Hello Fans,
Does anyboldy know where and how I can get replacement wire/cable for my 2 JBL HLS410 speakers? I need that 2 headed kind of wire that you cut off the plastic head tip and forecefully screw it into some red and black round dealio on my receiver. The prior bad wires would not screw in thus sound was intermittent and a disaster. The ends kept getting frayed so I tossed it out into the street. I just don't know how to get more of this old fashioned horrible wire, Help me please, boys, ok? Thanks DixieNormuss

great bass for their size

slightly thin midrange

I bought these as an extra pair of speakers to use with a second system. I was pleasantly surprised when I hooked them up and listened. The bass made me think I was listening to something larger than the HLS-410. Granted, you won't shake the walls with 4" speakers, but the sound was nonetheless satisfying.

The only shortcoming I can find (and it's really minor) is the midrange seems a bit weak compared to my Klipsch kg4's and Large Advents. This also makes the high end seem brighter. It's not a fair comparison, considering the small size of the JBLs, however, it does cause vocals to sound a bit tubby compared to these larger systems. Even so, I found listening to old-time radio shows on the JBLs a pleasure.

The speakers will play well even at high volume, something I was surprised to find. This has really changed my view of small speakers for the better.

For the money, these are hard to beat!

Components used:

HLS 410 I used it as my surround sound this is a cute little speaker, it puts out alot of clean noise before it goes to distortion. It is also a Horn construction for highs. This speaker is great for the the surround, but if you need to use as a listening speakers just need to add a sub to help it to put out more bass.

A neat little speaker. Using one of these as a center works great in a small system. You'd be hard-pressed to find a center speaker as accurate (and as inconspicuous) for the same price. The range (75hz -20khz) is also better than centers costing a lot more.

These are great little speakers. They are just the right size for hanging, are ported in the rear and match my JBL HLS820 fronts, HLSCenter perfectly. Before I purchased these I had an Advent B2R system and only planned on replacing the fronts and center with HLS820s and an HLSCenter channel. Once I got started there was no turning back. My Advents didn't provide a seamless blend with front to back pans, it seamed like there was a gap between the fronts and rears. If you have HLS speakers already these guys are perfect. I originally planned on replacing the surrounds with HLS610s, but those suckers are way too large to hang (real big eye sore in my family room). You can get them cheap at consumer-direct.com for $104.oo + shipping.

Good High Range

Very good set of surround speakers I wanted to have a speaker that produced the highs that many surrounds do not reproduce well. Tweater is very good! Ported in the back and not too big for surrounds!

Great Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction very clean sound.

Very good value for the money
