IMPORTANT NOTE: These speakers have BALANCED inputs using professional audio-style connectors so if you plan on using these with an unbalanced source (like a computer sound card) you will need to get an adapter cable like this: http://hosatech.com/product/cmp-150/

Incredible speakers. Steal at this price. There is a mark II version of these speakers out, so that's why they are going for half the MSRP.

is this considered an official seller, or if there's like an issue with warranty am I out of luck?

do these go lower? I'm not in a hurry but do want these if this is the best price!

Best price you will find. FYI I believe they are phasing this model out, but for the money I don't think that they can be beat (and that's at the $100 each price)

Have bought from this seller before and had no issues. Just picked up these speakers around the holidays for a little more and they're great if you're setting up a home studio. These can't be beat for under a bill a piece.

I'm a big fan of these speakers and have recommended them in multiple SlickDeals threads over the years. Note that you can get a gloss black pair of the same speaker on MassDrop for $180 shipped. Besides the luxe gloss finish, they are pair-matched and you get an offficial JBL frequency response graph showing that (my MassDrop pair was +/- 0.2 dB, and more like 0.05 dB for most of the spectrum, which is absurdly good), you get a free unbalanced to balanced cable (necessary for most people unless they are running off an expensive DAC), and free silicon damping feet (negligible value there).

I think the MassDrop pair is a slightly better value, but you can't lose. These sound like $600 speakers powered by a $200 stereo receiver.

Thinking about getting the MassDrop pair for $180

Do I need a receiver for these speakers to work or can i simply plug in an Airport Express or any 3.5mm device?

No receiver needed. I use mine with Chromecast Audio.

The MassDrop one includes a cable with 3.5mm stereo plug to 1/4" L/R mono plugs, so any source with 3.5mm out will work.

Please be aware that these speakers will not work with most home theater receivers (except those with pre-amp out, which is very rare these days) and that you just have the one cable, so you need to have straight in your mind that will use these as stereo speakers with a single source for the life of the speakers. For most people, that will mean a computer or maybe tablet as your one source.

There are some clunky pushbutton source selectors you could get off of Amazon that you might be able to adapt to select other sources, and you could buy an actual pre-amp (how it's done in a studio), but that's not really the market these speakers are going for.

These are absolutely amazing as PC speakers. You'll want to use them with a software equalizer to tune the flat response sound to your taste, but this way you can color the sound any which way you want, and they can't be beat in sound quality by anything under several hundred dollars.

Pair them with this mixer here for convenient volume control at your fingertips, and mixing with up to one more sound source: https://www.amazon.com/Lexicon-2-...icon+alpha
