The first pair we had 10 years! Under the canopy fitted, operated by a Bose LifeStyle system with additional amplifiers for the 2nd area, the plant ran to the best satisfaction. Using Bose was radio remote control and the system to control also from the terrace. The JBL speakers were only replaced because the grid and the color of the boxes optically no longer met. The tonal qualities are good, we are just as happy with the new JBL Control as with its predecessors. BT Recommendation
