C1PRO Control 1 Pro High Performance 150-Watt Miniature Studio Monitor Speaker (Pair, Black), 9.30 x 6.30 x 5.60 inches

Ceiling mounted in a somewhat confined space, (a residential boat), but still give high quality sound and good separation. As expected for a compact speaker, a bit lacking in bass, a decent subwoofer overcomes this for me. Don't go nuts with the mounting brackets, they work well with normal hand tightening of the collars, no need for tools (except a screwdriver on the screws, of course) or brute force. Overall very pleased. Priced about right IMO.

Yeah. I'm on my fourth set. They're cheap, powerful, uncoloured. Go get 'em. Wish they had banana plug receptacles rather than just bare wire sockets, but they come with great wall mounts so that makes up for it. (I mean I have four working pairs, not one set I've replaced three times:)

The bass driver in one of my Control 1 speakers was beginning to malfunction so I was delighted to be able to upgrade to these speakers. They still fit the original wall mounts I purchased years ago for my original now long defunct Control Pro units. The performance is excellent as expected from JBL.

(Update) I am taking off one star, as whilst the speakers are still excellent, JBL Support is terrible. 6 months in one of the locking rings for the wall brackets snapped, it's a pretty poor design. JBL Harman Support as linked on the support page for this product simply refuse to support any speaker purchased from their Amazon Store. I just wanted a new small plastic part but they took great lenghts to tell me if I wanted support I'd have to go back to Amazon. Now to be fair Amazon were great, they offered a full return and refund of the speakers, but replacements were out of stock so I'd be left without speakers. So instead they offered a partial refund and I could keep the speakers, I used the refund to source some better brackets. The rest of my review still stands, but just be aware if you buy these you will get no direct support from the manufacturer, and you should keep this in mind for any products purchsed from the "JBL Store" on Amazon. Original Review--- I'd used the original Control Ones many years ago, I was always impressed with what these tiny monitor speakers could do. Was buiding a new system for my study and a NFM made a lot of sense as it's a mid sized room and I was going to be spending most of my time at my desk working close to the speakers. What a joy these speakers are, of course there isn't any deep bass due to the cabinet size...I thought I might have to put a sub under the desk. But after listening to them they don't need it for my application. What bass is there is tight and precise, the top end is revealing but not harsh. Putting them on the provided wall brackets and the soundstage is strong, vocals and instruments seem to be their biggest strength with a transparency I've never heard before at this price point. Build quality is great, these are rugged little units and would survive a lot of abuse, the spring clips are a bit of a let down for a professional application but make no difference for my use case. Overall they are just a great do anything speaker....and a bargain at this price...I can't think of another speaker at this size and price point that would sound better. Their clarity does demand a decent source, it reveals artifacts in lower bitrate streaming very easily, they are also mid/low sensitivity so a decent amp is recommend (though they work pretty well on my modest 25W RMS Linn amp) They also sound better after a brief running in period at moderate volume (in priciple I was always a bit of a disbeliever of "running in" but these certainly got a bit more blanced at lower volumes after they had been used for a few hours at moderate volumes) Great small speaker, with a big sound at a small price....they are very unfussy about placement, one of mine is tucked into a room corner and it didn't change it's sound signature at all.

I use them as satellite speakers in a surround sound TV system and they are doing a great job

These speakers are amazing value for money. I've used them as surround sound peripheral speakers on my 5:1 home cinema system, the full range frequency sound is excellent.

I'm using these as surround speakers in a 5.1 ch system. Their clarity sharpness and power are all significant upgrades on what they replaced and they've added a lot to favourite music as a result. Recommended, especially if you're on a tight budget.

Nothink.

Da ich bereits die älteren Control 1xtreme besitze kann ich diese nachfolger nur jedem empfehlen. Klang ist einwandfrei wie man es bei JBL gewohnt ist und bei dem Preis gibt es nix zu meckern! Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung

These are great small bookshelf speakers from JBL. An indication of how good is that they have been made for nearly 20 years, definitely not a member of the speaker of the month club. These are made for professional use, so there is no wood veneer finish. The flat black case fits in with most decors and holds up well over many years. I've had a pair for a decade and recently bought a second pair for another room. I've been a JBL fan for 50 years, and it's amazing that they offer this quality at such a low price. They are capable of exceptional levels of undistorted neutral clear sound for such a small speaker. Deep base is weak with only a 5.25" woofer, but they are easily paired with a subwoofer. While small enough to be used on the desktop, with a powerfull amp and a preamp with a high pass filter they provide extraordinary sound even when played very loudly in my 400 sq ft living room. I use them in both a 2.1 music room and a 5.1 home theater setup. The high pass filter makes sure that low frequencies are only sent to the subwoofer avoiding distortion in the main speakers. This is only an issue if you listen at very high volumes. Make sure your amp can drive 4 ohm speakers. They pair well with my Fosi 120W/channel class D or vintage JBL SE460 60W/channel class AB amps and Klipsch R-120SW subwoofers.

Casse piccole ma dalle ottime doti.

Good speaker. Nice sound however they should mention that its a passive speaker and you need to buy amplifier to play it.

JBL, enceintes de qualité confirmée après le test et valeur sûre. certaines autres enceintes vendues sur AMAZON aux environs de 77€, soit moitié moins cher, mais diffusent autant de bruit que de musique,!! Ce qui en résulte une envie de silence après 15 minutes d'utilisation!! Les enceintes que j'ai testées aux environs des 75 et 79 € sont médiocres au niveau audio (distorsion) sur un empli de 15w RMS max, à peine à moitié de sa puissance! Attention aux annonces indiquant une puissance de 300 et 400 w max pour de petites enceintes, c'est un piège!!
