Just curious, have you looked up anything about TRON, the crypto currency? It’s promising a new world, free from illegal downloading and where every single artist gets paid for their work. I’d strongly recommend looking into it and doing an article about it. Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you.
The system also has a dedicated center channel speaker and all the speakers are voice matched. On the other hand there are few things we didn’t like and should be mentioned. First of all as the satellite speakers are rated 4 Ohms you should make certain that your AV receiver can support them making things a bit more complex than what they should be.

Thank you Stratos for your comprehensive review on this Home Theater Speaker system. It is clear that you are well experienced in this area of technology, and I appreciate your honesty in describing various points of this speaker system. We are a home media and home cinema equipment reviews website so what you suggest is out of our focus. Sometimes a more general term will lead you to the similar products. I do not personally like this home theater system, since I live in my small NY apartment because I am sure my neighbor would complaint.
Please turn it on so that you can experience the full capabilities of this site.
Product Description
In the back things are pretty simple also with only the power connector, a phase switch and a volume knob while on top of them we find a big centered bass port. Courtesy of the JBL Cinema 610’s 8” bass reflex and a powered subwoofer with 5 voice-matching satellites, you’re set to experience rich bass sound with ultra-low distortion. We are testing so many huge speakers lately that trying out such a compact model was a pleasant change.
Compact enough to fit into any living space, the JBL Cinema 610’s 4 voice-matched satellites and dedicated center speaker can be wall-mounted. The JBL Cinema 610’s included a dedicated center speaker that allows for world-class sonic reproduction, instilling every pin-drop of dialogue with full-fledged cinematic power. The JBL system should not be overlooked just because it isn't atop our lineup. Its dialogue clarity and bass prowess are top tier, but our panel was unimpressed with its surround sound performance. The speakers have some very obvious limitations that for someone that has heard some higher quality speakers can distinguish immediately.
JBL Cinema 610 Review
I have no experience installing or using home theater systems, so thank you for this review. We noticed that you already have spare parts in your cart. In order to add new products we have to empty your current cart. In order to add spare parts we have to empty your current cart.
JBL is quick to answer any questions you have via both email and phone. In total the result can be described as satisfying but the sound once again felt a bit flat and artificial for our tastes and we would like it to have a bit more depth to it. Other than this we cannot say we had any major objections and we had a very pleasant time with this little audio system. The JBL system features comparable sound quality to the products ranked just above it. If you favor JBL products, you're safe to include this one.
The speakers are looking good to the eye by having small touches that makes them look more premium while they are small enough to fit anywhere either it be bookshelf, wall or furniture. The subwoofer is small enough also and has a very neutral design that makes it look for like a small table for your drink rather than a speaker. The speaker cables that come in the box are nothing special and we would suggest that you buy some better quality ones but in this price range we could not expect anything better so we have no complaints here. Then we have the subwoofer which has a cubic almost design with clean sides and big feet to leave enough breathing space under for the down-firing driver. The subwoofer with it’s bass reflex enclosure has 100 Watts RMS power and frequency response of 38Hz – 250Hz all due to the 200mm (8”) woofer that comes with it.
But the point here is not to compare these with the quality of better speakers but to check if for the price asked they can offer a good enough performance. Our first impression was rather good as we got good balance and control over the whole dynamic range. Sound came a bit flat for our tastes and with less depth than what we would prefer. On the other hand bass was very good without being neither excessive nor too little.
But for normal viewing the system keeps a good control and offers enough acoustic details to be considered adequate. One small detail that we observed was that all these speakers have 4 Ohms impedance. This means that you have to be careful the AV receiver you will connect them to, not only not to be very powerful, as 10 – 100 Watts is the ideal, but also to have support for 4 Ohms speakers or at least be able to handle them. JBL covers this surround sound system with a five-year warranty.
JBL has announced a pair of new home theater sound systems including the JBL Cinema 610 and JBL Cinema 510. Both of the home theater audio systems are designed for plug-and-play connectivity to any AV receiver using the included speaker cables. The audio systems also feature a small footprint subwoofer and wall brackets allowing users to mount the satellite speakers to the wall. Many of the top home theater systems in our lineup vary only slightly in audio quality. Just because the JBL Cinema 610 didn't rank among the best home theater systems, that doesn't mean it's inferior. We had a listening panel compare the systems against each other.
The 4 main/surround speakers come with dimensions 7.87” x 3.8” x 3.92” (200mm x 96.8mm x 99.5mm) and weight 0.8kg (1.76lb) and are compact enough to fit almost anywhere. Naturally being so small you will have to place them on some furniture or mount them on the wall with the included wall mounts. Their black plastic casing feels solid enough while the drivers are being covered by a metal grill with the JBL logo standing in the middle with prominence. Speaking of drivers each of these 4 speakers comes with a 75mm (3”) cone that covers the mid-range and a 32mm (1.25”) tweeter for the high frequencies. The speakers are rated at 60W power with 86dB @ 2.83V/1 meter sensitivity and a frequency range of 130Hz – 20kHz. For that reason JBL has created a home cinema speaker system that offers good enough performance without breaking the bank and at the same time having small enough size to fit in tight spaces and small rooms.
The rest of the specs are similar with the only difference on the frequency range as the center speaker has a range of 150 Hz – 20kHz and sensitivity of 89dB @ 2.83V/1 meter. For the size you mention Luka the Cinema 610 is just fine. As for wall mounting you can use the mounts that are included, it’s just that they could make a better design to be more practical.
And the performance you get may surprise you for their looks. During the battle between the Navy Destroyers and the alien ship explosions felt punchy enough as the subwoofer provided enough power to our liking. During the shooting in the final battle between the USS Missuri and the alien mother ship the projectiles can be heard very clearly through the surround speakers giving you a lot of depth in the rear as well as at the front. The center channel provided clear enough dialogue but we would like it to be a bit more focused than it was. When thinking about home theater audio surround systems we tend to think about top of the line equipment and crazy speakers setups that cost a lot of money.
At 60-watts, the subwoofer isn't nearly as powerful as the one in the Polk Audiopackage, but it pairs well with the rest of the system. The bass was prominent and still had plenty of volume to go before maxing out. Our panelists felt this was one of the better bass performances in our comparison.
