Fantastic outdoor speakers for a large area.
These speakers are so impressive, I just love them. The 10" woofer is excellent at bass. Best 10 I have heard. They go so loud it is almost funny, we are in real private place so not a problem for us. Sound good and controlled at all volumes. I am driving them with a Sonos amp. 250 watts a channel into 4 ohms. The mount works very well. Build is at a very high level. On the negative side, they are BIG, I was shocked "oh my what have I done" but once installed not a problem. I did not need the 8 pound transformer in each one so I removed to make a bit lighter. (find on internet) On certain pieces of music I can hear a bit of "color" from the cabinet but it is not a big deal or problem. Just be sure you have space for these and a big area to fill sound with, also need good power I would say 250 watts minimum. I am happy with the Sonos as it allows me to control volume with my phone. Do not try to run these speakers off your receivers "B" Speaker, it does not have enough power. I tried.

NOT BlueTooth
Prime lists these speakers as BlueTooth-enabled; they are not. They're hardwire, and a pair require at least a 120 watt amp to push these 8-ohm jewels (eg, JBL VMA 1120) in sequence or parallel. That explained, they sound exquisite in a 30 x 40 outdoor space w enough loud (top - 90 dB), and pair with a TV w the right app.

Defective out of the box
One sounds good, but the second one is all distorted and does not function properly and Amazon refuses to replace it. I do not recommend purchasing through Amazon. This is a lot of money to spend on a defective speaker.

Impressive and any volume
I've had these installed for about two weeks now and so far I'm really impressed. As other reviewer have said these speakers pack a punch at high volume. Unlike a lot of outdoor speaker they remain crystal clear and have fantastic low end for such a small cabinet, but what has really impressed me is how good they sound as the volume is lowered. I've found with a lot of outdoor speakers I've tried that they start to sound muffled at lower background listening levels but not these they remain nice and clear even when barely audible. I've also been pleasantly surprised at how even they sound over a really wide radius. No matter what volume you intend to use these at if you want an outdoor speaker with great sound and a wide listening range you've found them!

Awesome sound and very loud
I’ve gone through several sets of outdoor speakers to get volume and clarity. Top of the line PSB, Revel, and even doubling up speakers to add a few more DB. The JBLs are much louder with very strong tight bass response. They can get a bit shrill at highest volume but at that volume your ears will experience pain if within 30ft if the speakers. Very good sound otherwise. I had to drive these with an EMOTIVA DR2 amp @800 watts per channel to get the strong bass response. I was driving them with a Parasound Halo a21 but more power was needed. The DR2 is fantastic btw.

すぐに届きました。音も指向性があって透明な感じの音で雑音や量感もあり素晴らしいスピーカーです。インピーダンスマッチングトランスが付属でワット数切り替えでき放送マイク出力にうってつけでハウリングも少ないので大満足です。
