 great speakersDec 23, 2008
By Greg T
these came suggested to me by a friend who installs them in many new construction condos that have inwall audio. They have excellent sound for the money, and were very easy to install. would recommend for the budget minded audiophile looking for a good ceiling speaker. I had originally purchased the Bose in wall speakers, and returned them for these, and am happy that i did. They produce some pretty deep base for the size of speaker, turning the ceiling into a bass chamber. most importantly though, the highs are crisp. these work well simply as surround speakers, or as a second main channel (channel B), as they enrichen and help fill the room with ambient sound. I mated them with Klipsch towers and a denon receiver.

These JBL's satisfy...May 01, 2010
By Iceberg Slim
After reading the reviews of these speakers from different websites, I decided to purchase a pair for myself. I am using them for ambient sound in a whole house audio set up. The installation is pretty straight forward. However, as one reviewer wrote, you may have to cut the hole slightly larger than the hole size using the given template. Removing the grill from the speaker was a small challenge. JBL includes a small paper tab tucked under the speaker grill. This is supposed to make removing the grill easy. With each pair of my speakers (installed 4 pairs) the tab would just tear off when you pulled on it to remove it. So, I ended up using a very small jeweler's Phillips point screwdriver to pry the grills off. No big deal.
Overall I am very pleased with the sound of the speakers. They produce very clean sound. Using the speakers with a second zone amplifier with no equalization capabilities means you hear the music as recorded and the JBL's reproduce the sound faithfully. Shop around for the best price. The price of these speakers fluctuate from week to week. I always wait until they hit my price point (less than $130.00/pair) before purchasing.
I'd recommend them to anyone needing some decent speakers for a whole house audio set-up. If using them for a 5.1 or 7.1 theater set up (ceiling only) you'll need to pair them with a decent subwoofer to get the bass response you're looking for.
Some will probably suggest that it's not appropriate to use ceiling speakers for a 5.1 or 7.1 system, but, if that's the only area you have to install your speakers, then you have to use what you've got.
Sound Great!Nov 26, 2011

Arrived early and in good condition. Easy to wire and install. Very clean, bright highs, clear mids with nice tone, but if you want strong bass you will need a subwoofer.
6.5" ceiling speakersMay 14, 2011
By Ron's review
I bought these two ceiling speakers for my kitchen along with two 8" ceiling speakers (different brand) for my dining room. Both sets of speakers I bought based on customer reviews without actually hearing the speakers in person. I am more impressed with these 6.5" speakers than with the 8" speakers I purchased for my dining room. These speakers have excellent sound! I think they have very crisp and full sound that is quite impressive for such relatively small speakers. Installation was easy, the directions were good and I had no problems. They look great and match my white ceiling nicely. The sound quality to price is high value with these speakers.
Great speakers for a great priceSep 17, 2010
By Steugh
We bought these for our living room 5.1 as well as for two speakers on distributed audio in our bedroom. They were easy to install. Just cut a hole in the ceiling and hook the wire to the connectors on the back. Then tighten the 4 screws. They are super stable and sound great. It's also nice to have the tweeters adjustable so they can point to you.
