 Great for surrounds Jul 22, 2010
I bought these to replace some Control 1s as my surround speakers. The sound seems, not surprisingly, the same, which is to say very good. The ability to mount these in the corners of the wall is what I bought these for, however, and that worked perfectly. They were easy to put up in the corner and the sound is much more enveloping than with the small-bookshelf Control 1s, which had to sit behind us, instead of to the sides. These might be worth a higher sound rating, but as I'm using them as surrounds only, and they replaced very similar speakers, there isn't a lot of room for a wow factor here. Also, I did quite a bit of listening to higher-end speakers, and these aren't up there with the best. They're solid and once you have them in your system they sound great, but side-by-side you can find better speakers if you're willing to spend the money. The shape is great, however, because it allows corner placement high up, but still points speakers right at the listening area and away.

 Amazing value. Solid build. Great definition. May 26, 2010
I first purchased one pair of the JBL Control Now to try them out- then went back to buy 3 more to complete my 5.1 surround. They look a bit strange at first, but once you look at the mounting options, you realize how versatile this speaker is. They really look nice when you get them installed.
The sound quality is phenomenal for a speaker in this price range. I have listened to and installed a wide variety of sound systems including home theater, professional stage sound and classy car audio systems. This speaker easily rivals others costing hundreds more. The clarity and definition for the mids and highs are superb. The bass is also pretty good for such a small package. But, to really make your system sound the best, you're going to need a good subwoofer. With a pair of these and a sub, you'll be enjoying high-end sound for very little.
One important thing to note is that the mounting brackets are INCLUDED. Unlike most speakers, these come with both wall and stand brackets in the box. No need to plunk down more money on mounts. You can either mount on the wall, in the corners of the wall or on a free standing pole mount. There are even additional options (not included) for mounting 4 of them on a down rod hanging from the ceiling (ala ceiling fan style).
Buy them, you won't regret it.

JBL Awesome Apr 11, 2009
JBL Control Now are the most amazing speakers I have ever purchased! The sound quality is stunning. I mounted these speakers in the top wall corners to surround sound speakers and I'm just amazed of the sound and quality of these speakers. A must buy for your theater system.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
