Great sound quality, serious exterior. Highly recommended for bedrooms.
1 of 1 found this helpful They sound very nice.
They're physically big, heavy, and solid. They take up a lot of room on my desk. They look 'serious'. The bass is tight and reach surprisingly low considering the woofer size (6.5"). The highs are very clear. Everything in between sounds all there and present, no noticeable crossover issues. Nothing seems over emphasized. Overall, very detailed.
So far I've just been using them with my Sony stereo (was looking for replacement speakers), and these sound a lot clearer than the old ones. I use them in my bedroom, and the volume is enough for me. I do like to listen to loud music, but these are for enjoyment, not for turning my room into a club.
Radio stations aren't by any means a good source to judge audio quality with, but I can tell you that I hear more stereo separation and more details like soft snare drum hits and bounces, fingers sliding across strings on acoustic guitar, and subtle characteristics of people's voices.
Many people find these speakers at flea markets and garage sales for dirt cheap. They're definitely worth it and bring back the enjoyment of listening to music. Modern hifi speakers are made just for looks. Colorful speakers, interesting grills, odd shapes... These JBL's are all business. They were built to make full use of their drivers and have an appealing, pleasant sound with an office-like exterior.
My suggestion would be to use something like the Art SLA1 amplifier to power these for a very clean sound. You can connect any line level source to that amp with the right cables, like an iPod, laptop, soundcard, audio interface, guitar effects processor, whatever.

Best Aftermarket Design - Modern Look
These look great in real life! Be sure to reseal the lens of these headlights before install. One of mine fogs up from the inside, but then again I stuck LED's into the projector, taped around bulb to seal the gaps.
These need to be aimed and adjusted. Not doing so will give you poor visibility at night.
I'm not a big fan of the white eyebrows or the upper 3 LED signal lights on these, but they still look far better than my old, yellowed, worn out original lights.

Worth the price, but not really necessary. I don't regret buying it.
2 of 2 found this helpful This is a review about the Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3.06GHz, 533MHz FSB w/Hyper Threading processor. These details are all important. It's the most powerful processor you can get for motherboards that only accept Northwood, not Prescott, processors. I got this to breathe some life back into an old Dell desktop of mine.
To make sure you don't run into any unnecessary problems, update the BIOS on your motherboard. If your buying this processor now, chances are your computer is very old and the last BIOS update was probably made around 2004-2005. Chances are also likely you never updated it back then, or missed the latest update, so this 5 minute procedure is well worth it. Your motherboard may not recognize the processor otherwise, and all the disassembling and thermal paste could get quite redundant and messy if you don't do this first.
My desktop originally had a Pentium 4 2.53GHz w/o Hyper Threading. The speed increase wasn't too noticeable, and the hyper threading didn't feel apparent much either. However, for the price I paid, the small increase in performance and the added assurance that there is no further upgrade path for my desktop was well worth it.
There are other limiting factors that play a bigger role in [old] computer performance. My desktop, which uses DDR RAM, only operated at 333MHz, not the full 400MHz. The AGP slot on my motherboard only worked at x4, as opposed to x8. My hard drive isn't so great, and the PATA interface limits my speed and choices of upgrades (An important tip: Your motherboard probably has 2 PATA channels, capable of connecting two drives each, Master and Slave. If you don't have many physical drives in your desktop, keep your system drive on a separate PATA channel from anything else like CD/DVD drives or secondary HDDs. I'd also recommend removing your floppy drive and unneeded CD drives). I've mentioned all this because the product I'm reviewing is mostly bought by people looking to upgrade their old computers. This processor, coupled with good computer maintenance and Windows XP/other low-resource operating system, will yield performance that justifies the space your old computer takes up.
When I received this item, the processor pins were slightly bent and could not be inserted into my motherboard's socket. With some crafty knifework and crossed fingers, I was able to straighten the pins out and get it up and running. My recommendation: If your processor comes with bent pins, return it and yell at the seller.
If you heard from people that this upgrade isn't worth it, they're probably thinking about it in terms of cost vs performance boost without considering its current price. 10-15 bucks is well worth it when your old computer in question is still being used.
