Summary: The Year of the Double Christmas
Review: I know I can't talk too much about religion here, but I'm gonna. I'm a Buddhist/Hindu, but I don't attend any worshipping. I grew up a Christian, so that's why I get the occasional Christmas present. Alright, last year at Christmas, I received two of these amazing speakers, and a CD from one of my favorite bands (Fear Factory). It just so happens that Fear Factory are a very brutally heavy electro-metal band, and this was a remix CD, so every track rocked extra hard. I live in a condo, so everyone else around me was just getting up. I plugged these in and whacked "Fear is the Mindkiller" on at top volume. In an instant, people were at my door complaining. I told them I'd turn it down, and I did. One notch. I played it the whole day long. My other five presents were opened the next day. One of them was another Fear Factory CD. Anytime you want to annoy your neighbors or are missing a concert in a neighboring city (that doesn't happen to me because I live in L.A.) pop something on with these speakers. I've been in many recording studios, and these speakers surpass even some of their sound by a lot. The bass is also amazing, only without too much thumping. They look pretty swanky, too.

Summary: Studio speakers for Home Theater too.
Review: I purchased these speakers along with the Studio Series Center channel speaker for my home system. I was looking for a speaker that would sound great when I was listening to music but wouldn't lack in performance when used in a home theater setting. These speakers have handled everything from Heavy Metal to Classical & from Life is Beautiful to Armaggedon and I couldn't be happier with them. If you are looking for a speaker that can handle these types of applications then look no further. Of course you could always go and spend more on speakers but at this price point there is no equal in my mind.

Summary: Wow, what a product!
Review: The design is very home (or professional) theater oriented. The sound is SOOOO GOOD! I mean these guys actually make the speaker systems you go to the movies to hear movies from.The S310s equal outstanding imaging, dynamics, and good looks. They actually look better in person than they do in the picture above and they look great in that picture! You could spend MUCH more - but why? These speakers have great bass (but never sound boomy). I bought 5 of them so I could have equal sound in my DD 5.1 / DTS home theater setup. It really has made a difference, as there is much (directional) bass and midrange coming from behind and especially from the all-important center. CD's sound great (never harsh - just wide-open and free). Use with or sans grills they look cool either way. I've loved (and bought into) JBL's cool approach to speaker design since the 60's. They went through a couple of decades of so-so home systems. However, JBL is back in action with these speakers and they are the BEST I've ever owned. I guess I like 'em - huh? BTW, The XBOX rocks through these gems!
