Features

  • Dual 8-inch (200mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers

    The 280F 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.

  • Compatible with 240H Atmos Module

    The 280F mates perfectly with the 240H to add Dolby Atmos to your system for an enhanced listening experience. Dedicated Atmos 5-way binding posts hide the wiring and create a seamless appearance.

  • Precision 2.5-Way Crossover

    The 280F floorstanding model features a unique two and a half-way crossover design. This unique design crosses over the top woofer right below the tweeter’s output, while the other woofer is crossed over at a lower frequency. This creates a dynamic mid-range but both woofers still extend as deep as they can go for powerful bass. This produces cohesive balanced output with a robust low end that can be both heard and felt.

  • 5-Way Binding Posts

    Sturdy 5-way binding posts provide the listener with their choice of high-quality connection. They also match the binding posts on the JBL MA AVRs, carrying the cohesive look throughout.

  • Magnetically Attached Grilles

    Stage 2 has premium details throughout the line including magnetically attached grilles, unique trim rings and the floating front baffle design - upscale features not typically found on loudspeakers in this price range.

  • Dedicated ATMOS 5-Way Binding Posts with Integrated Wire Management

    The 280F features dedicate Atmos 5-way biding posts at the bottom and top of the speaker. This unique design hides the wiring providing a clean uncluttered look.. If the Atmos terminal are not used a cover is provided.

  • Dual Flared Racetrack Rear-Firing Tuned Ports

    Dual racetrack flared ports are featured on the 280F. This new flared design reduces the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any chuffing or coloration of output.

    Outstanding looks, performance and value!!

    I am using a beautiful pair of JBL Stage2 280F tower speakers in what is called a "Latte" finish that I chose for it being so well matched with the Silver/Gold Marantz Model 60n I recently bought at the same time. Their dual 8" sub/mid-range drivers ensure that I have no need of a separate subwoofer and the high sensitivity rating of 91db and 6 ohm rating are well suited to the 60 watts per channel output of the Model 60n. The 60n is Class A/B which is important to a great many people in the Audio world and in the case of Marantz and their build quality, is indicative of Marantz's superb componentry and attention to detail. The JBLs are a very high quality pair of affordable and beautifully styled speakers rated at 91db Sensitivity and therefor highly efficient and play both with great detail and if you so wish, extremely loud. I think highly of JBL's offerings and have been an audio and video enthusiast for well over 50 years now and am a retired Electronics Technician with 39 years of experience so I know what I want and why. Build quality, performance and value. The JBL Stage2 280F speakers have all 3, otherwise I would not have spent my own money on them. The highest recommendation is often putting your money where your mind knows it is best spent. I did just that when I bought these beautiful tower speakers!

    Bad inspector for open box speaker

    I bought two of these speakers. One of them was an open box and the other was new. I the open box speaker came without protection foam and was destroyed bad shape. All the corners were smashed on top. Also missing hardware had to go to local Best Buy. They had a new one had to pay more money not happy.

Questions & Answers

  • What’s the width of the speakers baffle? In the description, it says that it’s 14 inches wide, but I’m assuming that’s counting the base.
