Strength:

Oh my my my... The cymbals crash, the bass thumps, it's spacial sound when set correctly is like being center stage at an opera or just believe you are the conductor of a huge symphony orchestra. You won't be let down by these midsized bookshelf speakers.

Weakness:

Weaknesses? They are discontinued in production by the manufacturer.

Strength:

These handle power well

Weakness:

These are literally the brightest speakers I’ve ever had. I have some Klipsch speakers that I thought were bright, but these sound like those with the 16khz eq slider all the way up. Anyone who enjoys these speakers has got to have serious hearing loss.

Strength:

With upgraded tweeter jbl c5002 about $90 each they are some great bookshelf speakers especially for analog recorded music. I did miss a bit of the midrange at first when transitioning from my mb quart q1002 towers to these but I quickly got a smile on my face when a track with good soundstage imaging played. Well built boxes. Overall if you can upgrade the tweeters they will impress you

Weakness:

Blew original tweeters.But did the upgrade to the jbl c5002 titanium tweeters. Takes some level of craftsmanship to perform the swap. With the upgraded tweeters they sound really smooth.

Bought a pr of jbl hls 810's off ebay for 160$ out of the box not bad,left tweeter blow first time I gave any kind of power,I have all parasound seperates class a preamp class a/ab 125 wpc amp pretty good stuff used with many high end speakers including maggie mmgs with no problems I recommend,replacing the tweeters with jbl c5002 1 inch titanium pro tweeters,don't waste your money on stock tweeters they are junk! for 80$ a pair from orange county speakers,I by chance have a pr of pro lll monitors that have these tweeters in them there, impedence and sensitivity are about the same which means the stock crossover will work, you must pull the horns and hack saw right behind the tweeter plate,you will end up with a square hole in the horn about just less 1.5 inches file this square so it looks nice the I used plastic auto emblem adhesive plastic to metal glue, place tweeters face up on a table with glue on horns,carefully place horns on tweeters carefully center them let dry,then reconnect to speaker yellow wire is + you do this this,these speakers will come to life with gushing detail and excellent imaging power handling no problem! this easy mod turns this speaker into a world class monitor! I use mine with two dayton subs no more tweeter issues for the hls the stock tweeter is a 99 cent piece of junk, these speakers are great because they use very minimal crossover parts less is better! and horn loading the tweeter makes it even better the c5002 titanium tweeter is the missing link try it,you will not believe how good they sound. HEAR WHAT YOU VE BEEN MISSING!

Strength:

Sound quality vs size. Looks.

Weakness:

No longer made.

I''m very impressed with these speakers. They are, in my opinion, the best sounding speakers in their size range and I''ve owned Infinity''s, other JBL''s, Paradigm, and Cambridge Soundworks. Though they are smaller in size the bass is deeper and richer, the high''s are crisp and do not hurt my ears which is surprising for polycarbonate tweeters. I got a great deal on them direct from JBL and will keep them for life. I recommend them highly to anyone considering a pair.

I''ve had these speakers since 1999, and have used them with two different recievers(Pioneer556, Harman Kardon AVR-510) sound good with both, good bass for a smaller speaker, good highs for what I use them for(mostly movies). Used with jbl sub, jbl center, and yamaha surrounds.

Strength:

Great clarity and imaging for the price.

Weakness:

Does not have the bass for stand alone without subwoofer, not like my 1981 JBL 150's. What do you expect for $200 / pr!

Fantastic speakers for the price! I have bought the 610's a couple a months ago and recently added the 810's. I believe the 810's have an edge in bass and imaging, anyone else agree? I just bought the hls center today, expect to get the surround thing going within 2 weeks. I have had an audio sabbatical for 10 years and am getting back into it.

I'm glad that i do not have to endure any agonizing over the snobbery of entertaining buying spaeakers like PSB, mirage etc., these JBLS's kick ass, particularly for the price! With the money I saved buying i just ordered a yamaha rv-1105 to replace my 10 year old jvc. System should improve considerably with this addition along with monster cable sub cable.

Strength:

Smooth Highs nice bass

Weakness:

possibly midrange

For the price it is excellant. I was originaly going to go with the new Studio Series by JBL And they are unbelivable, but at best buy they were closing these out for $100 a pair and the HLS 610 for either $70 or $80 a pair. I bought 2 pair of these. Although they do not compare to the new Jbl Studio series they are tremendous for the price. I will get the HLS center and A JBL 10" or 12" subwoofer. Fully recomeneded for the casual listner.
