Solid

When I jam out I crank it up to about 68 dB so far and yet to have any distortion I listen to metal clean sound amazing highs although I wish they had just a tab bit more low end punch im truly satisfied with the arena 170

Better than expected ....

They were on sale for $79.95 each and free shipping ...so how could I go wrong? I did not expect much for such inexpensive speakers, but I was totally surprised after I hooked them up to my 90W Yamaha receiver and cranked it up...perfect highs and solid bass...wow and dynamic range is really good . Be patient, wait for a good price... and then strike.

Excellent Valu

I purchased the Arena 170 a month ago and I will spare everyone the "I can now hear things I never heard before..." review. I am by no means an audiophile in the sense that my ears are trained for critical review. Yet when I heard these and I have been playing my music constantly, I received genuine goosebumps. I purchased these for the price thinking if they weren't any good I could return them. I'm keeping these because they look sharp in my living room, sound great and they make me happy. Excellent value and I wholeheartedly recommend.

Good speakers at a great price

We made the purchase when these Area 170 speakers were on a steep sale and felt it was a very good decision. The set up was very simple (either direct wire or use some banana plugs and the aesthetics are impressive. Because the black ones were out of stock, we went ahead and bought the white ones. Boy, are they clean looking! The sound is adequate because we don't have an integrated sub, and that will be added at a later time. Overall, for the price we paid ($80/ea), these can't be beaten!

Made In China

They sound good ... and I hope they will last ...ask me 5 years from now. Would gladly have spent more for them to have been "Made in USA" JBL speakers like it used to be.

Solid Speaker with full sound great for the price.

Recently purchased for a large living room for AV. Its the prime speaker system in a 5:1 configuration. Musically accurate and efficient. Like the solid construction and looks.

Great for small and medium rooms.

I bought two Arena 170 speakers for my room. They're good for small and medium size rooms. The sound quality is a great quality. These are perfect for entery level speakers especially if they're going to be the first floor standing speakers you purchase.
