Budgeted audiophile Jul 23, 2009
I have known JBL for 3 decades as a speaker company who's speakers can take at lot of power and sound really good. I bought without hereing them, as other reviewres have stated Im glad I did. The speakers I listen to in college that played rock very loud and clear have not changed in all these years.
The engineering is assume. The front is curved at the top and the front is wider than the rear. The speaker is ported in the back for a low range of 40dbl. This is a 3 way bookshelf speaker that is large for todays speakers but small and narrow for bookself speakers of the seventies.
I mounted them on 17" metal speaker stands for a strong visual presents and to get the tweeter to ear level when I am seated. I was delight to see that these speaker can be biamped. In short, there are two sets of terminals(gold) on each speaker. From the back of your amp use your A speaker conection to power the tweeter & midrange. Use the B terminals to power the woofer. This does away with the speakers internal cross over. The tweeter & mid range pick up the frequencies they use from the A trminals and the wooker picks the frquencies from the B terminals. Remember to take the gold attachment off the speakers terminals before you biamp. You can ruin a channel on your amp by doing so.
The sound in assume. The ES30's are rated at 125 watts max./channel. My new receiver is rated at 100 watts/channel.This makes them loud.
Before I bought my speakers I already had a powered sub woofer made by Yamaha. This sub woofer(10" & 200 watts) produces sound from 40 dbl down to 140 dbl. This is deep warm base. So if you bi amp and have a sub woofer you will need a receiver with a separate out to the sub woofer.
If you are interested in a musical 2 channel receiver I purchased a Yamaha RX797 which I wrote a review for.
I am in my mid fifties, I have put togther two other systems since December 1980. In my home I've always had really good quality sound. I thought a integrated amp with floors speakers was a good bench mark. The invention of the self powered sub woofer is wonderfull for really great base > pressing the bench mark forward. With the JBL ES30's and a sub woofer you hear all the music. Play it a bit loud and it is still very clear not distorted.
My last comment is >A sub woofer should be heavy , very heavy, this makes warm base not punchy base.
Enjoy
Incredible clear sound Jun 27, 2009
I bought these for a Yamaha DRX730 and I am really impressed of the perform of these speakers, I just can not believe how clear is the sound and the frecuence response is awesome, I can imagine how these would work with aditional channels and a subwoofer...

 Excellent surround speakers Feb 15, 2009
I use these as rear channels in a 7.1 setup. They perform very well with the rest of my speakers which are JBL Studio L Series. They have excellent high-frequency responce and fantastic stereo imaging. The low-end is lacking, but I wouldn't expect much of 5.25in. woofers. These would be okay for a small bookshelf system, and they make excellent surround speakers.

AWESOME! Dec 23, 2008
Read up on these speakers before I bought and went out on a limb buying them without listening to them. I am glad I did. I matched these with my new Yamaha RX1800 along with the center channel and sub my house rattles. HEHE I love them very clear sounding and has lots of room for loudness. I barely get the volume 1/4th of the way turned up and it is already plenty loud. I would say get these speakers they will Rock your face off!

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
