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.
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.
Rear-Firing Tuned Port
A flared port is featured on the 250B. This new flared design reduces the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any chuffing or coloration of output.
Anti-Slip Pads
The 250B includes anti slip pads to hold the speaker securely in place, minimize vibrations.

Sharp Looking Hi Bookshelf Speaker Set!
These JBL Stage 2-250B speakers pair well with the matching JBL MA 510 AVR system. If you add the JBL Stage 220 P Sub-Woofer the sound quality is terrific. This provides a very nice upgrade to a Soundbar system. The is modern look in the Espresso color also goes well in a traditional environment. When combined with the matching JBL MA 510 AVR, the system is easy to set up once you gather sources for content and the necessary wiring for speakers taking twenty to thirty minutes for a 2.1 channel, stand-alone system without permanent installation such as with hidden cables. This would certainly beef up your gaming audio if you chose to do so. Otherwise, if you are planning to install the system permanently, it obviously takes a lot more planning than I committed to. I would highly recommend opting for the Center and Surround Speakers to bring the system up to 5.1 channels. In summary, I really like these speakers paired with the JBL MA 510 system due to the quality, good looks and amazing sound! Additionally, this pair of speakers is part of a nice upgrade from a simple sound bar as a home theater starter system that you can add to over time if you choose.

Perfect for my Game Room
This is my first time using JBL bookshelf speakers, and I have to say unpleasantly surprised with what they can do. The packaging on these was excellent besides being properly secured in foam they had this really nice mylar bag wrapped around him as an extra layer of security and it’s so nice. You can actually save it for the next time you need to do it, which is much better than those mylar slips that they used to do…this actually has a tie off. It goes without saying, but you need to provide speaker cables for these. I ended up going with a set of audio quest, X2 cables and their gold plated banana plugs. The hardest part about getting the speaker set up was getting the little plug out of the back so I could put the banana plug-in🤣🤣 Sound quality is excellent for what I needed to do. It’s crisp loud and you can hear all the nuances of the games that you’re playing. As far as volume is concerned, you can really crank these up before you lose distortion, granted this is for a very simple 2.1 set up however it’s more than enough power that if you’re playing a game you love and you wanna crank it up for a favorite scene…they can handle the power!!
