The CS480 Home Speaker System is a beautifully-designed, high-performance home theater speaker system.

The satellites feature JBL’s advanced titanium-laminate dome tweeters and 3-1/2″ drivers for unsurpassed power and realism. The voice-matched center channel speaker uses components that are identical to those used in the satellites for seamless pans, with two midranges for extra power and clarity in the dialogue channel.

Wall brackets are included for the satellites and center channel.

I did my homework when it was time to take my 6 year old HK SAT-TS2 5.1 system off the wall and make the next step toward turning my living room into a true cinema. Although I have the 6.1 capable Sony receiver and Blueray player (AKA PS3), I decided to stick with a 5.1 system due to the size limitation of my living room (13×16). My room was already wired, but the system does come with speaker wires and subwoofer cable. Another bonus are the two sets of speaker brackets.
This system includes fixed and pivoting brackets for all the speakers. I also liked the departure from the spring clip connectors. These speakers have quality screw terminals that can handle a 10 gauge wire. The only issue I discovered was that the fixed bracket for the center speaker may create a short between the speaker wire terminals. A little electrical tape solved the problem and I was finally off to the races. HD TV, Dolby Digital 5.1 movies, and PS3 games have been raised to a new level with this system. Zero buyer’s remorse!

We just have this system set up, paired with Denon AVR 787 receiver and Monster cables. Not sure how much cable adds to it, but definitely a good receiver is a must for this speaker system to playback perfectly. The sound is pheonomonal. The sound is deep and rich, with layers and details. It is not overtaking the movie if the movie is not loaded with sound effects. We have tested with Movies: Shrek, Chicago, Matrix, Nemo. It is definitely cinema quality sound, much better than the bose 5.1 system I listened to in the store. It also enhances your movie experience by so much that you feel like watching a new movie discovering scenes you never discovered before. For example, I never noticed the water was so clear in Nemo, now I feel it, all because the vast calm water sound of the ocean.
Excellent! I would recommend this system to anyone!

I was looking for a set of surround speakers that were both small but also gave punchy, crisp sound. After a good deal of searching, I decided that the JBL CS480 Home Speaker System were the best deal. Set-up was easy, with both cables and brackets provided. First of all, the sound is great. I hooked them up to an Optimus professional series reciever. Secondly, the brackets to hang them on a wall are very good-easy to set up, and they look good too. The sub is powerful; I haven’t turned it up past 3/4ths but that is more than enough. I would recommend these speakers for someone whose room is not very large–they are relatively small and unobtrusive and blend in well with the room. The sub also looks nice. Good purchase.
