Review: these JBL speakers are Spot-on
With a mushroom-y shape, the Spot is available in black and white, and also has optional covers of other hues and designs. In other words, it features JBL Wrappers for the subwoofer and satellite speakers, allowing you to personalize the speaker system with various designs and colors. The half globe satellites and subwoofer rise above table level with chrome metal rings, and no matter which shells go onto the speakers, their classy metal grilles and volume controls look good.
But what about the sound? It's impressive for a relatively small system like this. The JBL Spyro’s satellite speakers are connected by retro cloth-covered cables. It incorporates Odyssey transducer technology and has a small footprints. The Spot sports satellite speakers with six watts of power and subwoofers that produce 24 watts.
The "plug and play" solutions work with desktop computers, laptops, MP3 players and gaming systems. I've tried it with an iMac and with a 5G iPod, and it worked nicely with both. They're not audio powerhouses, and their sound won't blow you away. But the bass is solid and distortion-free. The (relatively) small subwoofer can't produce the lowest notes, and the treble is a bit "tinny," but, overall, the Spot delivers good all-around sound quality for those who are watching their budget, but still want a little visual panache with their speakers.
