I am concerned about speaker quality. I would not care for weak, high pitched, echo like sounding speakers. Any reviews on speaker quality?

The speakers are exactly as you described. However, very few monitors (if any), including high end monitors such as this one have decent speakers. You'll need to buy a dedicated speakers in order to achieve any level of bearable sound quality.

Absolutely. Great speakers. For the current price I don't know of any others that can compare. I advise you buy them before they're gone.

While I hesitate to give answers on these types of questions because there are some serious audio snobs out there but here we go... I have the entire set (center and rear surrounds as well as fronts) and I love them. They are crisp and clear. A good friend has the Bose speakers and we both prefer the sound of my system. That said, the rooms are different and speaker wire and receiver... are all different. I assume you're pairing them with a sub because they lack deep punch on their own. Long story short - I love mine. I compared them at electronics stores as well to Polk and Bose - and they sounded better to me, as well as the sales guys there. Hope it helps.

I'm completely satisfied with mine. Good sound for the money. The "aux in" feature is a nice touch also.In regard to whether they're for audiophiles, I'm definitely not an audiophile, so no clue. I think they sound good. They don't distort my music and have adequate base considering how small they are.These are little computer speakers, not stereo speakers. They are vastly better than the speakersthat came with my Dell computer. They aren't as good as the ones attached to my receiver (which costabout 7 times more).

Thats like asking MaryAnn or Ginger. I am using a Sony HiRes Amp and they sound fantastic. Any good quality piece of kit will let these great speakers sound good. It's a choice of your taste and wallet.

it depends on your own ears , my speakers sounded great right out of the box and they just keep getting better !

I am not happy with the audio quality. Yes, it gets loud enough, but the tone sounds somewhat tinny and buzzy to me. I am looking into external audio options.

well, it's really hard to say. i never heard of these speakers until now. i reviewed them on youtube and i'm ipressed. how they will sound with this amp is a mistery to me. but, try to find info on-line of people who use these speakers for music. sorry i can't help anymore than that. happy hunting. but, if these speakers are amplified i would'nt recommended it. you'll probably blow them. thanks...aj..

I am very happy with the Pioneer speakers. Bass is not an issue for me as well. I like more treble. I listen to Rock/hard rock.

I have the TL250 speakers and they do a great job and can rock the place. Good choice for speakers.

Unless you are and audiophile you don't need to worry about it. Get some good quality powered speakers.

To be honest to say for sur I would like to know the frequency range before I would say for sure but these speakers sound absolutely great especially around the price range they are at. I have not found anything around this price range that has the sound clarity that these do. Their high frequency range is superb their low end is also good but to say for sure I would like to know the frequency your asking about.

Hi Ethen,I am not a good judge of sound quality. Overall, the sound is OK but I can say that in my opinion the bass isn't strong enough.Ori

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

The speakers from JBL have the sharp and shrill. When I buy boxes again I will buy a brand with a sharp smoother. If you're the type who likes to acute very strong...buy! But... if you get annoyed with the sharp high pitched these boxes can be a problem for you!

Glad to say that after 2.5 years these things are still good as new. The Onkyo receiver is getting a bit glitchy though. Auto switching between settings for inputs is abrupt and not optimized, so I have to adjust settings more than I'd like. And pass thru doesn't work anymore. I'm not up to speed on specific models these days but I'd start at $500 and go up from there. Harmon Kardon is well respected, I imagine they'll get a hard look next time around. 7.2 should be standard on most units in that range. Also Wi-Fi, etc could be cool. I'm not lacking for good speakers these days, but I would prefer simplicity which my onkyo lacks ($400 in 2009). Start with the negative reviews and go up from there keeping in mind a small allowance for factory defects, and if possible try it in store, or a similar version. Brands normally keep similar interfaces until big money comes into play. But I am still digging these speakers, money well spent. Hope that helps!
