These speakers are a MUST BUY. They are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard in this price range, and in fact their sound rivals that of more expensive speaker systems. I purchased a pair for my bedroom and now I am going to buy another pair for my den. I saw the same speakers at Best Buy for $119.00 a pair and they are totally worth the retail price, but at the prices here on Amazon they are an absolute steal.
JBL Control 1X Personal Monitor Speakers February 18, 2008
I was looking for a pair of small, bookshelf speakers to go with an old NAD 7140 receiver I dragged out of the basement and set up in my bedroom. Looked at several types, including Boston Acoustics, which have been reviewed favorably. I bought those, but wasn't blown away. I saw glowing reviews of JBL Control 1X speakers on this site and decided to give them a try. Wow! The sound is superb. The highs are clear and sharp and the lows are as good as those from much bigger speakers. They are smaller than many other bookshelf-type speakers so they can be set up anywhere. I've been a JBL fan for more than 30 years. The company makes fine speakers. These are no exception. And for less than $100...perfect!

After reading all the great reviews, I thought I had found reasonably priced, good sounding small speakers for an extension of my stereo system to a second room. All I can say about these speakers is, "You can hear the box." Anyone who has heard speakers that are acoustically invisible will know what I mean. These are definitely not in the premium quality category. I guess for the price, I should not have expected so much.
Great Speakers January 4, 2008
Got three pairs of these from Amazon for $75/pair. Also bought the wall mounts for them. Replaced older Infinity surround system. The Infinities had a silk dome tweeter. These have a titanium tweeter which provides a more crisp sound. I went to BB the other day and used the speaker switcher to compare these to the bose, klipsch, infinity, yamaha and sony speakers that were all connected to the switcher. My decision to buy these JBLs was totally validated. They were waaaay better than the other speakers there. I recommend them.

I replaced my Allison speakers which I had for more than 10 years with these JBL's and couldn't be happier. Top of the line? No, but for the money they are simply the best choice. Listened to more than 20 speakers with cost up to $250 and these won out. Amazon had them for under $80!
