    Purchased a pair of JBL L82 Classic bookshelf speakers to replace my JBL L220s that I sold recently. It would not be fair to compare the 82s with the 220s since the 220s are a totally different kind of speaker with a 14" woofer and a 15" passive radiator in each cabinet. But with a subwoofer along with the 82s the sound is surprisingly comparable. The sound of the 82s is well-defined for listening at moderate sound levels. I prefer taking the grille covers off....treble is crisper and more defined. The sound of these speakers is on the "warm" side which I prefer. The tweeter level control is a plus. You are not going to get the impression of a "wall of sound" like the larger L220s. After all, these only have an 8" woofer and are classed as bookshelf. But for a smaller room at moderate listening levels these are nice speakers. If you like heavier bass as I do, a subwoofer would be recommended. The separate JBL stands are a good addition and enhance the sound. I like them!

    Seriously overpriced for the sound

    I have a KEF surround sound setup. I bought these for my main master so i could listen to mostly music. I also have the KEF R3. I compared the JBL's to the KEFs and they don't even come close. The sound is now clean and neither us the base. I was tempted by the nostalgia but these are astoundingly over priced for the quality of sound they offer. Returned them and kept my KEF R3s.

    Very happy with these speakers. Sound quality is superb. The speaker stands are almost needed and make a huge difference.

    I don't know how anybody could give these a poor review. Perfect fit for my small room. These are a great match for my Ayon tube gear and Black Ice DSD DAC. Bass is outstanding, The sound stage is remarkable.
