Older model: the JBL Stage A120 (ranked lower, rated 2.5/5). See every JBL Arena and Stage generation.
Same family: the JBL Stage 250B (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, rated 3.2/5), the JBL Stage 2 260F (smaller floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the JBL Stage 2 280F (larger floorstanding, rated 3.4/5), the JBL Stage 2 245C (center, estimated 3.2/5), the JBL Stage 200P (smaller subwoofer, estimated 3.5/5) and the JBL Stage 220P (larger subwoofer, estimated 3.7/5).
Pros: A compact bookshelf speaker with an aluminum tweeter in a waveguide, offered in espresso, latte and black ash finishes. Two-way bookshelf with a 1” anodized aluminum dome tweeter in JBL’s HDI waveguide and a 4.5” polycellulose woofer crossed over at 1.4kHz. JBL rates it at 53Hz to 25kHz (±6dB) and 85dB sensitivity with a 6 ohm load. Espresso, latte and black ash finishes.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Rated bass stops at 53Hz (±6dB), so plan on a subwoofer for full-range listening.
