JBL Monitor Loudspeaker Control 5

JBL CONTROL 1 REVIEW

Advantages: Excellent sound for an excellent price! Solid build, 100 watts RMS
Disadvantages: None for the price!

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!

JBL 1xtreme

Advantages: Great sound, pro speakers
Disadvantages: A bit small

I was looking for a pair of speakers to go with the turntables and mixing desk I had just got cheap on ebay but I didn't want to spend anything on a pair. My dad took these out of the garage so I looked them up on the internet. I couldn't find them on the JBL site but after searching I found that they were on the JBL pro website and these were actually professional studio monitors. I didn't wait around, I took them off my dad and went to wire them up. A few weeks later I got a set of Wall brackets and I was on my way. That was 2-3 years ago and these are still my speakers in my room, although me and my dad are making speakers cabinets ...

Review of JBL X 1 Control

JBL speakers

Advantages: great vaule for money, good base, clear sound, great for small to meduim rooms
Disadvantages: struggles for volume in large spaces,

looking for a speaker system to fill large rooms with the volume up high the JBL speakers are going to struggle to achieve this due to its relativly small speakers. If your looking for a product to do this then i suggest you fork out that little extra cash for somthing that will emit the volume you desire. However for use with an i pod or laptop in your bedroom or office then this fits the bill. ...
