It did. Much better after the system improvements.

They are brilliant for surround use, especially Atmos use. They were the industry standard monitoer speaker for years so they are well suited to a variety of applications. They have a very balanced yet big sound from a small, attractive enclosure.

What subwoofer are you using

how do you like the set up? is it loud enough? and you have 8 speakers total? plaese let me know.

@@roel5505 It's great and output is good. total 8 speakers but installed 5 which is more the engugh

It was the JBL Control SB5, have since but it on the bigger setup with the Control 5s on the wall.

yes

I don't have that system anymore unfortunately.

Is that so. I've used the same models for PA use with Cloud power amplifiers and for personal use with those Sony amplifiers. It sports roughly 100 watts per channel. In a room of that size, it's more than enough power. I don't understand how you can be the judge of what's powerful enough for it and what isn't when you've never heard it in person.

@@installedsound906 because your smallest speakers are 150 watts each. I have the control 1 pros and they need a powerful amp to get the best out of them. Your bigger jbls need even more.
