I got these speakers for a ridiculously low price; used for . I use them with my home stereo system and they do a great job. They provide very good separation and imaging plus they play loud with little distortion.

The 8" woofer does a good job producing lows while the tweeter handles the high end well.

I believe they may be a little forward at times, but not so much as to be an issue.

At a normal cost of appx $ they are s good rugged speaker.

The JBL Control 28 are considered an indoor/outdoor speaker. So, one hears little of their place in a home audio system.

I was able to purchased these speakers for a great price. I only hoped they would compliment my home audio system. Obviously, I was concerned about their ability to provide audio grade sound given the lack of reviews concerning in home audio systems. As soon as I hooked them up and listened to a few songs I found that concern was unnecessary. These are great sounding speakers.

The imaging was great, as is the soundstage. The bass was surpurb. The midrange was all that I could want. They provided great detail, either at low or high volume. And speaking of volume, you can play these very load without any strain on the drivers.

Given their triangular shape it might seem they would be hard to place on a standard stand, but they sit on my stand without a problem. My stand puts the tweeter a 32" height. Just what I feel is proper for the sound quality given my room settings.

I can't say anything negative about these speaker except they do, at times seem a little forward. But other than that, they are a great addition to my system.

At a low cost, I'd advise anyone looking to improve the sound of their system to give the control 28 a try.

Good speakers,

Bought and used them along with a subwoofer for my home sound system. The sound separation is impressive. The highs sound clear and the bass response is decent. Used with the subwoofer (purchased separately), the overall sound is greatly improved. My only issue is that the input connections are screw terminals (#6/#8/#10 spade lug or bare wire). Would have preferred banana plugs for easy plug and play.
