 Best Speakers out there! September 25, 2008
Rehan Saeed (Los Angeles, CA)
I bought L880 from Harmon Kardon and loved the speakers. There are six speakers in all with two 6". Sound was crisp and tight. Then I bought L890 and the sound was even better. More mature, FULL RANGE. I have a heavy duty JBL 12" subwoofer. But with L890, you definitely don't need a separate sub woofer, unless you want to damage your ears. L890 have two 8" speakers. You get a lot of bang for the money and I think it would take thousands, perhaps $4,000 speaker to get a better sound. Unless you go to a specialty/boutique shop and be willing to pay at least 400-600% more you won't find a better sounding speaker.
By the way, I have an old Onkyo Receiver TX-860 (the sound is incredible--have not heard a better sounding receiver yet), and this receiver is so powerful that around 1/2 volume the limits of L890 seems to reach. By the way, at that sound level my ears want to drop off anyway. I have hooked four of these L890 to my system, with two L880 as rear and one L880 as center (much better, full range sound than the Studio Series Center Channel Speaker with 4 speakers/drivers).
Buy these and let your body (vibrations) have the time of your life
:) Good Luck!
What a great Looking Speaker! Sounds awesome! August 20, 2008
Emilio Calderon (Michigan)
Well I finally purchased them after doing some research. Im am very satisfied and got a great speaker for the amount of money spent! Very happy! and they sound great! I recommend to anyone. Do your research and make your decision wisely. Do not get discourage by anyone. To be honest, I coudnt find a decent jbl center channel, so I complimented the L890s with a Klipsh center. Anyways I hear alot about the Klipsh this and that.......Just get yourself a HTS3600 power center and youll make any speaker sound as a high end product! I think the L890 is just as good as any high end speaker out there! Also it has one of the most attractive designs! i love it! remenber! the key is the HTS3600 TRUST ME!!!!!!! it gets the full sound clearity out any speaker!!
 Datavision JBL L890 are refurbish units August 17, 2008
Dennis Brandenburg (Silly-con Valley, CA)
I have just unpacked my newly purchased JBL L890 from Datavision.
Words of warning these units are refurbish units. They are NOT factory new. They are factory refurbished units.
Shipping boxes show lots of wear, missing are factory manuals and the carpet spikes, the fiberglass sound damping mat is loose in one unit. This may be the reason they are not new. Internal box packing had extra packing around the sides. It is only luck they arrived unscratched. The units did not have the usual internal plastic bag around the speakers; this is used to keep moisture out of the speakers.
When your units are delivered be sure to inspect the box closely for damage. Normal procedure is to have the factory box inside a tri-wall shipping box for protection did not happen here.
I honestly do not mind refurbished units as long as I know they are refurbished.
I have not hooked them up yet that will take two more weeks as my entertainment center is being rebuilt.
EDITED August 17, 2008
I contacted Datavision and they did a serial number search and their tracking indicate these are NEW speakers and NOT refurbished. I have no reason to doubt them. They also offered a full refund and to get the missing parts.
The speakers did arrive with damaged boxes and missing internal packing, manuals etc. so it is possible some were in the transport chain from JBL -> Datavision -> to me the damage and missing parts happened. After unpacking and close hand examination the speakers are unscratched.
Moral of this story be at home to receive the speakers and do not sign until you have had close inital inspection. ... sign here ... sorry not until I inspect for damage.
I did hooked the speakers up to an alternate system to test function and they sound very good. So far confirming all the listening reports I have read.
Execellent value for money. And I give Datavision an A+ for quick responce, over a weekend with the Olympics on.
Too damaged to rate July 22, 2008
B. Borawski
The speakers are absolutely beautiful and are built solid. The connectors are heavy duty and gold plated. These speakers weigh a ton!
Unfortunately, I can not tell you how these speakers sound. I only have one of them. Both of the speakers I were sent were damaged (shipped separately). One so severely, that the front panel would not attach and I had to send it back.
It has been 3 weeks, and I still don't have my replacement. Although speakers are available online from an Amazon partner, Amazon won't ship me a replacement until they receive them in stock from their supplier. They also won't take back the other 7 speakers in the set. For someone spending over several thousand dollars on a set of speakers, I would expect better service. I feel very let down by this order.
