Awesome price. Different speakers but similar prices to previous deal
Enjoy :)
JBL CSB5 Bookshelf Speakers with custom installation option to mount on a wall, perfectly matches your flat screen TV. With massive power handling up to 300 Watts, the CSB5 features JBL's proprietary Polyplas Cone woofer and Titanium-Laminated Dome Tweeter.
Note: These are passive speakers, and requires an amp to drive them.
Looks to be roughly 40w RMS. 8 Ohms. Damn, want to buy just cos it's so cheap. Surely a price error?

Bro

$199 on their ebay site. Maybe they forgot the "1"?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JBL-CSB5-Bookshelf-Speakers-Pair…
I'm tempted even though I got 2 pairs on the previous deal… ignore the $799 RRP but this looks like a great deal from a reputable manufacturer
How would these go as rear surrounds in a 5.1 (or centre rears in 7.1) system, I wonder?
Cheap plasticy design. Seems like 8 years old.
Says pair in title, sold as single in specs.
Does anyone know if they can be used for desktop?
They appear to be passive, so you would need to buy a separate amplifier.
I have bookshelf speakers running from my PC. Motherboard sound > 3.5mm to RCA > $20 chinese stereo amp > speakers. Sound great.
"Video-Shielded Drives" from the pre-digital era
I just bought and its for a pair, thanks to poster.
Manual for these speakers were around in 2006? Old stock?
They are. But as passive speakers they're unlikely to be outdated any time soon, no huge developments in design for, I dunno? 30 years? At $99 from a decent company they're a steal. Not going to have you blowing a stack (see what i did there?) but they'll sound pretty decent and much better value than what you'd get for the same price in a "new" design.
I like the last one more daddy

These vs Edifier R1580MB? Just got the Edifiers 24hours ago can still return them!
Edifier R1580MB are powered speakers. The ones in this deal are passive and will need an amplifier.
@OP It might be a good idea to include in the title that these are passive.
Thanks added into description ..
I'd keep the edifer. The JBL will need amp and sub by the look of its size and design. Cost same if not more.
The range is cinema sound. they are probably decent for the price, but not likely to be a very musical or detailed.
Anyone know where to find a very cheap receiver to match these with optical? be nice to add some not shit sound to a bedroom tv..
Facebook Marketplace. Pick up one a few years old for peanuts. I bought an Integra (fancy brand Onkyo) for $60 recently.
If you can deal with one without HDMI, you will buy something very good for under $100
Try big op-shops too. My local Savers have a pretty frequent influx of AV equipment. Just picked up a fully functional Pioneer SC-LX85 for $40 the other day. Probably cheaper than scrap metals by weight. Best buy of the year for me.
RMS?
