JBL Arena 170 Floorstanding Speakers Review: An Honest Look

Speakers
In reviewing the JBL Arena 170 Speakers, I found them to be reliable and efficient, notably considering their reasonable price point. Their modern design successfully complemented my media room. The speakers' setup process was seamless and worked impressively well when paired with my existing Bose bookshelf 201s and analog stereo rig.

There are some drawbacks, including a lack of heavy bass and a potentially less attractive full price compared to sale price, depending primarily on personal preferences and specific music tastes.
