Boom speakers all you need.
Broad brush paint much?

Aside from the ridiculous grammar, that is a silly statement. You might as well say "a Vespa is all you need". Accomplishes the same thing as your 20K Harley.


For the OP, who after two months I assume has made his purchase by now, what you need is what will sound good and satisfy YOU. That may or may not be "boom speakers".

I do however agree with many of the other posters that the ultimate solution is to add an outboard amplifier for best performance with any speaker. But you may decide that is overkill for you.

Bad pair, Maybe? I would be more in agreement if one of them had issues.

All I can say for sure is the Polks are worlds of difference better!

Anyone who has the J&M's and are happy, that's all that counts. Everyone deserves to be happy
