 Box Office in my living room! Feb 11, 2008
By P. Robinson
Let me start by saying that I couldn't be happier with these speakers. I did my homework when it was time to take my 6 year old HK SAT-TS2 5.1 system off the wall and make the next step toward turning my living room into a true cinema. Although I have the 6.1 capable Sony receiver and Blueray player (AKA PS3), I decided to stick with a 5.1 system due to the size limitation of my living room (13x16). My room was already wired, but the system does come with speaker wires and subwoofer cable. Another bonus are the two sets of speaker brackets. This system includes fixed (uni-directional swivel) and pivoting brackets for all the speakers. I also liked the departure from the spring clip connectors. These speakers have quality screw terminals that can handle a 10 gauge wire. The only issue I discovered was that the fixed bracket for the center speaker may create a short between the speaker wire terminals. A little electrical tape solved the problem and I was finally off to the races. HD TV, Dolby Digital 5.1 movies, and PS3 games have been raised to a new level with this system. Zero buyer's remorse!

great speakers Dec 31, 2007
By J. Lindal
"movie critic"
We just have this system set up, paired with Denon AVR 787 receiver and Monster cables. Not sure how much cable adds to it, but definitely a good receiver is a must for this speaker system to playback perfectly. The sound is pheonomonal. The sound is deep and rich, with layers and details. It is not overtaking the movie if the movie is not loaded with sound effects. We have tested with Movies: Shrek, Chicago, Matrix, Nemo. Each one of them is played very nicely. It is definitely cinema quality sound, much better than the bose 5.1 system I listened to in the store. It also enhances your movie experience by so much that you feel like watching a new movie discovering scenes you never discovered before. For example, I never noticed the water was so clear in Nemo, now I feel it, all because the vast calm water sound of the ocean.
Excellent! I would recommend this system to anyone!
p.s. To listen to music, make sure to connect with a CD player (not a DVD player), and use 5 channel stereo, otherwise, the sound will not come out right.

JBL CS480BG Dec 29, 2007
By David M. Lutz
"normal guy"
I was looking for a set of surround speakers that were both small but also gave punchy, crisp sound. After a good deal of searching, I decided that the JBL CS480 speakers were the best deal. Set-up was easy, with both cables and brackets provided (you'll need to have screws if you're planning on screwing the brackets into a wall).
First of all, the sound is great. I hooked them up to an Optimus professional series reciever. I have no complaints. I've been trying them out on different movies and music and everything sounds good. Secondly, the brackets to hang them on a wall are very good-easy to set up, and they look good too (the speakers and the brackets). The sub is powerful; I haven't turned it up past 3/4ths but that is more than enough.
I would recommend these speakers for someone whose room is not very large--they are relatively small and unobtrusive and blend in well with the room. The sub also looks nice. Good purchase.

 awsome sound Feb 13, 2009
By Melissa Reed
"audioholic"
I hooked these speakers up to a pioneer vx812 receiver and at first I thought i was listening to a clock radio. They sounded horrible!! But then i realized that i had to recalibrate everything and had not hooked up the subwoofer correctly. Once I dialed everything in and set up the sub correctly, I couldnt believe my ears. I paid $239 for these on ebay! The first thing i did was put in the Italian Job and watched some action scenes. It sounded so good that I didnt want to turn the system off. The imaging is so good that this weekend I am going through all of my old dvds just to listen to these great speakers. The only complain I have is the cheesy plastic grills, but other than that, they are extremely well made. Best $239 dollars ever spent!

Great 5.1 system, excellent price Jan 09, 2009
By JH
"flyinglow"
I purchased this speaker system for my new media room. For the setup, I have a Denon AVR-3808CI, a Samsung LN52A750, Sony upsample DVD, XBox360 and a home built media server.
The speakers perform very well, they look good and sound excellent. I am sure that if you are a real audio nut, then you could justify spending more, but for the money this is a great system.
My one complaint is the mounting brackets. The instructions say not to ceiling mount the speakers. I hard-wired audio wire drops on the ceiling I decided to use the provided brackets to ceiling mount. I suspect that the reason they say not to ceiling mount is looks, not function or security of the speaker. So far no problems, some might find it annoying to see the brackets, but I really don't care.
