I have a pair of E80 for my front speakers and need to have a pair of decent speakers to match the E80. I first considered the PolkAudio R15. outpost.com always have them on sale for $50 a pair plus shipping. They have very good review. However, I was very disappointed with their quality after I tried them in CircuitCity. The high is TERRIBLE!!! Last week, Amazon have the E20 on sale for $85 a pair with free shipping plus $25 future purchase gift certificate. I jumped all over the deal and bought 2 pairs for 4 surround sound speakers in my 7.1 system. I got them yesterday. I am very pleased with their sound quality which has excellent clarity in the mid-to-high frequencies. Brass is good but you would need a subwoofer in high volume. They are good for both movie and music. I feel they can also be good as front speakers if your room is not too big. The only problem I have with the speakers is I can't wall-mount the speakers. Also, they are 8" deep and they don't look good on wall anyway. If you are looking for wall-mount speaker, you may want to consider the E10 instead.

Needed small speakers for the living room and did not want surround sound. I have had surround sound speakers and just having these 2 it is better. I sit about 10 feet away from the TV watching the Matrix and I can feel the vibrations right up through the couch and I did not even have them that loud. Great, cheap, small, perfect speakers.

I purchased these speakers with the Beech finish from another website with free shipping for $95. For the money, they are about as good as it gets. I am gradually putting together a sound system. I am using them as my front speakers, and will add the JBL EC25 as my center channel soon. I will probably relegate the E20s to surround speaker use when I have the money. The sound is clear and rich. For the size. the bass is decent, but for heavy hip-hop type bass, a subwoofer or larger speakers would be ideal. They are rated at 60 W, and their output is very adequate for my relatively small room. I have used lower end Sony speakers and these blow them out of the water. Definitely recommended.

I play string bass and it is difficult to hear the bass on most recordings but the E-20 speakers really bring the bass tones out. I don't feel I need an additional woofer. Really enjoying the great sound. J&R shipped fast. Ordered on the weekend, received Thurs.

I have four of these as part of my 7.1 surround sound system. The sound quality out of them is very clear and crisp. I have had them for about 3 year now and I am very happy with them.

These speakers sound great. For the money (less than $100) they are one of the top rated pair of book shelf speakers you will find. This is a no-brainer!

After reading previous posted reviews, I decided to purchase these JBL speakers to replace 2 larger Infinity speakers that I didn't have the floor space for anymore. It's still amazing to me that speakers this size can produce such an outstanding sound quality. I hardly notice the difference in quality (though I'll admit the Infinity speakers are about 15 years old) and these fit perfectly in my entertainment center. My great room is not huge and these are more than enough powered for great coverage. If you have space problems or a small- to mid-sized room, these are an excellent choice and you cannot beat the price for what you are getting in return.

I have 4 of these bad boys, and all other JBL speakers except need to buy one more pair. I LOVE these things clear, crisp sound and great surround and primary speakers. I use this for surround and my main front left channel. They sound great with Music, Games, and Movies are amazing! I used to have all Onkyo speakers cheap Home system package and they started breaking down and i decided to get new speakers. SO i got JBL and for the Price, and Sound you cannot beat them i Highley suggest them!
