Outstanding value
By Gregory E. Smith
Guests who hear the music playing in my living room, immediately start looking for the big floor speakers. I love pointing to these little speakers and telling them "These are what you are listening to!"These speakers have bright highs and a solid bass with real punch! They produce a sound much like large floor speakers without the footprint. I great buy! I highly recommend them.

I took a chance on these JBL E30s based in part on the reviews, then the price, and it paid off!!! As a past "audiophile high end snob" but now retired and on a VERY limited budget--for the money--the JBL E30s really respond to my HK AVR20 II's high-current output with clean definition, fast attack, and a surprisingly deep bass response even without the subwoofer turned on.I thrive on acoustic instrument sound such as the Concert Grand piano solos (via Pro Piano CDs) or with orchestra, guitar solos/duos etc., The Moody Blues LPs, Tomita's electronic transcriptions of the classics, THE MIGHTY WURLITZER theatre organ (George Wright LIVES!), Big Band recordings and the like and want it accurately reproduced when I listen--either SERIOUSLY (in that seated "sweet spot") or as background sound when I'm moving about my digs catching up on my household chores. These speakers do it ALL. They handle the subtle nuances of Debussy or thunderous whomps from The King Of Instruments and sonically dynamic works like Rite Of Spring easily letting me bring out my old LPs--hearing them all over again as "new" adventures on my vintage turntable while I anticipate the arrival of my new Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable (professional grade AR cartridge included!) and all from A'.com at remarkably reasonable prices. This site's a great place to find what you want without going bankrupt.If you're looking for a highly capable and responsive pair of bookshelf speakers, I feel you can't go wrong the the JBL E30s. For the money, they're AWESOME.

By King Lemuel
I recently began upgrading my home audio by buying at Ebay 2 pairs of JBL E20s and 1 Pair E30s, an E25 center speaker and a Harmon Kardon AVR. I got the first pair of e20s a week ago and the 2nd pair of E20s and the E30 yesterday and the remaining stuff should be delivered by the weekend.The E20s and E30s are listed as "Bookshelf Speakers." The E20s ARE bookshelf speakers. As I wrote in my review of the E20s, the E30s can only be thought of as bookshelf speakers if you last name is Kong and your first name is King! The E20s are heavy at 7lbs each, not flimsy little boxes as some cheapo bookshelves are. The E30s are HEAVY. HEAVY! 16 lbs each. (That is what my 7 qt lodge cast iron dutch oven weighs!) They are 15 inches high and 12 inches deep. They need to be placed on small end tables or speaker stands 18 to 24 inches off the floor.I am very pleased with both the E20s and E30s. For small speakers, the E20s have some oomph and can be cranked up. The E30s have OOOMMPHHHH. They WANT to be cranked up. Yesterday I tried them out by listening to my mp3 files of the Animals Singles and Paul Revere and the Raiders Kicks. When cranked up, the E30s sound at least 1000% better than the the E20s. I hooked them up to my vintage JVC AV receiver circa 1989 that has 80 watts front and 20 watts rear power. At a little over half volume my ears began to hurt. You can really feel the bass and the drums kick.I also listened to about 2 hours of The Doors via Rhapsody with the audio out from my computer to the audio in on my receiver. I have been listening to this music since it was first played on the airwaves back in the 60s. The E30s are simply incredible! They brought some very familiar tunes to life and made them new and fresh.My biggest surprise with the E30s is that they sound very good at lower volumes, not as good as the E20s, but still very good. As I write, I am watching/listening to a DVD of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons concertos performed by Herbert Von Karajan, the BPO and Anne-Sophie Mutter on fiddle and am running the E30s and E20s at about 15% volume--pretty low since the 4 speakers are sharing the front 80 watts of my receiver. Yet I can still HEAR everything at low volumes including the resonating violins and the harpsacord. Since we normally do not rock the house down all the time and we do often listen at lower levels, I am very pleased at how good they sound without having to blow out my eardrums.I bought the E30s for under $90 including s/h. Back in the early 80s or late 70s I spent more than four times this amount (adjusted for inflation) for 2 large, heavy Advent Loudspeakers with 8" woofers. The E30s clearly sound better than I ever remember the Advents sounding including better bass response, and I liked the Advents! Over time, our audio choices have gotten better and cheaper. You still can spend mega bucks and buy a $10,000 McIntosh system (or even drop that much on a turntable magnetic cartridge as I saw at one website!) It all depends on what your budget is. The JBLs are a great value offering tremendous perfomance for those who are budget minded.
