Designed and engineered in our world-famous Acoustic Engineering Center of Excellence in Northridge, California, Stage 280F is the flagship of the new JBL Stage Series. This floorstanding loudspeaker features a 2.5-way design with Next Generation patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide geometry, 1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum dome tweeter, and dual 8-inch (200mm) Polycellulose cone woofers that provide deep, signature JBL bass.

  • 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.
  • Dual 8-inch (200mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers: The 280F features Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers.

    Powerful with room filling sound!

    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.
