5.0 out of 5 stars Small size, big sound, February 13, 2009

By	Benjamin L. Martin "gitapaynts" (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: JBL ES20CH 3-Way, 5 1/4" Bookshelf Speaker - Cherry (Pair) (Electronics)

First set I ordered were actually defective, producing a low, mild buzz. Contacted Amazon and they immediately sent me a new pair and allowed me 30 days to get the defective ones back! This was great service.

The new pair works as I was hoping, beautifully!! The construction is solid and very attractive. These speakers are smaller than I had thought though, maybe the volume of a box of hiking shoes, but this turned out to be an advantage for wall mounting and generally looking tasteful in my living room.

The sound however, is immaculate. Super crystal clear highs with robust midrange. I am looking forward to being able to get the series accompanying subwoofer though, since these speakers really have little bass response. But they shouldn't really. These speakers are entry level for high end speaker systems, where each speaker has an assigned task, these are for mids and highs which they do spectacularly.

2 of my brothers have JBLs and my father too, all have been overly pleased with the quality, performance, and durability of these speakers. I highly recommend them!
