    • Great for small rooms
I bought this on sale and I'm glad I did. I have a small room so this fits for better sound since the jbl has 4-inch drivers. I have a polk t series surround speaker set, but I also have a pair of older but good infinity primus 150 bookshelf speakers sitting on top of the polk towers, polk t15 surrounds and polk subwoofer hooked up with this center speaker. The front soundstage is spot on. This jbl 520 cbk sounds better than the polk t30 center by far. I'm hearing sounds I've never heard before. And it sounds clear and audible at a low volume, a very desirable feature. I'm powering all of my speakers with a yamaha htr 5840 6.1 natural sound A/V receiver. I think It pushes 65 watts per channel but will be adding an amplifier or equalizer later just because I'd like to play with the sounds and I'd like to fine tune it better than just bass and treble. This center is not for wall mounting but I didn't need to. I have it directly below the TV on a stand at ear level with about 3 feet clearance behind it and it sounds great. The highs are greatly improved over the polk t30 center and the mids are improved too especially dialog, and the bass is sufficient, tight and extended. I'm happy with the sounds coming from this jbl center speaker. ... show more

    • This Center Channel matches my L80t Front Speakers perfectly. Lifelike Staging.
I have had tested over 60 center channel speakers. All brands. The biggest issue was listening positions. 30° off axis you can hear the difference between the mid and high drivers. The JBL Studio 520 CBK has full audio Spectrum no matter where you sit. Was hoping it would timbre match with my L80t vintage Front Speakers. Amazing lifelike Realism Bravo JBL!

    • Try matching this amazing center channel withe Studio 590...WOW!
Without a doubt, the JBL Studio 590 is the finest speaker I have ever heard in my own home... or anyone's home for that matter. The horns reproduction of sound is so accurate and lifelike that I am amazed every time I fire them up. I purchased the JBL 520CBK center channel a week later- not only does my vinyl and CD's live and breath but my surround is incredible also!! If you are in the market for a pair of floor standing speakers- look no further! ... show more

    • Great speaker for the price!
I bought this speaker to replace a Sony SSCS8 center channel speaker. Nice speaker but a weak link in my 5.1 system. The fronts are JBL L100t's, a very large awesome sounding speaker. The problem, finding a speaker that could keep up with these monsters that didn't break the bank at $2-3k. The folks at JBL recommended the Studio 520. I was skeptical but they were right. The Studio 520 is an excellent fit. The sound is great, The compression horn has that crisp sound you hear in live music. The horn is a perfect compliment to the 1" Titanium tweeters in the fronts. I compared this with the Klipcsh RP-250C. A good speaker, bold and bright, but when listening to piano or complex string music it was muddled. Whereas the JBL 520 was very clear and defined even with the most challenging music. As for TV surround, again it sounds great. In sum the 520 is great for the price. I would recommend this speaker! ... show more

    • Clarity
This center is insanely clear. Even mismated with different left and right channels, the dialogue is crystal clear in my 3.0 setup. I set this center to “small” on my AVR with the crossover set to 80 Hz, and it made it even better, since their wasn’t as much low bass to muddy up the dialogue. Let your left, right, and subwoofer handle the bass, and this center has a lot of headroom. ... show more

    • Great sounding speaker, JBL has kept up their qualtiy!
It's a bad ass speaker!! Great compliment to the JBL LSR-308'S. Fast shipping and I'll I have to say is make sure you clear out some space. It's a big speaker. Mid level ranges are perfect.. Great sound and JBL Keeps up with the changing times. It's a must have if your into the JBL family
