Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The diminutive Northridge E Series E10 loudspeaker reproduces audio in a big way. With its built-in keyhole mounting bracket and an angled baffle designed to disperse sound, the E10 is an excellent choice for wall-mounted side or rear surround speakers.

The E10 performs like a pro, with technology developed by JBL’s Professional division. Equipped with JBL's tried-and-true titanium-laminate tweeters and PolyPlas woofers, the speaker reproduces high notes with extreme clarity. The lows and mids, assisted by the dual FreeFlow flared ports, are loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess. The Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide ensures that every seat is the best in the house for sweet music and intelligible dialogue, or for just rocking out. Since the transducers were purpose-designed to work together harmoniously, JBL's simple Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network divides the signal with minimal processing (and minimal opportunity to degrade the signal). Sturdy gold-plated, 5-way binding posts provide a strong connection that preserves all of the nuances of the original program. The computer-designed, lock-mitred cabinet virtually eliminates distortion, and its slim European profile won’t overpower your room.

The E10 is available with an attractive Black Ash, Beech or Cherry finish.

These speakers are ideal for wall mounting. The sound quality is strictly JBL - that is First Class! As part of the rear channels for a 5, 6 or 7.1 system they can't be beat. These would also make great main speakers by themselves for a small room. Quit looking around for better surrounds-these are it!Treat your ears and your wallet, get these speakers-they truly COOK!

This review is from: JBL Northridge E10 2-Way 4-Inch Bookshelf Speakers, Pair (Black Ash) (Electronics)

I agree with the prior review of these JBL E10s, however I'd go to the E20s for a small room main stereo set--better bass worth the slight price increase. Bought for rear channel (RC) use, I find the E10s quite "airy", with what seems like a better high frequency response than the main E30s I just bought from A'.com (see my 5 Star review), giving extremely open and detailed "surround" RC performance.

NOTE: The specs listed on A'.com for the E10s state "Bi-wireable: Yes" BUT...unless JBL has just changed the terminals to do this that's wrong--mine have just a single terminal set, and DON'T BOTHER with the pricey speaker mounts offered as accessories (unless you plan ceiling installs) as they come with two "slide down" screw slots attached to the back for wall installation.

Surfing for the BEST PRICE, I bought mine refurbished from [...] for a LOW $53.00 bid plus $18.00 S+H directly from JBL and you may find the E30s/E20s from JBL as refurbs there as well.

As RC speakers--ESPECIALLY at the price I got them--I recommend them highly, well deserving the 5 Star rating given!

I bought these to round out the 5.1 stereo system I've been assembling. All the speakers I used are JBL's, and I think the quality for the price is outstanding. These are no exception, and hold up the back end of the system just fine. The frequency is probably what you'd expect from a small bookshelf speaker, i.e., not great in the bass rage, but they work great with the overall presentation.
