Sturdy and flexible, great for a center-channel speaker.

I have a fairly large center-channel speaker (Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1)and wanted a solid solution to mount it as close to the TV as possible. The speaker is too bulky to sit on the TV stand beneath and in front of the TV, as it gets in the way of the screen and as it has a glossy finish it also reflects back some of the picture, which is annoying.

I mounted the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Peerless-Shelf/dp/B00155PSXS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Peerless Shelf</a>&nbsp;in the center of my wall directly above my TV, thankfully I had two studs in the correct place as otherwise I would have had to add an external beam and not have been able to achieve a clean look. Once mounted, the adjustable angle of the arms allowed me to position the speaker so it is both tilting down towards the viewers and also looks like it's floating on top of the TV, you can't even see the arms or the wall bracket.

If I was to do this again I would probably mount it an inch or so higher up the wall and then angle the arms downward further (if they extend that far), as ideally I'd like the speaker to point even more directly towards the listening position.

Great bracket, very strong, it could easily hold much more weight.

I picked these up to use with my monitor 30 bookshelf speakers, which are 9 lbs. and about 7"W x 8"D. The size is perfect, however I do wish the top plate was just a little larger considering the size of my speakers, but it's not that a big deal.  They sit fine and as long as they're not in a bad location, you shouldn't have to worry about them getting knocked over.  The base is plenty big and sturdy to stay upright.  Assembly was easy, everything fit together perfectly.  The back piece to hide your speaker cable may give some people problems but really, it's not hard at all.  Just insert one side first and then fold the top corner over into the other side and work your way down. My only issue is that the height was acutally a little less than the advertised 30".  More like 28 1/2 - 29 which was ok with me, but if I had smaller speakers, like satellites, I'd probably want the 36" high stands.

My wife bought me these as an early Christmas gift. Initially, I was looking at similarly priced Polk Audio RTI A3 Bookshelf Speakers, but I got the sense that Polks were too "bright, clean, and loud". This is not necessarily bad, but I don't want speakers to color my music so much. Ultimately, I opted to pair English designed speakers with my English designed amp. So far, they're sounding very warm and balanced. The boom is in the bass and the high notes are clear with plenty of spaciousness. I use these primarily for vinyl but have tested out CDs and MP3 of Big Band, Afro-Cuban, and Rock. The 3 formats vary greatly so be patient if the sound isn't as perfect as you expect - some sources are poorly produced and these Wharfedales will show the flaws. The iPod sounds the worst, by the way. I do not stream or do the home theatre thing so I can't comment on that, but you can certainly add a subwoofer to the mix if needed.

It seems the speakers like to be in the open, so I have them in a 12' x 14' room with 3 feet from any wall. Once you get you the listening "sweet spot" in their placement, you will enjoy lots of detail and depth at moderate volume. They also perform well at higher volumes, although I have not really blasted them full tilt. Having them at high volumes seems to indicate that they're not made for that anyway.

Overall: I think they're great - especially at the discounted price. If I ever win the lottery, I would have a set of floor standing Wharfedale Airedales and big fat McIntosh amps, but these speakers fit the space, are easy to move around, and maintain a low profile in the living room.

Equipment:
Cambridge Audio Azur 651A Integrated amp @ 75 watts per channel
25 foot Blue Jeans Cable custom cut 12 AWG with compression banana plugs
Sand-filled API Steel stands

I was expecting something cheaper because of the price I paid, but this is a really nice cable. It's sturdy, but flexible, and it's gold-plated for optimum sound.

Stands are well made, sturdy and look good. I was able to mount my Klipsch 500 surround sound speakers with ease. Minor issue were some left over burrs in the speaker wire holes. Had to remove burrs with a screwdriver to let my RCA 14 gauge wire pass through.
The stands are stable over carpet, and do not tip over easily.
Very happy overall with my purchase, and recommend them highly.

I've been looking at center channel speakers for about 6 months before I purchased this one. I have a pair of Bose 301s wall mounted as my fronts, a Logitech 8"sub, and a Bose Accoustimass 5 system for my rear. Now when I watched movies in 5.1 they sounded great, but I felt I had to turn it up too loud just to get the dialog to not feel so far away from me. I needed a center speaker. I was so set on getting a Polk Audio CS1 for $99. The Bose center was nice looking but it was in a much too high a price range. I wanted to spend at the max $100. But after shopping and seeing this speaker I started having second thoughts. It had a sturdy construction, had nice drivers, was a good brand and was only $55. I decided to purchase it because of its size and price without loss of product quality.

When I took it out of the box I was impressed with how well it was put together for the most part. Its build quality rivaled my Bose, better in some areas actually. Its cabinet is very well put together and uses a very sturdy solid wood. The only bad thing about its build quality basically was its grill was cheap and the JBL logo under the grill on the speaker could be rotated slightly. All negligible negative attributes in my opinion. The front of the speaker is a solid plastic which also doesn't really make a difference, its sturdy still and doesn't feel cheap at all. It is a heavy speaker.

Now the speaker totally improved my home theater sound. It has very crisp highs, probably the best out of all my speakers due to its nice tweeter. Voices were much more well defined than before and I did not have to turn up the volume as much during movies. I'm glad I paid what I did for it because the speaker only did just that for me, improved my movies sound. It didn't improve my music sound any or fill my room with sound more, my other speakers had that down. I bought it for its purpose though and it serves it well.

I still feel like I need to turn up the volume too much during movies, but that is just because of my front speakers placement. I will fix that later someday.

So do yourself a favor and don't spend a ton of money on a center, this one is great and its so cheap. It does its job very well, highly recommended.
Good sound, highs, mids, imaging, build, and size. JBL your awesome.

The sound quality is good to be so inexpensive. These replaced a pair of twenty year old large, heavy,  box speakers. I was able to install them easily onto the wall. I only have one complaint and it could be a deal breaker for some. The included brackets for installation provide very little flexibility for directional adjustment. Otherwise they were just right for what I needed.

I ordered this product to support my new bookshelf speakers. Each speaker weighs 12 lbs and these brackets can easily support their weight.  (1) one of the adjustment screws for the side clamps was cross-threaded so that I could not easily unscrew the clamp. I solved this by using a heavy duty Philips screwdriver to remove it and cleaned the screw threads. I then heavily lubricated the screw with light oil and screwed it back in with no problem. (2) The supplied screws are large enough to hold the bracket but you must pilot drill to confirm that these will tread into your wall stud. And a drill helps to drive them in initially and finish with a hand screwdriver. (3) The kit includes small self-tapping screws to secure the speaker to the plate. However, I did not want to do this so I used an idea from another reviewer who recommended using "blue-tac" to stick the speaker to the plate in addition to the front clamps.

I can recommend this product for home wall mounting of small bookshelf speakers.

Solid 4-stars. I've used a few speakers in the sub 30 range and I would say the audio is slightly above average. I wish it pushed a bit more bass. The treble is clear and volume is loud enough. It's better than my laptop speakers, and that's why I bought it.

The build quality seems solid. It's water resistant so it should survive a splash or two but I wouldn't dunk it.

Would I buy it again? Idunno honestly. I keep buying these cheap speakers then giving them away to friends. I haven't found one that particularly stands out as excellent. I like the way this one looks and the sound is reasonable (if you don't care so much about bass) so I'll keep it until I find another one that looks good to try.

Solid and sturdy, I used with a pair of Samsungs S8000 rear speakers and the attachement and screws provided worked great! Excellent buy for the right price!

Great solution for mounting bookshelf speakers out of the way, with the flexibility to direct the sound where it needs to be.

Btw, I could do pull ups off these things!

Pretty darn good center speaker.  It handles a wide range of audio, and has less of that mid-range soundscape that is so common among center speakers.  It has held up well to pretty high wattage too.

Very versatile, full-sounding speakers for the cost.  I use them indoors and have installed them in 5 fitness studios.  Minor issue is that the grilles have fallen off of a few of them, but it's an easy fix with a little adhesive.

Somehow I ended up with a similar speaker stand a couple of decades ago that I never used (I usually provide audio support where there is no place for a visible speaker); but only one(?).  When we had to 'gear up' for a local school talent show, my budget was 'in a bad season', so I braced myself for a cheaply-made speaker stand when I selected this based mostly on price. But, it's a pretty sturdy model, and looks to be better than my old one (that I'm sure I paid about $50 for).  Not recommended for 200-pound monsters; but worked great for my pair of daisy-chainable Kustom PW-50's (which, BTW, I love but make sure you're getting the newer model with the built-in 'subwoofer out' with crossover!).

I bought this center channel for a budget home theater set-up. I am currently running a 3.0 system right now, with a center, left, and right. I will eventually fill it out to a full 5.1 surround set-up.

The main reason I wanted a center channel was to be able to more clearly hear the dialogue during tv and movies. In this purpose the Fluance AVSC has worked perfectly. It is marked as 8 ohms.

I am no audiophile. I can say it sounds good to me!

Speaker looks good. The cabinet finish is nice. It came triple boxed and surrounded in foam.

I am very happy with the purchase.

Bought these to raise a pair of JBL S38 bookshelf speakers off the floor a bit.  These speakers were intended to sit in the horizontal orientation, so most speaker stands are not appropriate for them.  The ISO-L8430 stands only raise the speakers off the floor 4-5 inches, with a slight tilt upward, but they have dramatically improved the sound.  Most notably, the low end is no longer muddy, a problem I had with the speakers directly on the floor and placed on halves of racquetballs.  They seem strong enough for much larger speakers or cabinets, but the footprint perfectly matches the S38.

Great center channel.  I did not check the size.  It is hefty but a great speaker/.
