These speakers sound great, the 6" midrange puts out very clean sound, the tweeter is very crisp and clean, and they actually put out very nice bass.

I cannot think of any.

Great sounding speakers. Highs sound great and the lows are right there with them. I've been using and abusing these in my glass blowing studio for awhile and they are durable and clear! Pick them up for 30$ and I'm very satisfied.

None. These things are bullet proof!

Great sound! I am using only the two N26's with an old technics amp at 80w and the sound is very clean. Bass is actually very good in my opinion, I am a bit of a bass head and these have left me with no desire to add a sub. If anything, I'd add a center channel. Treble is good, mids are definitely this speaker's strong point. Room filling sound, look cool with covers off.

They're quite large, but do have a nice little stand on the bottom so can be placed on a table or floor and used as a handle for transport, not very heavy

Solid across frequency range.

These mamas are big. I tucked them under my deck but they still are very noticeable. Don't come with wall mount brackets like the smaller model. Brackets are an additional $40-$50 bucks.

Bought these after listening to many, many different selections of outdoor speakers. Found these to have the best range of sound and much better bass than most.

LOOKS!! almost bought them for that lone, PRICE!! CONSTRUCTION, solid wood, large components, sturdy, Size, not as big as the mammoth N28's, Clarity

slim to none, lacking in base

These are gret for the price, i use them for music in a second room. The highs on these are super clean, decent mids and pretty good base for 6" speaks. The bass is lacking if you really enjoy bass, but with a decent reciever, im running a Yamaha on these, and put in something with a little base tehy perform nicely. Also they will go as loud as my 125 Watt per chanel amp will drive them without fatigue or distortion. Overall great speaks for the money

Great bass for size, INCREDIBLE high dispersion, great design, great looks.

if you listen to hip hop or techno at a very very high volume, you'll need a sub (hey they're only 6"!!!)

I do not actually own this product....YET! Like a good boy I did my research for about a week on the internet and found 4 different speakers to look at around the $200 range. The first was big KLH speakers with a 10" woofer. They were pretty big and had more bass than the JBL's and sounded almost as good. BUT they had to be played louder to sound as good. The JBL's sounded good at any volume level. They have an amazing bass response for their size and they can hold that bass for a very decent volume. I think they sound fuller than the 3-way 8" JBL bookshelf speaker (u might not believe me but seriously)!! The highs are so well dispersed i cant believe how wide and spacious they sound. There was another guy next to me looking at the same speaker and he also was checking to make sure a sub wasn't on... it sounded like it!! They have a very good design and the speaker material is superb. The N26 outdoor sounded horrible to these. Sony, KLH, Yamaha, and and small Bose cant match these. I have to say the closest you'll get to these it a big pair of bose towers or a tower yamaha...(still not that great for the size)

None at this time

I bought these speakers (N26II) based on JBL’s reputation and the positive reviews on various sites. I even compared them to similar priced speakers including the Infinity IL 10BLK which is also a 2 way with 6” driver. I found that I liked the sound of the JBL much better. I use these speakers as my mains for my surround system with a sub woofer and they do an excellent job. Great for music too. I have them matched with an N CenterII and will be adding the N24II’s for surrounds soon. Infinity is a good speaker in that price range also, it just depends on what you like to here.

Beautiful full sound for a reasonable price.

Of course there are better speakers, but we are talking in the $200 range. I can't see any weaknesses under that consideration.

I recently bought these speakers as a Christmas present for my girlfriend and they are fantastic. Reiterating what the others said, beautiful, crisp, articulate highs, and powerful lows (considering the 6-inch driver). Very impressed with the sound, especially for the price.

LOOKS!!! Even with teh covers off!! Price, for teh quality yo cant beat it Construction, solid ash cabinets, wood=good Sound, beautifull

Dont sound good when laid on their sides like the n24's do, but hey jsut dont be stupid and lay them on their sides, ohh and for excelent sound get the FSn26 stands!!!!

First of all let me say that these speakers are increadible especially since i got them so cheep, you can also get tehm on sale at best buy for $200. I have had these for 3 weeks now and they are jsut starting to get broken in. I have read alot of complaints that these speakers have no base. BS! First take into consideration that these are 6" drivers, then put in a Red Hot Chilli Peppers Cd, some techno, or even the Who and tell me these speak's dont have any base. No they do nto have as much as a sub, but hey, its a six inch driver. These speakers are awsome i have them paired up with a Yamaha 5560 reciever and the combination is perfect. This system is in my upstairs bedroom and at about 20% volume i can listen to them comfortably from anywhere in my 2100 sq. ft. house. The Highes are beautifully crafted without being fatiguing or ear splitting. The mids are perfectly balanced and very clean though not as clean as the beautifull highs, the bass is there anyone who says otherwise is nuts, tell them to change the settings on their reciever, if you want mroe bass well get a sub....I have nothign bad to say about these speakers, they are a good size and will fill practically any room with a good receiver or amp. Ive read people complaining that the mids on these speakers are muddy,....well get a Denon or Yamaha reciever and get rid of your pos sony and your problem will dissappear. Overall a great product for the money.

Clean highs, rich bass, good imaging, handsome design, friendly price for those of us on a budget!

I can't think of one, honestly.

I bought the JBL N26II to replace a pair of Cerwin Vega DX-7's that are about 10-12 years old. I live in a one bedroom apartment so I was hoping I could get by just fine with a smaller speaker. Well, right away I noticed how cleaner the little JBL's sounded compared to the big Vega's. The highs are crisp and clean with excellent imaging and no harshness at all. The little 6" woofers put out a surprising amount of bass and do it with almost no perceptible amount of stress. My listening tastes are things like The Who, Rush, Rolling Stones, CCR, Jewel, Weezer, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac....and the JBL's have never failed to put a smile on my face. I didn't think I would be as pleased with such a small speaker as this one; but I must admit I am absolutely thrilled with these little puppies. However, I do think I will add a JBL PD-10 (I think that is the model) powered sub just to take some of the low frequency responsibility away from the N26II and to give a bit more weight to the sound. I run the speakers with an Onkyo Integra A-8700 integrated amp (about 13 years old), an Onkyo DX-701 single disc CD player (maybe 6 years old), and a Toshiba SR 255 turntable (about 20 years old). All wires and interconnects are mid-level Monster Cable and the speakers are situated atop 30" high stands. Overall I think the system is very nice and the JBL N26II really adds the touch. Perhaps when I get a bigger place and/or budget I might look into the ND310II as I really liked the way they sounded in the store. In fact I was impressed with all of the NOrthridge series; I would easily recomend the N26II, or any other Northridge speaker for that matter, to anyone who wants a teriffic speaker with rich sound at a very attractive price!
