Product Manuals

Q: Is the speaker designed for indoor or outdoor use?

A: This speaker is designed for indoor use.

Q: What is the size of the tweeter in this speaker?

A: This speaker has a 1 inch high-frequency compression tweeter.

Q: What is the maximum power handling of this speaker?

A: The peak power handling of this speaker is 200 watts.

Q: What is the impedance of this JBL speaker?

A: The impedance of this speaker is 4 ohms.

Q: Are floor stands included with this speaker?

A: No, matching floor stands are available separately.

Q: Does this speaker have a bass reflex design?

A: Yes, this speaker incorporates a bass reflex design.

Q: What is the size of the woofer in this speaker?

A: The speaker has a 6.5-inch advanced aluminum matrix cone woofer.

Q: Given that the specs say these are 4 ohm impedance and most receivers run at 8 or 6 ohms, what are some suggested amps or receivers for these speakers? Could i run them with a Yamaha RX-A780?

A: Under the default settings, the Yamaha RX-A780 is configured for 8Ohm speakers. You're unlikely to hurt the speakers, using an 8-ohm receiver with 4-ohm speakers. This just means that for a given voltage supplied by the receiver, the receiver is rated to send less current than it will have to power the 4-ohm speakers, so this is much more likely to hurt the receiver than the speakers. You may contact JBL Synthesis Customer Support if you have other questions and/or concerns. https://bit.ly/3uir2W7

KEF - LS50 WIRELESS II Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black
4.5(68)

When it comes to physical technology, LS50 Wireless II takes its lead from KEF’s LS50 Meta passive loudspeakers. A truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury, Metamaterial Absorption Technology1 (MAT) is a highly complex maze-like structure, where each of the intricate channels efficiently absorbs a specific frequency. When combined, the channels act as an acoustic black hole, absorbing 99% of the unwanted sound that comes from the rear of the tweeter, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing a purer, more natural sound.

    Best standmount speakers you can buy at Best Buy.

    I’ve heard and owned many standmount speakers, many of which are sold out of Best Buy’s premium Magnolia department. These are unequivocally, without of shadow of a doubt the most detailed and dynamic standmounts that you can buy from Best Buy. Bowers Diamond series can’t hang, Deftech doesn’t make anything remotely comparable, neither does Martin Logan. KEFs R3 is a gem of a speaker (seriously fantastic and a built to feel a bit more premium) but can’t hang in terms of dynamics, headroom and sounding “natural”. The JBLs can play at 96-100db with extremely low compression/distortion so those who’s systems see movie playback will be very happy. I can’t recommend these enough.
