Designed and engineered at our world-famous Acoustic Engineering Center of Excellence in Northridge, California, the Stage 250B is largest bookshelf loudspeaker of the JBL Stage Series. It provides impressive performance from a small footprint. The 250B's are versatile enough to be used as main speakers or surrounds. This loudspeaker features a 2-way design with Next Generation patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide geometry, 1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum dome tweeter, and a 5.25-inch (130mm) Polycellulose ribbed cone woofer that provides deep, signature JBL bass.
- 5.25-inch (130mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofer: Each speaker in the Stage 2 series features Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers. This pure pulp cone has a proprietary mix of other materials added to improve its rigidity and the ribs echo legendary JBL designs. These woofers produce deep, accurate, room filling bass.
- 1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum Tweeter in a Next Generation HDI Waveguide: Through intense research of previous waveguide designs, JBL has developed a new complex geometry that improves directivity, reduced diffraction, and an overall neutral frequency response both on and off axis. The Stage 2 HDI Horn is coupled to an anodized aluminum dome tweeter to enhance efficiency and dynamics. This new design offers a neutral frequency response both on and off axis.
- Precision 2.5-Way Crossover: Premium components are used to construct the crossovers fitted to the Stage 2 line. The High frequency section features air core inductors and mylar capacitors that reduce distortion and improve sonic performance. The low frequency section includes laminate core inductors and electrolytic capacitors. These premium materials can handle more power and transmit energy faster elevating system performance.

Good looking & sounding to build a surround setup.
These are a very good value-for-the-money pair of speakers. I was looking for a more budget-friendly, good-sounding, aesthetically pleasing option for my living room setup. I already have a dedicated HT room, but still wanted something smaller that would blend well with my living room without standing out too much. While it’s not very hard to find good-value, relatively-good sounding speakers, it seems the great majority of them come in some sort of black or dark brown color, and it makes it hard to integrate them into a more modern space. If you want a white/lighter option that still sounds good, you almost have to be ready to spend considerably more, as the great majority seem to go for $500+ per speaker. These were one of very few options of pairs of speakers with good quality, without going north of $500 dollars, and that at the same time would allow you to expand the sound into a full surround, and even Atmos, setup while staying aesthetically pleasing for a more modern living room. They have decent bass for bookshelf speakers under $500, but a dedicated sub is always better whenever possible. These 250B’s are the bigger bookshelf option in the JBL Stage 2 line of speakers. The Latte/white colors work great for a living room, common area, and/or more modern space. If budget allows, I would recommend pairing these with the sub, the center speaker, and the 240B’s speakers from the Stage 2 line to complete a 5.1 surround setup. JBL also has height speakers in the same line for a full Atmos setup. They even have floor standing options in the same colors if you want something even bigger but still in these lighter colors. I am currently using these 250B’s as the fronts, and a pair of 240B’s as the surrounds, with future plans to eventually add the sub, center, and height speakers for a full Atmos setup. One thing to note if these 250B’s do not come with the holes, nor the hardware, needed to wall mount them. So you would need some sort of stand(s) or bookshelves as it is not recommended to place them on the floor. After using my receiver’s calibration (Audyssey MultEQ XT32 with iOS app), the speakers, combined with the room correction, resulted in a very good frequency response. They won’t work miracles, but the combination of quality, price, and aesthetics is hard to beat. And the good thing about this line of speakers is that, with the right receiver to drive them, you can start small with a simple stereo setup, and little by little add more of the speakers to have a 5.1 surround sound setup, and if desired, eventually complete a full 7.1.4 surround/height speaker setup while all the speakers blend well together sound-wise, and the lighter colors makes them easier to integrate into more modern areas (which would help those with a WAF-Wife Acceptance Factor). Recommended to those looking for a good value set of speakers that (now or later) want a surround and/or Atmos setup but also have a WAF, or simply want a lighter color option for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
