and signature matched check. Great bang for buck! Construction looks solid so don't imagine they'll fall apart anytime soon. Also housing comes with foam/vibration isolation strips already glued on mounting points, (to prevent rattling against drywall) so yes, all in all they really set you up for success! Setup: JBL 308P Monitors for Left/Right crossed over at 60hz JBL LSR310S Subwoofer currently low passed at 100hz, still playing with that a bit. 2 Dayton Audio 300w tactile bass shaker mounted in couch crossed over at 50hz And now 4 Jbl stage 260csa for in the ceiling surround L/R and Surround Back L/R Powered and processed by Denon AVR-X1800H, and FOSI Audio TB10D for tactile bass shakers.

Excellent for surround

Nestor Manue from Zebulon, NC on 5/1/2023

These speakers are installed and rocking. The installation was extremely easy. They sound very clear and look amazing. I am using them as surround and back surround for which they are excellent because it's angle. I put them paired with Bose 301 for now, moving down JBL A190 for better and deeper sound with an Onkyo RZ series. Crazy combination. Thanks to Crutchfield!!!

Pros: Easy installation, excellent looking and sound

Cons: None so far. I like JBL

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
