Jbl Es Series Speakers - Blu-ray Forum

MADNOD · 01-02-2009, 05:41 AM

Hi all,
any body has a HT sound based on JBL ES series (ES towers +ES25c+ES surrounds).
how are they ranked compared to other brands like POLK, Sony or Klipsh?
their recommended power ratings lseem low compared to other brands, is this relevant or it's just that JBL are more truthful about their power rating (they mention recommended, dynamic and peak rating)
thanks in advance

I have an ES250P sub that is fairly new in the last two months and I love it. It compliment my Northridge E60 towers and center very nicely. I don't know what it is around this forum but JBL seems to not have any fans. The brand doesn't get knocked that I've read, but folks are more into Polk, Klipsch, etc.., I blast my setup @ high volume and they've done nothing but ask for more. (Onkyo 605 is my receiver).
FTR, I have nothing but JBL, the 4 rears in my 7.1 are the SP6II in-wall speaker.

thanks for your feedback, actually i was asking in an another thread about the ES250P SUB, to which subs did u compare it prior to buying it?
JBL are statying as well that its responce starts at 25HZ do u feel like missing some low frequencies due to this?
thanks alot.

I love the ES250P, plenty of power and I don't find 25hz to be any kind of limiting factor. I didn't compare this to any other sub, I'm brand loyal to JBL and further I keep all the same brand names in my speaker line-up for acoustic reasons. You could say that I did a "blind purchase" on the sub, based on the JBK name and the specs.
