  High-performance satellites and a powerful 8" subwoofer deliver every little detail from your music and movies |
Don’t Worry, It's Just Your Movie
Who could deny that being surrounded in sound from your favorite action flick makes watching it more exciting? And who could deny that when listening to a CD or your iPod, there’s no better experience than closing your eyes and imagining your favorite musical artist giving you your own private concert right in front you? We hear you.
Satellites
The JBL CS480 home theater system uses 3/4" titanium-laminate tweeters to re-create all of the high frequencies you hear in your favorite movie or song. Titanium’s strength and light weight make it perfect for quickly and accurately reproducing high frequencies from music and movies without strain or distortion. And a patented JBL EOS waveguide ensures that high frequencies have a wide and uniform dispersion, which results in smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. Add a rigid 3-1/2" midrange driver that features a patented JBL PolyPlas™ driver, and the CS480 satellites will make whatever you’re listening to sound smooth and detailed. And when it comes to the critical center channel, the CS480 steps up the performance, using dual 3-1/2" midrange drivers to make movie dialogue sound clear and natural.
Subwoofer
When it comes to low frequencies, the CS480 creates bass with a powerful punch, using an 8", 125-watt subwoofer. To increase the rigidity of the woofer, the CS480 uses a patented JBL PolyPlas driver. PolyPlas material has both strength and a light weight, so bass is reproduced effortlessly and with maximum impact. In addition, the subwoofer’s port is optimized to reduce port noise. The result? A home theater system with rich bass that’ll make all your favorite music and movies even more exciting.

Box Office in my living room!
Let me start by saying that I couldn't be happier with these speakers. I did my homework when it was time to take my 6 year old HK SAT-TS2 5.1 system off the wall and make the next step toward turning my living room into a true cinema. Although I have the 6.1 capable Sony receiver and Blueray player (AKA PS3), I decided to stick with a 5.1 system due to the size limitation of my living room (13x16). My room was already wired, but the system does come with speaker wires and subwoofer cable. Another bonus are the two sets of speaker brackets. This system includes fixed (uni-directional swivel) and pivoting brackets for all the speakers. I also liked the departure from the spring clip connectors. These speakers have quality screw terminals that can handle a 10 gauge wire. The only issue I discovered was that the fixed bracket for the center speaker may create a short between the speaker wire terminals. A little electrical tape solved the problem and I was finally off to the races. HD TV, Dolby Digital 5.1 movies, and PS3 games have been raised to a new level with this system. Zero buyer's remorse!
great speakers
We just have this system set up, paired with Denon AVR 787 receiver and Monster cables. Not sure how much cable adds to it, but definitely a good receiver is a must for this speaker system to playback perfectly. The sound is pheonomonal. The sound is deep and rich, with layers and details. It is not overtaking the movie if the movie is not loaded with sound effects. We have tested with Movies: Shrek, Chicago, Matrix, Nemo. Each one of them is played very nicely. It is definitely cinema quality sound, much better than the bose 5.1 system I listened to in the store. It also enhances your movie experience by so much that you feel like watching a new movie discovering scenes you never discovered before. For example, I never noticed the water was so clear in Nemo, now I feel it, all because the vast calm water sound of the ocean.
Excellent! I would recommend this system to anyone!
p.s. To listen to music, make sure to connect with a CD player (not a DVD player), and use 5 channel stereo, otherwise, the sound will not come out right.
JBL CS480BG
I was looking for a set of surround speakers that were both small but also gave punchy, crisp sound. After a good deal of searching, I decided that the JBL CS480 speakers were the best deal. Set-up was easy, with both cables and brackets provided (you'll need to have screws if you're planning on screwing the brackets into a wall).
First of all, the sound is great. I hooked them up to an Optimus professional series reciever. I have no complaints. I've been trying them out on different movies and music and everything sounds good. Secondly, the brackets to hang them on a wall are very good-easy to set up, and they look good too (the speakers and the brackets). The sub is powerful; I haven't turned it up past 3/4ths but that is more than enough.
I would recommend these speakers for someone whose room is not very large--they are relatively small and unobtrusive and blend in well with the room. The sub also looks nice. Good purchase.
