3.0 out of 5 stars Midrange Is Too Strong, February 26, 2010
This review is from: JBL ES90BK 4-Way, Dual 8-Inch Floorstanding Speaker - Black (Electronics)
See 3/19/2010 update below.

I'll start by saying that my 3 rating would be about a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale. Based on the overly strong midrange and the fact that JBL is having this speaker built in China, I can't give this a 4 out of 5.

Fit, finish, and appearance on this speaker is somewhat mixed. The front panel veneer is attractive and rolls to the top panel via the beveled edge at the top front. The front panel is made of MDF and appears to be either 3/4 or 1 inch thick. It sounds very solid when rapped with your knuckle. (This is a simple and quick test I would recommend for any speaker.) In general the front of the speaker looks very good.

The side panels are thinner MDF and have a plain black veneer with a fine texture. I can't tell whether they are 1/2 or 5/8 inch thick. The entire cabinet tapers from front to back, with the back only measuring 7 1/2 inches wide vs. 10 1/4 at the front. This tapered design isn't my first choice, but... Read more

I could have not been more pleased with these speakers. I first listened to them at a local frys electronics and the range and depth just simply amazed me. Not to mention this is a steal on the ES90, thanks amazon! The ES80 is slightly watered down version are going for $50 more currently. I was able to find deals on pretty much a complete set of the ES series speakers here on amazon.
I currently have
ES90 - mains
ES25C - center
ES150P - woofer
ES20 - bookshelfs

Together the set provides a complete range of sounds that pretty much covers all ranges of audio from music to HD surround sound formats. I highly recommend any speaker in this series. As always I reccomend that you hear them first as not everyones ears are as finely tuned as some. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Big speakers, big sound, October 5, 2008

If you're used to your typical bookshelf or home-theater-in-a-box speakers, you might be surprised at the size of these. Those woofers are bigger than most small system subwoofers. And there are two of them.

The sound is great, and plenty loud for a medium sized room. The legs work great on a hardwood floor, with no vibration noise coming from them. Overall, they feel stable and aren't likely to fall over.

Color was a bit more on the grey side than I had expected, but looks nice. They match the surrounds/bookshelf speakers well.

Not shown is the cover that covers all of the elements, but not the bottom. This looks nice and is black, but isn't clear from the image.
