| Review | Rating | Last Updated | OK as a step up from computer speakers
I used these bookshelf speakers with an ONKYO receiver for 6 months. While they're obviously capable of delivering more power and natural sound than my previous, computer based, speaker system, I didn't find the difference that big, and was a bit dissatisfied with the lack of clarity of dialogues in DVD.
<br />
<br />After some research, I decided to try the highly regarded Ascend bookshelf speakers. Clearly there is a difference. The diction in dialogues is far better, music CDs now have all these separate sounds I hadn't heard before. But they cost much more.
<br />
<br />Considering you can get the JBLs for about $150, they're an OK deal. Audiophiles will be dissatisfied, but if you're doing background listening, they're just fine. I haven't compared with other speakers in the same price range. | 3 | 741 days ago | yes they're better than Bose...
...but what ISN'T? Other than some generic Walmart brands maybe.
<br />
<br />JBL's Northridge series is their lowest, mass-market model line and it shows. Much harsher and cruder sound than their pricey Studio series, pair these with an equally bright-and-cheap receiver like a Sony or entry-level Yamaha and your ears will be toast. Not quite as bad as Cerwin Vegas but similar ballpark: boomy bass, shrieking treble, hollow midrange.
<br />
<br />In this price range you're much better off looking for online deals on Mission, Wharfedale Diamond, Fluance, and Athena speakers to name a few. | 3 | 741 days ago | Good Speaker - Great for the Price
These are great speakers for the price you get them on amazon.com. I have these paired with an E C35 center, E 250P sub, E N24WII for surround and a Yamaha RX-V767 AV receiver/amp.
<br />
<br />Great - highs are detailed, clear and crisp; Good - punchy midbass and clear midrange; Not so Good - mid highs are a little bright and over powering; imaging is also very good. (I have a E250 sub and have not listened to these on their own so I don't know about bass response/output).
<br />These speakers are great for movies/HT, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, etc. they are only OK for Rock or Classical music due to the over powering mid highs (probably the screeching referred to). They match seamlessly with the E250P sub which makes a great sat-sub system for the price.
<br />
<br />Bottom line - these are great speakers for music and HT systems for the price you can get them on amazon and I have already suggested these to others, everyone that has listened to my system is impressed. However, if you are paying MSRP there are probably other speakers in that price range that will sound better.
<br /> | 4 | 741 days ago | Excellent pair of speakers!!
I got these last night, set them up and wow! The sound is so clean, perfect for my needs in a bedroom. The bass is not overpowering but can be felt given the size. I highly recommend these speakers as fronts for a small to medium sized room or possibly the rears in a surround setup. | 5 | 741 days ago | Small size, Killer sound
After doing quite a bit of online research for a pair of front speakers for my new home theatre room, I decided on the JBL Northridge E30 bookshelf speaker and was not disappointed. I have two rather large front surround stands and these speakers barely fit on them so they are by no stretch of the imagination "small."
<br />
<br />I've been running a pair of Bose 10.2 floor standing bass reflex speakers and can honesty say that these JBL's more than hold their own against them. I can't speak strictly fir audio in the form of music but for front surrounds in a home theatre, these babies are jaw droppers. Rich, deep bass, superb highs and outstanding clarity and the hallmarks here and if you are looking for a pair of reasonably priced speakers which are capable of delivering top drawer sound, try them. You will not be sorry. | 5 | 741 days ago |
