Review: Vraiment un bin sin puissant et juste ! Qualité JBL !
Review: These speakers are so impressive, I just love them. The 10" woofer is excellent at bass. Best 10 I have heard. They go so loud it is almost funny, we are in real private place so not a problem for us. Sound good and controlled at all volumes. I am driving them with a Sonos amp. 250 watts a channel into 4 ohms. The mount works very well. Build is at a very high level. On the negative side, they are BIG, I was shocked "oh my what have I done" but once installed not a problem. I did not need the 8 pound transformer in each one so I removed to make a bit lighter. (find on internet) On certain pieces of music I can hear a bit of "color" from the cabinet but it is not a big deal or problem. Just be sure you have space for these and a big area to fill sound with, also need good power I would say 250 watts minimum. I am happy with the Sonos as it allows me to control volume with my phone. Do not try to run these speakers off your receivers "B" Speaker, it does not have enough power. I tried.

すぐに届きました。音も指向性があって透明な感じの音で雑音や量感もあり素晴らしいスピーカーです。インピーダンスマッチングトランスが付属でワット数切り替えでき放送マイク出力にうってつけでハウリングも少ないので大満足です。
