Advantages: Great sound, Great looks Disadvantages: No remote control
...The JBL On Time is a stylish, high performance iPod dock, RDS radio and alarm clock, available in black or white finish. It's one of the more expensive iPod docks on the market, but as with most things, you get what you pay for and the sound quality is FAR superior to cheaper alternatives (I also own an older Intempo iPod dock which was much cheaper but the sound quality is awful).
JBL are specialists in audio and it shows, the "Halo acoustics" system produces a rich, full sound from any direction and is more than enough for a bedroom or small to mid-sized living room. Before buying it, I'd only heard it inside a large, noisy department store and the sound didn't completely convince me, but I took the risk and bought one. After trying it at home, I'm more than happy with both the volume, and the quality of the sound.

Advantages: Wonderful sound quality, Suprisingly low price, Amazing design Disadvantages: None that I can see.
...go particulary high yet again with no distortion.
Design:
-Superb. They look cool in the photos, they look great in the shop, but they look superb sitting next to your monitor and the sub on the floor. The satellites each have a green LED on the underside, and as there is a 1cm space between the underbelly of the speaker and table, the table glows green. High-gloss white plastic casing is not only good looking but it's very durable. The touch sensitive volume controls on the right tweeter is ingenious, and the two chrome bullet-like treble and bass knobs (which do an excellent job in fine-tuning the sound to your preference) on the subwoofer are buttery smooth and complement the design.
Ease of Installation:
-Matching white cables have colour coded plugs with its corresponding coloured sockets for even the most stupid person to...

Advantages: Excellent sound for an excellent price! Solid build, 100 watts RMS Disadvantages: None for the price!
...I have owned 2 pairs of JBLControl1 speakers and they have never let me down! The first pair I owned I gave to my dad as he liked the sound so much!
These are bookshelf speakers and measure (H x W x D) 227 x 130 x 140 mm. They can be mounted on a stand, on a shelf or you can also order the wall brackets from jbl.
For the size they have an excellent sound, warm solid bass with crisp mid and treble. They are 100 watts RMS and can really handle some power. The speaker is 2 way, comprising of a 4" bass woofer and a 1/2" titanium laminate dome tweeter. These speakers also feature a front mounted bass port. When you play the speakers loud its is astonishing the amount of air that is forced out of the bass ports!
The speakers case is extremely tough, I have dropped one of my speakers (accidently, not some extreme test!) from...
