The stereo image is good? Very good
The sound is clear and precise on the whole spectrum? Yes
The dynamics are respected? ... Yes, with a powerful amp (2 x 80 / 8 ohms) or dynamic
OVERALL OPINION
For how long have you been using it?
Years. I come to buy at a low price (95 € and can be found for less). The former were secondhand (75 € with the suspension redone).
What thing do you like most/least about it?
The sound really balanced especially when he added a box (i Focal Cub 2 in my case). It is discreet, robust, even original. These speakers are in the catalog for 22 years and I loved them at our first meeting!
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes, up to 1000 € (amplified anyway). With a good subwoofer and amp, they excel in local plays.
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
At the moment, sublime, since we find it less than 100 €.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I just do it again ... the problem is, as reported by the member who has already given its opinion, the short duration (relative) membranes. Note that this is often the case with JBL or even ultra-pro models have the suspension boiled at 15.
In this regard, the fact of using a subwoofer with small household seriously HP ... Also found on ebay repair kits quite cheap (7.50 € + FDP from the U.S.). I will be more forgiving, although I understand that those who have bought this model (used in 1987 around 2000 francs) to be frustrated. Ten years after all, not bad ...
Their performance is average and cashing them well enough power, but be careful not to send 100 watts continuous too often. In a small room, I listened to both with an old Technics of 40 W as a Onkyo A 9511 which is double. For the moment they take ... but as I said earlier I just bought a new pair, in anticipation of the day or let me go first ...
I listen to mostly jazz, classical and it is one of the few inexpensive small speakers that give me real satisfaction in the medium, natural ventilation. With them, the music flows ... but the untimely death of my first subwoofer amp (JBL amp SB 1 and PS 100) has made me come back to earth, the box is really necessary ...
Note that this product has existed with various names (One, 1, 1 Pro, 1 X). They are all identical in my opinion. In any case after removal, I see no difference between my and Pro One. But, well, hard to say, I was not until an autopsy on HP! At one point, however, the filters were changed, in my opinion the only change a little noticeable ...
