Pros & Cons
Pros
The a180 is the #2 model of jbl's flagship stage speaker series. Branché sur ampli denon avrs750h.
Highlights
Quality
Solid, well built, and handsome matte black composite cabinet with outrigger legs for extra stability.
Sound: incredibly detailed, accurate and clear sound in low-mid-high frequencies, well-maintained over a wide dynamic (soft to loud) range.
Summary: bought as a second room stereo-only "b" speaker set, these a180's put my not-bad polk tsi500 home theatre tower speakers to shame.
For home theatre, would recommend additional centre/side/sub speakers, but only for surround and very low-frequency subsonic effects.
Price
At $450 cdn/speaker, an incredible value, second pair of a180's already ordered.
Very good speakers for the price .
Competitiveness
The a180 is the #2 model of jbl's flagship "stage" speaker series which more than live up to excellent reviews.
