These speakers are big, powerful, and they look absolutely great in my living room! I’ve been using them for a week now and I have nothing but good things to say. The JBL Stage2 280F floorstanding loudspeakers are a sound powerhouse that deliver an exceptional audio experience no matter what content you are enjoying. Whether you're watching movies, listening to music, or playing some game on your gaming console, these speakers are going to give you the sound that you’re looking for that really brings you into the game and lifts your contents audio to the next level. They feature dual 8-inch polycellulose woofers and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter, allowing them to produce deep, rich bass, crisp highs, and a nicely balanced mid range, and ensuring that every note and sound effect is perfect and precise. The speakers came extremely well packaged with thick foam at the top, bottom and mid section of the box. They are also double boxed in a strong heavy cardboard, ensuring that they arrive safe and free from damage. Unboxing them with just one person was a little tricky, but manageable for myself. Somebody smaller who has a problem lifting will definitely need help, if you want to preserve the box for future use if you ever move. One of the most impressive features to me is their ability to handle a wide range of audio content with no problem whatsoever. The 2.5-way design ensures that each frequency band is delivered smoothly, without any distortion, even at higher volume levels. These speakers are perfect for large rooms where you want to fill the space with immersive sound and they also work great in midsize rooms, like my living room, giving me a full audio experience that envelops me unlike any other speakers I’ve used. I really do love the design of the Stage2 280F speakers. They have a bold look with a sleek and modern appearance, especially when you take off the speaker covers to show off the speakers and design. The espresso finish looks great in my living room and matches my decor perfectly. I really think these speakers can add a touch of sophistication to any home theater setup. The speakers are pretty big, so make sure you take measurements before you order them. I have a midsize living room and they are almost too big, but I’m okay with that personally. However, keep in mind that JBL does make a smaller model, for smaller rooms, if you're interested in maximizing your space. Also keep this in mind when considering the placement of the speakers, in relation to any other speakers you are going to be using with your set up. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone looking to up their audio game to the next level of performance. Overall, the JBL Stage2 280F speakers are an outstanding pair of floor standing speakers that offer the perfect balance of power and precision with a touch of style, making this set a great addition to any serious audio enthusiast's home speaker set up.
