I have the chance of getting a pair of JBL HLS820 speakers for my home theater for a really good price.
Does anyone have any experience with these, or an opinion on the qualities?

Not on that particular model, but most, if not all of the JBL's I've heard sound very good & always above average to me. The best thing you can do for yourself with any speaker, is to listen to it before you buy. Your ears will determine what sounds good to you & will be very different to other opinions. I like JBL, Infinity, KLH & another from England that I can't recall offhand. Bose is another, but not lately compared to what else is available for the same price.

I have listened to some expensive speakers & I was not impressed at all compared to some for 1/3 of the price. I have a pair of Infinity tower speakers that were $700, & in my opinion were a lot better than a pair of Definitives that were $2300. Of all the components you can choose for a stereo system, the speakers will be the part you have to hear for yourself. I think it's personal taste, & not really different to picking what kind of music you prefer to listen to.
