Richersounds have these on sale at £49 but there isnt one very near to me. However Maplin will price match this , so you get them for £49. I think it can only be done instore , but still a great dea.

dont bother if these are the 4" imports you want the 5 1/4" driver ones so so much better.

According to the JBL website they only produce 100mm (4") drivers for the control one.
EDIT: Noticed they have a pro site as well :smiley:

Are these better than Microlab FC360?

Pro is 4" too but higher power, different crossover and 4ohm impedance
Within this hardy exterior, the JBL Control 1 houses a 5.25” low frequency driver and a 0.75” polycarbonate dome tweeter that together handle a maximum of 150watts and provide 114dB peak volume (SPL). The frequency range is impressive for such a compact speaker, operating within -10dB fall-off from 80Hz to 20kHz – not quite the full audible spectrum, but enough to give a good clean, warm and loud result. The crossover frequency where signal is split between the woofer and the tweeter sits at 4.2kHz, with an updated network delivering a very steep slope and providing a consistent frequency response of +/-3dB from 100Hz to 18kHz.
