[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these surround speakers. Not only do they sound great, they look great. We set them ip on the sides of our living room rather than behind us. When we are watching a movie, these speakers are crisp and really make you feel like you're in the movie. The sound travels all the way behind you. Lastly, the magnetic cover is awesome. Fits perfect and maintains a perfect match to the other JBL speakers in the system.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Backfill done perfect!! But can ROCK on their own

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great speakers on their own. These can rock hard just as a stereo pair all by themselves. I am currently using these as surround speakers in my JBL Stage 2 home theater system, and I can find no flaw with these speakers in that capacity. They provide the perfect amount of ambiance whether bringing in music from behind in a movie, getting the crowd effect as I'm watching sports, or getting that surprise noise from behind in a scary movie. It all just draws your attention more into what you are watching - which is why we all have surround sound systems!! And these match perfectly with the rest of the Stage 2 speakers in my system (280F [Front], 240H [ATMOS], 245c [Center]. 220P [Subwoofer]).
These speakers match a 5-1/4 inch woofer with a tweeter and a bass port on the back to provide a large amount of sound over a substantial frequency range (55 - 25K). Footpads are provided for both speakers to allow placement just about anywhere without worry of scratching furniture, or bookshelves, or whatever you may be placing them on. These have grills that are magnetic and stay on easy, and they are even easier to take off if needed. It took a little bit of work and trial and error to get the speakers into the right place and sound level. But once you get that sweet spot. you really ARE in the middle of all the action, whether it be a movie, sports, or TV.

Great Speaker to add to your System

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great speaker that will help in achieving the 360 degree sound that we all want when listening to music or watching our favorite movie. Like many of JBL's products it is sleek looking that is not at all an eye sore when you put it in your home setup. The sound quality is excellent and really adds great sound value to your overall setup.
The mesh screen on the front can be easily removed incase you do like the look of the speaker better than the mesh front. Would highly recommend this purchase as you could put it in the back corner of a room and never know it was there until you turn on your music or movie.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this surround sound speaker, easy installation, and amazing sound quality! Love that this speaker is simple to place in a location. Such a big difference in sound quality than a sound system kit. This is a very well packaged item for shipping, showing they care about your purchase!
