JBL's custom-designed drivers allow the use of simple, Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks with high-quality electrical components that minimize processing that could degrade the signal. Wall-mount brackets are included.
Amazon.com Product Description
JBL's N24 II bookshelf speakers are perfect for small systems, backroom use, or for service as rear left/right surround speakers in a home theater ensemble. Benefiting from JBL's acclaimed speaker technologies, the speakers are equipped to handle up to 100 watts per channel with ease and efficiency, and even the lowest-powered integrated amplifiers should have no trouble driving them. The speakers' 2-way design maximizes bass output through a 4-inch PolyPlas cone woofer working in concert with a flared, FreeFlow port that minimizes "chuffing" for seamless, integrated bass. High frequencies chime from .75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters. JBL's Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover at 3 kHz uses minimal, high-grade electronics to ensure transparent, uncolored sonic transitions between the drivers. The speakers offer sturdy, 5-way binding-post speaker terminals and are video shielded for distortion-free placement near your television. The speakers may be wall-mounted, but mounting hardware is not included. This product is not intended for ceiling mounting. What's in the Box
Two speakers, 2 speaker grilles, and a user's manual, and warranty info.

 Movie, music, gaming, you name it January 18, 2005

My home theater system takes a beating. Everything from movie night amongst my friends and I, Need for Speed Underground 2 Night, and everyday music use in my home theater it sounds incredible. The Dolby Digital, ProLogic, and DTS playback all sounds great thanks in part to these N24's. I had tried other speaker models and brands in vain and I just ended up taking them all back. The JBL's caught my eye because they are actually what the restaurant I work for use as background music all day, and employee abuse during closings.
So naturally I tried these on for size in my home. They come with wall mounts unlike so many other speaker models I dealt with so that was a definate plus. The small size and light weight would allow for the option of speaker stands if you wanted to go for that look.
As far as weaknesses goes, I can't seem to think of any. I could not imagine using these as front speakers because they are only two way, but I am just used to being spoiled with my floorstanding speakers. It would actually be an excellent little setup to have four N24's setup with a good center channel (EC35) and subwoofer (E250P).
Great sound, even better price. August 3, 2003

JBL means quality sound, and that doesn't have to come at the price of expensive floor standing speakers. Being 16 and on a budget, finding good deals is a part of life. Whilst the N24II speakers are small, they sound much larger than they appear to be. With an amazingly flat frequency response, the N24II's produce sound well into the 70Hz range. I own a JBL PB12 subwoofer, and they are a perfect match with the crossover set to around 80Hz. The cabinets are nearly a perfect crescent shape, which reduces standing wave buildup in the cabinet resulting in cleaner and tighter bass. I use these speakers in the surround channel aspect of movies and music, but I frequently find myself connecting them to the front speaker outputs of my Kenwood receiver and listening to music. When speakers sound that good, it really doesn't matter where in the room the sound is coming from; back or front. Acoustic music takes on a new meaning with amazingly accurate vocals, thrilling high-frequencies, and ample tight bass. These speakers sound good right out of the box, but sound even better after being properly broken in after 60 hours of use. At such a low price, and with amazing quality of workmanship and sound, go out and buy a few pairs for you and the neighborhood-these are not cheap plastic speakers. You can always achieve great sound with the proper setup.
Big sound, small speakers, good price... June 22, 2003

Whoever said that couldn't achieve a good sound from little speakers, was wrong. Whoever said that you need a big set of 10 or 12 inch drivers in a floor speaker to sound good, was wrong.
So was I. I thought that good sound was only possible with floor speakers.
These set of little speakers handle music & movies without problems.
I bought this pair mainly to serve as my surround-back speakers for my set. Since I have mainly used them for surround-sound purposes, I had not really given these speakers a chance to show what they are.
Well, I had a party last night and I put them to the test. I connected these to my JBL subwoofer and hanged them on the wall with the brackets outside in the porch. For my surprise, these speakers handled everything I threw on the cd player. From techno to rap, to latin & rock, they did a really good job.
The highs were perfect, mids were there, and lows were as well. Even though the bass was mainly being from my jbl subwoofer, the speakers did handle it well when I tested them without the subwoofer. Come on, for a 4 inch driver, the bass is pretty good.
I was so pleased with the performance, that I'm even thinking about buying an extra pair to connect them in my porch.
I was getting complements from everyone on how good the sound was from such little speakers.
I said, well it's JBL.
And for the price you can't beat it.
Go and get yours and listen to your movies & music the way it's supposed to sound.

I can't believe that someone reviewed these speakers so unfavorably. In our home theatre they sound absolutely amazing. I've read technical reviews of these units that extol their incredibly flat frequency response from 18,000 to 90 Hz, and to my ears they are indeed crisp and clear.. We have a high end SVS subwoofer we use with these, and for home theatre, the sound is wonderful. There have been times when we've turned off the subwoofer output of the amp for late viewing, and it still sounds fine. I've often forgotten to turn the sub back on and I'm still pleased with the sound.We consider them the best bargain in home theatrer!

I brought a pair of these speakers a year ago, and they were quite simply terrible. I initially wanted to use them as primary speakers with my secondary stereo system, and they were awful!!! I then hooked them up as surrounds for my primary stereo and once again they were terrible. They sounded so bad I took them back to Best Buy for a second pair just be sure that the first pair weren't blown. Well, they weren't blown: they were simply pathetic. The bass was virtually non-existent and both the mid and high ranges sounded muddy. Maybe other JBL products are of higher quality than these, but certainly don't buy these. They are quite simply the worst speakers I've ever owned (fortunatly, only temporarily).
