| Installing electronic devices usually takes me a few tries and I consider it easy if it works before I give up. The Acoustic Research AW877 speakers were the easiest think I ever set up. I've had a harder time with wired speakers. I read the directions once, took the speakers and transmitter out of the box an set everything up the way the instructions said and they worked perfectly the first time. I can't beleive I didn't have to reread the directions. They were so simple.I waited a couple of weeks before I wrote this review because I wanted to be sure they continued to work as perfectly as they do. They're as good as wired speakers as far as the sound is concerned. I have them set up in the kitchen and the transmitter is in the living room, two rooms away. I never lost a signal or heard static. Best choice I could have made. |

After my one of my beloved Recoton Wireless speakers quit on me, producing no sound except a loud buzz, I despaired of finding a pair of decent replacement speakers.
The JBL Wireless look very much like the old Recotons (aka Advent Wireless), but the customer reviews here at amazon scared me away. The JBLs sound as if they have some real issues with their auto cutoff threshold, and apparently it isn't user-adjustable.
So I read some good reviews of these ARs here and -- I'm happy to say that I am VERY pleased with the pair that arrived today. Folks looking to replace an old pair of Recotons or Advents need look (or listen) no further.
These ARs sound as good as the old Recotons, and at a very low volume setting -- around 8 o'clock on the volume knob! They also offer the modern conveniences of auto-tuning and auto-shutoff (and I am happy to say that the latter works well here -- no signal interruption even during quiet classical passages).
Otherwise the reception is great in my bathroom, some forty to fifty feet away from the transmitter, through several walls. Installation was fast and simple. No issues. On top of all this, the ARs can operate on battery power as well as AC, if you want to take them outside on your terrace or patio, for example.
Finally I must disagree with the other reviewer who said these speakers lacked bass. Not so! It's possible that their midrange might be a little prominent, but for their size, I think their sound is splendid, and I'm a musician who knows good sound.
At amazon's price, these speakers offer good value as well. Highly recommended! |
Highly recommended!

| This is my first set of wireless speakers and they are awesome! I am using them as a remote set of speakers in other rooms of my house and they are performing well with GREAT POWERFUL sound. Setup was simple. I plugged the transmitter in the tape out (rec) port in the back of my pioneer receiver. My only complaint is all the power cords needed to power everything (3 of them!) But for portable sound anywhere in my house, its worth it. |
good wireless solution

| Received this unit a day earlier than promised. Tried to set it up into the outputs of my old analog tv. No luck. Changed settings again no luck. Finally decided to run it directly from the outputs of Directtv DVR. It worked perfectly then and still does. Good separation of channels. The blue lights seemed to bother some people. I simply turned the transmitter 90 degrees and I don't see it anymore.I would highly recommend the unit. |
I am very very satisfied

| I just love my new wireless speakers. They work far better than I anticipated, and were a cinch to install. |
