I find the speaker quality to be good. Not Bose quality, but plenty good enough for the average listener.

Sound quality is in the ear of the beholder. I think the sound is excellent for the size of of the speakers. Also, you can equalize the sound by choosing other instruments.

Obviously depends on your budget amplifier and taste... Having said that, I prefer the warm tone, my setup is Marantz amplifier with Paradigm monitor 7 floor standing speakers and the setup sounds great. Consider JBL and Infinity on the low end, consider Paradigm, PSB, Wharfedale Diamond or B&W; if you have the budget.

The 6501's were rated best speaker for the money by car audio. Not sure bout the jbl's or how they sound. I'm happy with the 6501. Crystal clear but the mid bass doesn't like a lot of power. Then again, your not spending 400 a pair.

Sounds way better than the big jambox in my opinion. Bluetooth is much worse than the Bluetooth on the jambox though.

The Arctic Speaker's bass is OK but not great. For me, I do like the speaker, it does what I want. I have never listened to the Creative Lab speakers so I wouldn't know how to compare them.

I happen to have both. The Big Jam Box sound is better, especially in the deeper range (i.e. bass), but the cost of this speaker compared to the Big Jam Box makes this the better buy. The sound quality of this is not as loud are as broad of a range, but well worth the price.

The speaker is pretty good. As with all bluetooth technologies if you plug it in directly to your device the sound quality will be hire. I have other speakers at the same price but I like this one the best. The sound quality is good and completely worth the money.

Go with a JBL 10- good deep base, because these speakers have really good highs and ok mids will make up a lot of the base

I currently use a Klipsch speaker sys and not familiar with actual use of Boston or JBL. I know the receiver made a big diff in bringing out the best in mine.

Let me take a look at mine, what type of speakers? I usually connect mine to JBL'S.

I think it's better. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bass thumping speaker. However if you want balanced quality sound for a fair price, this is a good buy.

Undestood. In that case if you have space If I were you I would put the L820 on the surround back and the 810 on the surround left and the surround right, by the way I could change the LC1 for a LC2 (Remmember that the center speaker manage aprox 50% or so of the sound, worth it) and for the subwoofer Cerwin Vega XLS 12S

Louie, these are fine speakers. However the entire ES series has been removed from the JBL line and the new ones in the ES series for sale are the only ones remaining. Some of the remaining new speakers in the ES series are selling for a premium. (Please note that the price listed is for ONE speaker. You need to buy two of them for stereo or to use in a surround system.)If you haven't bought them, now is your last chance. See my answer to Scott W. below for more details.
