Yes and No
(4 out of 5) by Barbara J. Wertz on Dec 5, 2007 (Sewell, NJ USA)I'm sure these are great speakers, after all, they're JBL.
Unfortunately nothing in Amazon's description indicates that they're not powered and will only work with a system that includes a receiver. I bought them to upgrade the depressingly poor quality of the speaker built into my new Sony Bravia HDTV but that won't work because there's no way to power the speakers. (I confirmed that with JBL's customer support.)
I'll probably keep them since I got such a good price and I have faith in JBL. I may use them someday or can give them as a gift.
If your plans for these speakers include a receiver do buy them. Otherwise keep looking.
