Customer Ratings & Reviews

I chose these over the KEF-550s, which cost 3x more. I've had these for a week, but I ordered the KEFs over the weekend. I own JBLs. I have a mini-bookshelf pair sitting under the big TV powered by an SAE 50 watts/rms/ch amplifier. The TV has RCA outputs. I am also getting my wife to bring down my JBL Northridge Series N26II speakers I bought 22 years ago from Best Buy. They have the same specs, but I think they sound much better. I'm swapping these with her for the N26's. My KEFs will be arriving on Thurday. I have a Rotel Power Amp/PreAmp combo putting 100 watts into 8ohms/200 watts into 4 ohms. They were powering a pair of Magneplanar SMGs, but I appear to have damaged the right speaker. I didn't want to spend 3Gs on new replacements. Don't get me wrong. These speakers are okay, but for God sake - it's JBL. I recall the legendary JBL 4301s from the late 70s or early 80s. I chose the B&W DM400s over those. I was poor back then, but I wish I could have owned the JBL 4301s too. Cheers.

This pair of JBL bookshelf speakers live up to the JBL reputation. They provide a good balanced sound for their size. I have them connected to a Pioneer Receiver- Amplifier VSX - 515 and NAD CD player. I love the sound. I do plan to get a JBL bar speaker to boost the surround sound. Love these little speakers.

Decent speakers that look pretty good on the shelf. Online reviews weren’t that great for die hard folks but they sound good to me and were a really good value.

Great flat response curve that allows me to EQ music to my tastes. Excellent clarity and volume with a turntable and small Class D amp.

Great sound clean look nice speakers, I put these in the garage but they worked great in the house too

They look super classic and High end. I got the one in Latte. I like my speaker with the grill on. Easy set up, Excellent sound Quality. Would love to have floor speaker with JBL in future.

Great speaker, works well and has great sound quality.

These speakers sound excellent, and they fit very neatly on my bookshelf. I've never had JBL speakers that were anything other than excellent.

I ordered these speakers because I had previously bought the JBL Studio 530 speakers and I really liked their sound. These speakers do not sound as good as the 530s to my ears, but they were also not quite as expensive. I have since hooked them up to a Wiim amp and I use them as remote Airplay speakers and I am happy with that use case.

Speakers are well made and stylish. The sound is pretty flat in the midrange with slight bumps in the low and high end. Comparing to something like a Klipsch, these will be less of a 'forward' sound with vocals with everything more even and spread across the soundstage.

Great sound from a bookshelf speaker with clear highs and solid lows for the size. Beautiful finish and solid construction of the speaker cabinet. Would work well in a medium to small sized room. Came well packaged and easy to setup. Paired up well with a good amplifier for loud but accurate highs and mid range.

I enjoy the sound quality of these speakers. I had been in the market for a new pair to upgrade some 30 year old ones. Definitely worth the price

I bought this set of speakers and I am very satisfied with them. They sound terrific. The gentleman helping us was very knowledgeable and a huge asset in helping us find the right product.

I PULLED MY 80'S KENWOOD STEREO OUT OF STORAGE & NEDEDED SOME NEW SPEAKERS.......... THE JBL STAGE2 SPEAKERS SOUND FANTASTIC !! MY OLE KENWOOD SYSTEM IS ALIVE & WELL !! NOT TO MENTION WORKING IN THE SHOP IS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERINCE TO SAY THE LEAST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JBL PRODUCTS...

Great speakers. Wish they were a little less expensive, but still worth it. I use them with my MA710 amp by JBL, as my rear surround speakers. They sound great!! I am sure they would do even better as bookshelf main speakers.

Very loud once connected to an amp. Sound quality better than expected. Wish the 250 had a bracket ok the back for hanging like the 240.

The salesman listened to what I was seeking for my sound system in my living space. The JBL speakers sound great and fill the room with excellent clarity .I am also very happy with the Sony turntable for my vinyl. All in all a very positive experience .

Added the speakers to my newly purchased sony An1000, great sound.

These speakers, connected to and old JVC 505 receiver, are being used in a very large room, and the depth and range of sound is amazing.

Only had the speakers for a short period. Tried to use them with a Pioneer SX1250 but it is simply to much. I believe they are good speakers and will use them for other applications. They do look good and will do fine for things under 100 watts.
