Amazon.com Product Description
Part of JBL's Venue Series, Monitor speakers produce great sound. With a frequency response ranging from 68 Hz to 20 kHz, a sensitivity of 86 db, and a continuous power handling of 60 watts (peaking at 240 watts), Monitor speakers give you clear, accurate audio for your home theater, whether you're listening to music or video dialogue. Featuring 3/4-inch titanium-laminated tweeters and 5-inch PolyPlas woofers, Monitor speakers use the Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide to ensure quality sound anywhere in the room. Equipped with a FreeFlow flared port to increase bass response, Monitor speakers give you low notes that are clear and distortion-free. Weighing just 7 pounds apiece and enclosed in a case measuring 10.875 x 6 x 8.625 inches, each Monitor speaker is light and compact enough to position easily in your home theater. Combining versatility with quality, JBL Monitor speakers are designed to meet a range of audio needs. JBL Monitor speakers are sold in packages of two.

 Nice bookshelf speaker July 21, 2006

This is JBL's low end bookshelf speaker. I assumed this would be bigger with a 5 inch woofer, but it is a pretty small full sized speaker. Nice low range for the size, clear sound, easy to hide and perfect for a surround sound setup (I used if for the rear channels). Sound from it is clear with good tone. Overall definitely worth the price (even though I got it from a discount warehouse for less).

Nice and clean sound.
I bought these as side surround speakers...I didn't read carefully...there are no brackets to mount them. I nailed on picture frame hangers.
Low keyed nice looking speakers.

Great Small Speaker with Bigger Sound than Expected January 5, 2007

First, I should say that I am big fan of JBL speakers. I have a set of 135 surround speakers that I bought a few years ago and I still use the small surrounds as my rear surround speakers as well as the subwoofer.
Anyway, I bought these to replace an in-wall speaker that I have from Cambridge Soundworks. (We put a bookshelf in rendering my in-wall speaker useless). I am very impressed by the construction & sound of this speaker. It is solid feeling, very nicely designed and sounds great.

I'm sure these are great speakers, after all, they're JBL.
Unfortunately nothing in Amazon's description indicates that they're not powered and will only work with a system that includes a receiver. I bought them to upgrade the depressingly poor quality of the speaker built into my new Sony Bravia HDTV but that won't work because there's no way to power the speakers. (I confirmed that with JBL's customer support.)
I'll probably keep them since I got such a good price and I have faith in JBL. I may use them someday or can give them as a gift.
If your plans for these speakers include a receiver do buy them. Otherwise keep looking.

I actually didn't buy these speakers for a home theater system, but rather my home studio/computer workstation. Now my last pair of speakers were Event 20/20. For those who aren't familiar with those speakers, they are used by many professionals as near range speakers for mastering audio projects. At this point in time I wasn't able to afford $800-$1000 speakers just to use for my home computer setup. But I was worried I was spoiled by using professional monitors for the past six or seven years. The price of these JBL speakers almost seemed to good to be true, but I figured I could return them if I wasn't happy. Well, these little speakers took me by surprise! Crystal clear sound. Nice mids and highs, along with clean bass. I am currently going from my computer outputs to an Alesis RA300 amplifier, so that helps quite a bit. A great set of speakers for an excellent price!
