Center channel is clean and crisp and surrounds create nice sound envelope without overpowering the center. and was blown away by the sound difference. Excellent construction, wire-connections and mounting system.
Bass is tight and punchy and sounds much bigger than 10" without any boominess. and they look so good they draw compliments from visitors before I even power them up. This speaker set out-performs it's price and competition.
Hooked them up to old Pioneer VSX-D811S expecting some improvement over Infinity. Decided to upgrade receiver for blu-ray TrueHD audio & planned to leave Infinty speaker set in place. Got a great deal on JBL CS6100's that I couldn't pass up, and it came in before new Pioneer VSX-1018.
Now that the new receiver is in, TrueHD sounds better at my house than it did in Best Buy's home theater room.
Skip Bose and get these magnificent speakers. It pumps out some SERIOUS bass. I actually found these on eBay for an unbeatable deal. They probably will not satisfy audiophile ears, but for those who are new to home theater products, they will blow you away. Probably the only negative thing I would say is that the mounting options that come with it are not the best.
I prefer to use speaker stands, but I had to buy other brackets and screws in order for them to fit on my old stands. I also like the design of the speakers. Well, anyways, on to the speakers.Wow. I bought them along with Onkyo TX-SR606 and they sound incredible.
The subwoofer is amazing too. And boy, am I ever glad that I bought these speakers. I've played Blu-ray movies on them and heard DTS-HD MA, Dolby TrueHD, and PCM sound. It wasn't too bad, but it would be nice if all manufacturers would agree on one design for speaker brackets.Anyway, I've absolutely loved these speakers.
They have a glossy, aesthetically pleasing look that will fit almost any home. The speakers are so clear and have lots of punch. If you want the best bang for your buck, get these speakers.
I was actually a little hesitant about these speakers. After hearing these tracks, I will never go back to standard DVD ever again. I was torn between these and the Harman Kardon HKTS-18's.
OMG, I've never heard sound so clear. I never thought these speakers could so good. I bought them to replace some old Sony satellites that just had to go.
JBL is awesome.
Enough high quality speaker wire in the box for a medium sized room. even if you go to all of the places you can visit to hear speakers, you have no idea how they will actually sound in your own environment. Again, they performned well. Sub-woofer speaker cable included.
Having all the mounting hardware in the box is a real plus, and they give you two choices of mounts, fixed and swivel. Goal achieved, even with the purchase of the incidentals; some speaker wire, banana clips for speaker cables, an optical digital audio, cable, etc.- Speakers. Country and classical music, movies with dialogue. the CD480s have a single woofer and tweeter in satellites vs. A nice, classy look as well.
the dual woofers in the CS6100 package. I don't find that to be the case with the CS6100s, maybe because of the dual woofers.
The opening sequence from Top Gun (with the windows closed and the wife gone)was the first test. No disappointment here.
Next, a bit of Opera. A few weeks back, I decided it was time to replace my 12 year old Sony TV and 17 year old "stereo" system with its two cheap speakers.End result, after lots of research, was the purchase of the following, all from Amazon.- Samsung LN40A650 LCD TV- Onkyo TX-SR606- JBL CS6100 6-Piece Home Cinema Speaker Package- Logitech Harmony 550 Universal RemoteAlso connected are;- Scientific Atlanta cable set top box from Time Warner- Sony SLV-D300P DVD/VCR which is 2-3 years old- Nintendo Game CubeInstallation was in a 20'x30' room.My goals were to have a high quality TV with decent sound, and keep the entire cost under $2500 if at all possible.
The reviews of the CD480s indicated that they were a bit bright, a bit lacking in mid-range under some conditions. And, speakers are an object thing.
My concerns here were that the only review I could find on the audiophile web sites was for the smaller CS480 speakers. these do a very nice job and compare VERY well with speakers which cost twice as much.A definite "I'd buy again".
I do not have a subwoofer out from my receiver. The subwoofer is really more that what i needed, but I really enjoy it. So right not I am not getting the full sound from the sub.
The ony problem that i have is that the subwoofer does not have connectdions for speaker wire. No problem though, I believe it is time to upgrade my receiver. I purchased this system because of the great price and the previous reviews I had read on this product.
Crisp, Clear and lots of base. The speakers look great and they even worked with the previous mounting brackets that I had. I could hear a difference in the sound imediately.
I am really stoked to hear the sound after I get the new receiver.
I replaced my former JBL tower speakers with this set and I haven't looked back since. The mounting brackets are top of the line and the speakers are surprisingly solid for the price. I can't say enough about this speaker system. You can tell that JBL took great care in construction and sound quality. Great product from JBL as always.
