JBL - Stage2 240B 2-Way 4.5-inch (114mm) Bookshelf Loudspeaker - Pair - Espresso

Incredibly easy to set up and great quality. Best bang for your buck sound wise

I purchased this pair of speakers to use in our basement recreation room, hooking them up to an older Sony amplifier and CD player and turntable. The sound quality is excellent! I'd happily purchase another pair for TV speakers!

Bought as a gift for our record player set up, they work perfectly! Hooked up to the receiver and the latte color looks great.

JBL awesome speakers! Always been a great company in the audio field!

I bought this product before I bought my JBL receiver quite satisfied with the sound. I’ll be getting a pair of the larger version pretty soon. The JBL25B

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new generation JBL Stage 240B (Bookshelf) 4.5" speaker set is a part of an entirely new Stage series of speakers offered by JBL. There are several offerings included in the new lineup including subwoofers, wedge type speakers, floor standing speakers as well as a center channel speaker. These 2 way speakers feature a 1" aluminum dome tweeter as well as a 4.5" polycellulose cone woofer paired with JBL's patented HDI Waveguide for exceptional bookshelf sound. The speakers are a mere 10" tall, 8" wide, and 12" deep. Included in the box are owners manual, foot pads, speaker set and magnetic grilles. Speaker wire is sold separately. The set is available in two color configurations including Espresso (black/this test) and Latte which is a cream color. For this test and review I used Austere Audio 12 Gauge copper free high flex speaker cable. The speakers connected quickly and effortlessly thru standard quick connect speaker posts to our new JBL MA310 AV Receiver. The Stage 240B set fit perfectly on on home entertainment center and blended well with our furniture finishes. The set has a mahogany dark wood grain wood finish and is very attractive and sleek addition to our current setup. The 240B set was paired with the JBL Sound Bar 1000 system to complete a movie watchers/music lovers audiophile dream. Sound is phenomenal (as with all JBL products) and was tested on several action packed movies as well as a variety of music genres. The set delivers crisp dialogue and dynamic sound effects while providing a powerful and balanced range of ear candy. Movies and music were even more refined with the adding of these bookshelf masterpieces to our current setup. Very impressive performance and sound footprint from the smallest bookshelf speakers the Stage series has to offer. The 240B provides the signature deep and powerful bass that JBL is synonymous for and is a welcomed addition to the JBL (and our home theater) lineup. These speakers are a must have for any budget conscious audio freak looking to build a speaker system in stages or all at once. Incredible sound and the JBL reputation for excellence... who could ask for anything more?
