Not "used" as in did an entire mix with them, but I've certainly heard them and they're fine speakers. Below is part of a post I made a few minutes ago in a different forum (for audiophiles).

Earlier this year I was invited to speak about acoustics at the NARAS division of the Grammys, which was held at the Hit Factory / Criteria studios in North Miami. They set up three pairs of speakers in a lounge room typical of the size people use for home studios. The audience auditioned all three speakers with and without acoustic treatment, using the same music repeatedly. (I had brought one of our Standard Room Kits.) We also played the JBLs with and without RMC engaged. I forget some of the exact speaker model numbers, but one was a pair of JBL's LSR series, another was a pair of Genelecs, and the third was Yamaha NS-10s. Besides myself and the audience, there were four high-profile engineers there including Charles Dye and Eric Schilling who mixed all of Gloria Estefan's big hits from years past. At dinner afterward all four professional engineers said they thought the JBL speakers were "okay," but only when the EQ was disabled.
