Great system, great value.
By julipul on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2015
I purchased the JBL CS480 system as a surround setup for our main TV. The room that the TV is in is oddly shaped and not the most ideal place to set up a surround system. I went with the JBL for three reasons: JBL's reputation in audio, the small speaker sizes, and the fact that mounting brackets are included with the system. The speakers are not large, of course, but they fill the room with sound that is clear even at loud levels. I use this system for watching TV and movies, and playing video games, and it sounds just great. One quickly becomes immersed in the surround sound. I have this system connected to a Pioneer VSX-523-K 5.1 receiver, which drives the speakers well allowing them to reach their full clarity. There are two types of mounting brackets included. One is for fixed position speakers and the other is for mounting speakers so that they can be pointed certain directions. Since the room the surround system is in offers a challenge for setting up surround, it was nice and convenient to use the changing position mounting brackets. Overall, setup was a breeze and the speakers sound awesome.

Mediocre quality of sound from satellites, good sub and center
By ben2008 on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2009
I have read good reviews of other buyers and that shaped my decision to buy this speaker system. However, when I bought and installed this system I was rather disappointed with the quality of sound from satellites. My full range JVC speakers (supposedly lower end) produced much richer sound. Sub did make a difference but could not compensate for the dullness of sound coming from the satellites. Center speaker is not bad. I have Yamaha RX-V663 receiver and receiver has been proven to produce excellent sound with other speakers.
