I have owned 2 pairs of JBL Control 1 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 head height to the floor and it survived! The speakers also have tough removable metal grills with rubber edgings.
The control 1s are usually black but I have seen them in white also.
The speaker wire (not included) is connected through spring clips on the rear of the unit. These speakers are also magnetically shielded, meaning they can be place directly next or on a television without the picture distorting. Perfect if using in a home cinema set up!
These are also good as monitor speakers if you have a studio type set up or if you are a home dj.
I bought these for £100 a pair years ago but you can now pick them up for half that, £50 a pair! An absolute bargain!
