content: The mid and high range frequencies are reproduced with incredable clarity. You will hear the music as heard in the recording studios. That is to say; you will hear every instrument clearly and distinctly, without any distortion or blending. The base is also tight and adequate for anyone living in an apartment or condo. Any more and you may get kicked out. You can also get a great deal since this speaker is discontinued. I bought mine for less than $240 for the pair at amazon's z-shop. These speakers give the same incredable performance when watching DVD's. While BOSE has become popular, these JBL's definately outperforms similarly priced 3 way bose speakers. Remember, 3-ways don't neccesarily sound better than 2-way speakers. The fit, finish and quality of material is unmatched.
