I really appreciate what Kristi said about these speakers as it pertains to hearing loss. It’s something rarely if ever brought up on these type of reviews across many channels. I have severe tinnitus in one ear that has profound hearing loss. No high end at all and greatly compromised mid. The other ear has moderate tinnitus and some high end loss. It’s horrible and I don’t wish it on anyone. So when it’s acknowledged that everyone is different and it could be more a part of audiophile reviews that many of us have hearing loss, it makes me feel less forgotten. Thank you for the review and thank you Kristi for the inclusion. Deafness is the forgotten or ignored disability. ❤️☮️

You guys have been doing a great job setting up a bank of tower reviews! Thanks for not shying away from these big things to avoid the hassle. At right around the 1000 and under price point I think the obvious to request is the Klipsch reference, especially vs the RP line, but since you asked also Emotiva, SVS, and maybe something from the non heritage KLH line up would be cool. Im also excited for that massive center channel coming up, I feel way too often centers are taken for granted. Thanks again!

Great review Andrew. I've been a fan of JBL for many years. They don't always get the notoriety of some of the other speaker lines. But they never seem to make a bad speaker either. I currently run for a front sound stage JBL 290s, a 235c center channel and two Klipsch R-110SWs subs(I was too late to get two JBL 590Ps). In essence you can't go wrong with JBL.

JBL speakers are terrific, up and down the line from boomboxes to home theater speakers to professional grade studio monitors. I have 5 JLB 2328 LSR speakers (active) in my home studio, as well as the L100 Century and four more floor standing JBL speakers. They are hard to beat in terms of price / quality.

Good review. And I have to agree based on my experience with the Stage A180s. I caught them on a good sale and put them in my basement connected to an old Denon AVR. I use them to listen to music (loudly) and watch the occasional TV show while I use the treadmill. It sure beats earbuds and they’re a hell of a lot of fun with or without a subwoofer.

Great content as always. Regarding you last question. I saw one of your videos about you guys going with in ceiling Klipschs. How good are inceiling or inwalls in general for a HT if you were going to use a sub. I have found some really good priced Def Tech Di 6.5lcrs. And because of door location in my room, towers are not really an option I am confused between book shelfs or inwalls. I would not be able to pace the book shelves too far apart and would sit a little lower than I would like them under the screen. Alternative is inwalls on the side of the screen and one as center. I could also go with a traditional center.

I have the JBL a190s and everything you said I totally agree with regarding the sound characteristics. Easy to place, easy to drive, slightly bright top end, deep boomy bass that gets a little squirrely in the nether regions. The soundstage is wide but not great. People and instrument’s can be sometimes placed and sometimes not. The speakers sometimes gives away their positions and you notice the sound is coming from them. I use these in my gigantic 3 story 30 x 20 living room and they fill the entire space even using a chi-fi dac/amp (Loxjie A30). If you want affordable room filling sound these are a good choice. I also have the JBL studio 530’s and those are tonally some of my favorite. For anything 100hz and above they smoke the stage a190s in every sound category except dispersion and ease of placement. Lastly thank you Andrew and Kristi for all that you do. I’ve bought the Kanto Yu6 3 years ago after your review and have been hooked to the channel ever since. Recently bought a full Polk reserve ht setup because of your R700 review

My thoughts are, if you can open the cabinets without damage, take these steps. Remove all the acoustic stuffing. Make sure there's no dust on the inside wall, and line the sides with dynamite, or sonic equivalent. This is used in automobile doors or trunks to tame the vibration. Re-stuff the cabinets. Be sure to keep the ports open. I find the stiffer (semi-rigid) open weave padding useful around speaker ports to keep the air passage open. The dynamit or Xmat will do wonders to tighten that midrange.

I own 3 pairs of JBL Arena 170 towers, and I must say for the price they are phenomenal performers. I paid $150 a pair USD many years ago during the holidays, and you can't find anything near them for that price nowadays. Kudos JBL on amazing speakers, and great job on your review. 👍🏻

Hey Andrew I'm a fan of your channel so I greatly appreciate your videos. I agree with Kristi, I own the Stage A170 tower speakers and they sound awesome. Once I added acoustic treatment(diffusers/absorbers) that brightness completely disappeared. I have a Adcom GFA series 2 power amp with a Schitt Saga plus preamp fueling them with Canare speaker cables/interconnects and I'm in Hifi Hog Heaven. I'm curious Andrew why haven't added any acoustics treatment to your space, I noticed when I did it literally changed the sound of all my speaker.

Hi Andrew and Kristie I'm happy that your doing budget speakers at even such a low price point and seeing such good results it makes having a true decent system seems more practical for the average or less average enthusias. However two very popular speaker I have seen on the market are the polk monitor 70 series ll or any of their elite line do you think that they would be good budget contenders or even worth giving a looking at. I wonder how you think they would stack up against the competition or where do you think they would fall?

Great review, as always. I would love to see you review the Heco Ambient Series (Wall-mounted). I have not seen anyone as credible as you review them and I am considering putting 4-8 of them in a gathering/multi-purpose room. Where we live, there is not the type of retailer that would ever carry them, so hoping someone might put them against some competition and see if a wall-mounted can hold its own. If that is not an option, do you have any recommendations for a room like the aforementioned? Thank you for the consideration.

@TheMack 2 жыл бұрын

Perfect timing! I've been hunting reviews of these this week since I'm just about to go shopping. I'm in the market for floorstanders that are more "full range" so I can get rid of my subwoofer (paired with Klipsch RP600M). Would also like to see reviews of the Polk R600 and ELAC Solano FS287 as well, since these are somewhat in the ballpark I think. I love the look of the 190's and hey it's JBL, they should be able to handle hard rock and electric guitars right? My room is kinda "cold" so I'd rather overdo the bass a bit. The R600 and FS287 seems to have some ridiculous amount of bass with their downfiring bassport. I like that. Give me grunt down low and sparkle at the top. I even consider the more costly JBL HDI-3600, those seems to be some beastly speakers! Thanks for the review, really helpful!

Hey, guys(Andrew, Kristi, and all of you guys here). Do you see value in a 5-speaker surround package? Would you say they have a place in hifi, still? Not the ones that came with an "all-in-one" blu-ray media "hub" like a Samsung home theater package, but the ones that NEED a receiver like Harman Kardon used to make or that brands like Canton still do and so forth

@stevenbullock9276 11 ай бұрын

Opened them up yesterday and played for a couple hours- very impressed. Upon unboxing, you have a choice of rubber feet or spikes- my Sonus Faber Luminas have spikes only. IMHO the plastic outriggers look pretty good and work well. In my room, my ears, my equipment, they sound very balanced in frequency- which is what Andrew's graph showed. I find the highs detailed and engaging, but not "in your face"- the Luminas are more so. Bass is good and more than I expected. I have them out in the room a ways, and closer proximity to the wall would probably help- but not too close. All-in-all, I think these are a great value for the money. I've spent a lot more and gotten less. Quibbles: one speaker came with a scuff on the front, and a couple of speaker grill pins are so tight I didn't dare remove them, for fear of breaking.

Hey man thanks for the extra info. What center channel and surrounds if you used them did you use? I am about to pull the trigger on these a190s and the “matching” 125c as a center and 120’s as surrounds. I wasn’t sure if there would be a blending issue - as so I’ve seen reviews in result of the difference in driver sizes.

@stevenbullock9276 11 ай бұрын

@@ConnorBallin659 Hey Connor. The A190's are the only ones I purchased, but I think you'll be fine with the ones you've listed. The only center I currently have is for the Luminas I mentioned, and that has much smaller drivers than the towers (4", I believe). I was initially concerned about that, but was pleasantly surprised at how well it blended/ performed. Enjoy your purchase!

Supported by an ELAC 8 inch Sub, just picked a 10 inch Monoprice SW-10 150. I hope you could review the stage a170 with your higher gear, believe it has an 89db sensitivity. I feel it will sound more musically accurate. Gets plenty loud in my Lounge (watch you from Nigeria)

Andrew & Kristi 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, this review is one reason why you guys are my favorite audio/video related channel. Andrew presents the product on it's own and instead of bashing it's weakness he relates to real world simple solutions e.g. "adjust the tone control". Other reviewers just give you the black and white, good and not so good without thinking the end users common sense enough to tailor the tone to their liking. Nothing is going to please everyone out the box and they know it but do little to advise simple tweaks. Btw... Which Sony speaker were you comparing to the JBL's or did I miss the model? As for your question: Emotiva T1+ , Monolith Encore T6 & Polk Audio Monitor 70 all for under $800. 👍🏽✊🏽

So a speaker that’s almost perfectly flat in frequency response is too treble forward? I think that says more about modern recording mixing trends imo. I added a preamp with tone controls and it’s the best part of my system. Everything seems to be mastered to sound good on headphones, cellphones, and flat panel TV’s speakers.

Enjoyed the review - thanks for the entertainment. Box, port, metal driver, horn, necessary cheap crossovers and terminals - this waste of raw materials didn't stand a chance. Yet somehow it made sense to someone at JBL - like they said, "Designer, your challenge is to make something we can sell with a combination of all the worst speaker concepts." More often than not when you see smoke there is fire, when you see a box there is cabinet resonance, when you see a port there is chuffing/inaccurate/boomy bass, when you see a round metal driver there is shrill, when you see a horn there is compression. Yet they continue travelling down these dead-end roads.
