Designed and engineered at our world-famous Acoustic Engineering Center of Excellence in Northridge, California, the Stage 260F is the midsize floorstanding loudspeaker of the 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 6.5-inch (165mm) Polycellulose ribbed cone woofers that provide deep, signature JBL bass.
- Dual 6.5-inch (165mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers: The 260F 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 260F 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 260F 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 260F 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 260F. This new flared design reduces the velocity of the air when exiting the speaker cabinet, eliminating any chuffing or coloration of output.

Excellent mains with a wide full sound
As a long-time user of JBL products, including professional studio monitors, PA and guitar speakers, headphones, and Bluetooth speakers, I was excited to try the JBL Stage 260F FloorStanding Loudspeakers. JBL has a reputation for delivering high-quality audio products, and these speakers do not disappoint. Size and Dimensions The JBL Stage 260F speakers are skinny, but tall, measuring roughly 40.5 inches tall (with carpet spikes), 12.25 inches wide (including the base), and 14.5 inches deep (including the base and magnetic speaker grill). They weigh about 40 pounds each. Despite their size and weight, the speakers are surprisingly easy to position and set up. The included rubber feet help to isolate the speakers from the floor, reducing unwanted vibrations. They have also included optional carpet spikes that are threaded and easy to install if you are using the speakers on carpet, which I am, and they stay put very well. Speakers The enclosures feature two 6.25-inch ribbed Polycellulose woofers and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter (see my attached photos). The anodized aluminum dome tweeter is housed in a waveguide that helps to disperse the sound evenly throughout the room. The woofers are mounted in a bass-reflex enclosure that provides deep, impactful bass response. After using these for hours, I can safely say that they are incredibly balanced, clear, and very loud if you are using the right receiver / power amp. Sound Quality The JBL Stage 260F speakers deliver excellent sound quality. These are currently being used as my two main speakers for my movie and gaming setup. The highs are clear and detailed, the mids are warm and natural, and the bass is deep and impactful. In my tests, I have found them to be very efficient across all frequency spectrums. Regardless of whether you're gaming or watching a blockbuster movie, these speakers deliver a pleasingly broad range of sound, ensuring that all the essential frequencies are present. I have these hooked up to the new JBL MA710 receiver and the combination is a perfect match. Please take a moment to read my review of that receiver on the Best Buy website as well. Magnetic Grilles One of the things I appreciate about these speakers is the inclusion of magnetic grilles. The grilles are easy to remove and attach, and they do a good job of protecting the speakers from dust and damage. All of my other JBL speakers use a 4-point push in speaker grille. While those are arguably more secure, I find the magnetic grilles a far easier and better choice. Design The JBL Stage 260F speakers adhere to the conventional tower speaker design concept, featuring exceptional construction that seamlessly complements various interior styles. With two colorways available, you can find a place for these speakers in just about any room. Overall The JBL Stage 260F Dual 6.25" Floor Standing Loudspeakers are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality pair of floor standing speakers. They offer superb sound quality, a stylish design, and a host of features that make them easy to integrate with your system and enjoy for years to come.

The friends your home theater needs!
I’ve only ever used JBL’s portable products, so I was excited to see what these speakers sounded like as part of a home theater system. Hooked up two Stage2 260F Floorstanding Loudspeakers and was like “Let’s crank up the volume!” I was not disappointed. The classic tower style speakers are tall and skinny, standing a little over 40 inches with the rubber feet, 12.25 inches wide and about 14 inches deep with the base and optional magnetic grill attached. They weigh about 40 pounds each, but they’re surprisingly easy to position. The rubber feet keep them grounded and from doing what I call the ‘hardwood floor dance’. And if you’re rocking carpet, the optional threaded carpet spikes are your best friends. The base, rubber feet, magnetic grill, carpet spikes, and the hex tool needed to attach the base, are all included with the speaker. Calling it a Loudspeaker is very apt considering the sound that the two 6.25-inch ribbed Polycellulose woofers and 1-inch soft dome tweeter the speaker has. The tweeter has a waveguide that spreads sound all around the room, and the woofers give that deep, punchy bass. After hours of listening, I can vouch for their clear balanced sound. Crank up the right receiver or amp, and you’re in audio heaven. I paired my speakers with the JBL MA710 receiver and it’s like they’re soulmates. Movies or gaming, music or videos, no matter the genre, these speakers deliver. Clear highs, warm mids, and bass that hits you right in the chest. And the speakers look good in the espresso color, with or without the magnetic grilles attached. They’ll blend into the room seamlessly. By the way, I like these grilles better than the old-school push-in grilles. Easy on, easy off, in case I want to switch up the look from time to time. Bottom Line: The JBL Stage 260F Floorstanding Loudspeakers has high quality sound and great design features that’ll keep you grooving for years. Like that friend who’s both cool and reliable.

Excellent speakers at a good price
Introduction: I am an audiophile and a videophile. I love music and movies. I have spent quite a bit of time setting up my home theater and listening room. It’s not magnificent, with rows of seats, but for a small living room, it looks and sounds great. I am currently running Bowers & Wilkens 685 S2 bookshelf speakers on B&W stands, a B&W a ASW608 sub, and an HTM5 center speaker. I use custom speaker cables from Tributaries Cable in Orlando Florida. When I got a chance to review the JBL Stage 2 260F floor speakers, I jumped at the chance because I like JBL, and I need a set of speakers for the bedroom. My 1st set of JBL speakers were the L62 bookshelf speakers installed on a set of steel, spiked stands filled with sand. I was always happy with them. First impression: My first impression of the JBL Stage 2 260F Speakers is that they are solid, very well made, and extremely well packaged. Each speaker came double wrapped in thick, sturdy cardboard, with Styrofoam top and bottom caps and a center brace. They are quite heavy, and the packaging held up nicely. The base is heavy and solid, and everything went together perfectly. The hardware is high quality, and the included Allen wrench makes installation tool free from my end. What’s in Each Box: • 1 x 260F Speaker • 1 x Plinth • 4 x Mounting Screws • 4 x Floor Spikes • 1 x Allen Wrench • 1 x Speaker Grille • 1 x Safety Sheet • 1 x Quick-Start Guide Technical Specifications: • Speaker Type: Floorstanding • Enclosure Type: Ported • Peak Power Handling: 225 watts • Impedance: 6 ohms • Minimum Fqcy Response: 40 hertz • Maximum Fqcy Response: 25 kilohertz • Sensitivity: 90 decibels • Tweeter Type: Dome • Woofer Type: Cone • Number of Tweeters: 1 • Tweeter Size: 1” • Number of Woofers: 2 • Woofer Size: 6.5” • Speaker Connectivity: Wired • Wireless Multi-Room Audio: No • Speaker Wire Connector: Binding posts • Outdoor Use: Indoor • Product Height: 40.8” • Product Width: 12.2” • Product Depth: 14.3” • Product Weight: 43.3 pounds • Color: Espresso Setup: Setup for these speakers is done by careful placement. These are ported speakers, and the distance from the wall makes a serious difference in quality of low frequencies. And my viewing room is small, so I also need to point them inwards some to get the correct balance and imaging. This took about two days of trial and error. Once I found the placement, I pressed down on the speakers so that the spikes pierced the carpet and made a good connection to the cement floor. Performance: For this review, I used Apple Music for audio, and Netflix for video. I also turned off the subwoofer so I can only hear these speakers. Let me start by saying these speakers are efficient. It doesn’t take much power for these speakers to really open up. And they sound amazing regardless of what I feed through them. Of course, the quality of the source makes a big difference, but apples to apples, these speakers sound great. The first step was streaming from Netflix. We streamed multiple movies, finding movies that had full range, and chose some movies that I knew had deep and punchy bass. In every case, the audio was full and clear, and the lows had punch and were tight. The lows filled the room but did not dominate it nor did it waffle or distort. The mids and highs were clear and crisp. Next was the audio. I spent quite a bit of time listening to various genres of music to get a full picture of these speakers. I listened to easy listening and instrumental music to hear how precise and clean the speakers sounded. I listened to rock and metal to hear how the speakers could handle grinding guitars and punchy drums. I listened to hip-hop and funk to hear how well the speakers can handle a wide range of bass, and I listened to EDM to see how well they handled digital punchy music in a wide range of frequencies. In every Genre, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these speakers. The audio coming from these JBL’s was magnificent. But the real surprise was the quality of the sound while listening to instrumentals. It was difficult to believe that they were the same speakers that were shaking the room watching explosions from movies a few days earlier. Conclusion: The JBL Stage 2 260F floor speakers are a set of really good sounding speakers. They work consistently well over a wide variety of music and movies, and never once let me down. Having used high-end speakers for a long time now, I was pleasantly surprised at these. I’ve always liked JBL products, but it is apparent that they are entering the high-end market at a reasonable price. For my home theater, they just replaced the 2 B&W bookshelf speakers, which are now going in the bedroom. If you want a set of efficient, great sounding speakers for a reasonable price for the quality of sound you get from them, I highly recommend the JBL Stage 2 260F speakers.
