With dual woofers featuring high-output PolyPlas cones, and CMMD Lite tweeter domes with proprietary Bi-Radial waveguides, the JBL Studio 120c system is an ideal choice for the center-channel speaker in a multichannel home theater system – delivering the exceptional clarity, realism and bass response that a great center-channel speaker must. Voice-matched to other speakers in the JBL Studio 1 Series, and sharing the same dynamic new industrial design, the 120c renders the dialog, music and effects of even the most challenging movie soundtracks with confidence and style.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Impressed and I'm hard to impress
I put this up against my Polk CS20 figuring it would be a light weight. I ran it as the main center for a week. The side speakers on my system are wall mounted Polks and the sides are a pair of old Energies. I figured that even if the speakers weren't voice matched, it would still be fun to give these a shot. I didn't expect much but much to my surprise, this has become my main center now.
By rights these speakers shouldn't sound as good as they do. I have large speakers on the side and I like having the larger speakers in the centers to compensate. The JBL has smaller 4" speakers and an odd tweeter that is set at one side of the speaker instead of in the center. It has a pair of bars over it which must enhance the sound somehow. This speaker is heavy and I think that is what leads to such terrific sound.
The voice timbre that comes out of this speaker is deep and rich. In comparison, the Polk sounds smaller and has much more mid and less bass. Even the family...

A Pleasant Surprise
First, I readily admit that I am NOT an audiophile nor a sound "techie" so I will not relist the technical aspects of this JBL speaker that are contained in the above specs; therefore, I can only say that I like how it looks and how it sounds. I acquired this center channel speaker and added it to my 7.1 home multichannel surround system that contains different brand name speakers and a Sony receiver and Sony Blu-Ray--so nothing is matched by brand sequencing. This being said, the JBL Studio 120c has been a welcome addition and a surprise for its efficacy matched by its price, something I consider a real value.
The unit is very rigid and sturdy at 18.6 pounds and clearly is solidly built. I find the distinctive JBL black weave design to be an intriguing addition to my system as it sits beneath my HD plasma TV and adds a classy decorative look to the whole setup. Obviously, it is magnetically shielded since it is so close to my video units. In addition to its front facing...
