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.
