Are these speakers too big for a room that is 8 foot by 13 foot?

That should be fine, if you have the space for them on a shelf or a desk they will fill the entire room with sound, I have them in a fairly large room and they have no problem.

not at all. these are a decent TV, light music speaker in a small room coupled with a small sub {pioneer sw8 or martin logan dynamo 300 would be a good match}

I would say not. I think you'll find them ideal for a room that size. As with all speakers (and other audio equipment), your ears will be the final judge. So, as with wine, the saying is (something like) "don't let anyone tell you what you're supposed to like."

The JBL ES20 is definitely not too big for virtually any room. They are capable, wide-range speakers which would fit in anywhere. Even the big brother, the ES30 wouldn't be too large for an 8 x 13 foot room.

Don't know...some simple measurements will let you know. They are great speakers though

See cnet's review: http://www.cnet.com/products/monoprice-10565/I have them in a 13'x15' room and have zero complaints. I can not imagine that they would have trouble in a larger room.

I have used them in large areas but for a prom I would recommend using a sub with them. It will really fill in the low end plus move more air. With high ceilings you will want more air moving. If you are new to these speakers I would add that I've had the best sound when keeping the 15 inch speaker about 6 feet off the ground with the both speakers pointed slightly in like they are pointed toward the same spot in the middle of the back wall of the venue. Good luck, it sounds like a fun sized gig.

Yup most definitely! Our living room is 16X20 too and we have great sound. We just positioned speakers around the room.

Hi there, I owned two set of these speakers, they are nice and adequate for a small room. However, I found that if you need to get the children's attentions, you may have to have two sets (4 pieaces) at four corner for the sound to be adequate

I dont know but they are small speakers that dont go too loud so i would probably try speakers that are a little bigger.

No they will not . I had to make my own boxes .but still not happy just not big enough room for any kind of nice boxes for the speaker to sound good no boom just a boo! .better off getting custom made boxes from stereo store if you want it to sound good I got a estimate from a local place they said 200 bucks they will take seat out measure & then build a good quality box for whatever size speaker you want. Sorry for the bad news.

If you are going to power these with an amp and spend money on an enclosure for them, you should research a subwoofer instead of these. Performance from 8-12 inch speakers will be much better. However, if you must use these as subwoofers the speaker boxes can be found by searching on amazon, looking for sealed enclosures would suit these speakers best. Explore the 8 or 10 inch subwoofers for more bass with relatively the same price after all is said and done.

No way. I sent mine back twice. Then just returned it for my money back. The (2) 8" speakers sound great

I am quite certain that a small room could handle the speakers. They perform well at low volume for my stereo speakers on my entertainment system. I am using them like bookshelf speakers. You certainly could use smaller speakers in a room that size.

I don't know what your dementions are but our speakers were a pretty good size and not extactly light in weight. We have had them mounted on the wall (make sure its secure and not just in sheetrock) use special anchors or a stud for at least 2 years or more with no problems.

My room is 15 X 30 Feet, will these work well for home theatre use? I don't listen to music much

They are a fair speaker the bass is not bad in volume however it does tent to sound quite muddy I would personally get a set of the Rockford prime series in the 6 x 8 as I own both of these.T he improved sound is worth the extra cost. good luck

yes I do. these speakers put out a lot of sound. I use them for my computer and only have them 1/8 of the way up. I can imagine how good they would be for your classroom.

I think you'll like them. I have one pair mounted up high in my covered 16' x 32' front porch and they're hooked up to a 100W Gerard receiver. I enjoy music from these speakers over 200 ft away while I'm working out in the yard.

I found that if I place the speakers in line with the corners of my base, and have the bases pointing diagonally that they provide a wider foot. 8 inches by 8 inches, but placed diagonally, more like 11x11 :) (ty Pythagoras.)
