I'm beyond impressed with the accuracy and clarity of the newer JBL line. The dialog is so clear and the JBL receiver is perfectly matched.

This subwoofer adds lovely, rich, low tones to the audio. This is a powered subwoofer and knows when to go into standby mode. A phase adjustment switch ensures that the subwoofer is in phase with the main speakers. There is a dial to control the crossover point. The crossover is the highest frequency that the subwoofer produces sound. It is an excellent capability that allows you to adjust depending on the location of the subwoofer. Finally, there is volume control. The subwoofer uses LFE input from the receiver. The LFE cable is not included with the speaker, so make sure to buy one when you buy the speaker. The subwoofer looks excellent. There is a magnetically attachable front fabric cover for the speaker. This allows you to expose the bare speaker or to dress it up. The subwoofer looks excellent.

JBL Stage2 240B Dual 4.5" Bookshelf Speakers in Espresso The JBL Stage 2 240B Bookshelf Speakers have a dark wood-toned veneer, an all black front baffle and color-matched horn. The black Grill is magnetic and has an orange silicon ring on the back to protect the speaker's finish if you choose to remove the Grills. This speaker is part of JBL's line of component-based audio and is designed to take the guesswork out of system matching. They are very attractive and provide an impressive performance from a small-footprint speaker. These speakers feature a 2-way design with Next Generation patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) waveguide geometry, 1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum dome tweeter, and a 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose ribbed cone woofer that provides a deep, signature JBL bass. Coming in at 10.1 pounds, you can feel the heft with the size only at 10.7in x 6.9in x 8.5in. They are impressive enough to be used as main speakers or surrounds. FEATURES: • 4.5-inch (114mm) Polycellulose Ribbed Cone Woofers • Precision 2-Way Crossover • Next Generation HDI Horn • 1-inch (25mm) Anodized Aluminum Tweeter • 5-Way Binding Posts • Magnetically Attached Grilles • Integrated Wall Mount Bracket • ¼-20 Insert for Aftermarket Mounts • Anti-Slip Pads The speakers are small enough and light enough to be placed almost anywhere in the room. They have 1/4Inch x20 inserts on the back panel for aftermarket mounts. JBL includes port plugs to install when mounting on the wall to contour and tighten the bass. They also include Anti-Slip pads. The speakers were balanced and crisp and worked well in music, movies, and shows, giving them a realistic quality. I swapped out my 3ft tower speakers to see how these compared, and I couldn't tell a difference. These speakers perform excellently and are affordable.
