The JBL L890 8-Inch 4-Way Dual Floorstanding Loudspeaker - Patented FreeFlow Port Design

We hear you.

JBL Studio L delivers studio quality music and theater quality movies right to your own living room

The JBL line of Studio L loudspeakers features many of the same design principles and technologies that make the JBL brand the only choice for today’s recording professionals. They have numerous mounting possibilities, and a high-end finish that comes in black or a stunning cherry. So let JBL Studio L speakers make your living room’s sound as incredible as that heard in a professional recording studio.

Mylar® Ultrahigh-Frequency Driver

The JBL L890s take sound into the high-definition world by incorporating an ultra-high frequency driver capable of reproducing frequencies out past 40 kHz. Why is this important? That’s the realm of high-definition audio and the frequency response of today’s high-resolution sources such as Blu-ray Disc.™ Made of Mylar, this UHF driver is loaded into a patented JBL Bi-Radial® horn so that high frequencies have a wide and uniform dispersion, which means smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. The L880s will deliver a more realistic sound experience.

The Studio L890's ultra-high frequency driver is perfect for delivering stunning detail from today's high resolution sources such as Blu-ray Disc™

The Studio L890's titanium tweeter is both strong and light weight

Straight-Line Signal Path Networks

The most direct path for producing the cleanest, most accurate sound possible is in a straight line. JBL uses Straight-line Signal Path Networks in the L890s to ensure that the signal from the 5-way binding posts all the way through to the transducers is the most direct signal path possible. Add heavy-duty bypass capacitors and a 4-way crossover design not found in many floorstanding loudspeakers, and the result is a clear, accurate signal no matter what the volume. So turn it up. The L890s are perfect for demanding music and movie soundtracks.

1-Inch Pure-Titanium Tweeter

When it comes to accurately reproducing all of the high frequencies from your favorite movie or the vocals from your favorite song, the L890s use technology straight from the recording studio. The JBL L890s features a 1-inch pure-titanium-dome tweeter; titanium’s strength and light weight make it perfect for quickly and accurately reproducing high frequencies without strain or distortion. Titanium is the material of choice for many JBL professional music monitors, and the L890s are based on our professional models. And a patented JBL EOS waveguide ensures that high frequencies will have a wide and uniform dispersion, which results in smooth high-frequency sound over a large listening area. You’ll hear the detail in your music and movies as you’ve never heard it before.

The Studio L890's dual woofers deliver bass effortlessly and with maximum impact

Dual 8-Inch PolyPlas™ Woofer

The JBL brand name is synonymous with bass so its important that the L890s deliver the ultimate in rich, deep bass. To deliver this bass, the L890s use a patented JBL PolyPlas™ driver material for the woofer cones. PolyPlas material has both strength and a light weight, so bass is reproduced effortlessly and with maximum impact. To ensure maximum bass response, the L890s employ dual 8-inch woofers for the absolute lowest frequency extension. JBL also uses a patented FreeFlow port design that reduces unwanted port noise and ensures the deepest bass notes sound tight and distortion free. And, finally, to make sure that the bass is not affected by any unwanted resonances, the L890s use a JBL IsoPower™ baffle design, and ultra- rigid enclosures. The result? Incredibly deep and accurate bass response that delivers a much more natural and realistic surround sound experience worthy of the world’s best recording studio and movie theaters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the money, March 27, 2007

This review is from: JBL L890 4-Way, High Performance 8-inch Dual Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) (Electronics)

I have had these speakers for a little over a month and they sound great. Even though I have a subwoofer, they sound great by themselves. In my opinion, this is a true full range speaker. The detailed highs, pronounced mid and deep lows make this speaker a winner. I not only recommend this speaker, I also recommend the rest of the Studio L line. One word of caution....they will sound really bright at first but they will calm down.

This review is from: JBL L890 4-Way, High Performance 8-inch Dual Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased a complete Studio L home theater anchored by the L890 over a month ago, and after breaking them in with every style of music, I can can say that these speakers truly deliver the goods. On acoustic Jazz, you can hear into the performance, with a deep and wide soundstage and terrific articulation of each instrument. Bass is full and natural with a solid feeling of the body of the instrument. Horns sound real and arc across the front of my room. The music in 2 channel analog direct mode on my Sony STR-DA5400ES reciever makes my music come to life. These speakers are well balanced from top to bottom, and never emphasize one part of the audio spectrum over another. On Classical music, orchestras sound powerful, and the strings sound rich and full. The speakers present a sweeping panorama of sound. Organs go deep and sound powerful, in fact I can feel the sound of the organ in my chest. Beethoven and Mahler sound like you are there in the concert hall. Rock music really comes alive with drive and punch. The 2 8inch woofers go deep and remind me of how classic stereo speakers used to sound. Every CD or LP I play comes to life and reminds me why I love to listen to music as much as I do. On Blu-Ray movies and concerts, the sound is even more mindblowing than on music. Dialog thru the matching center channel is crisp and clear. The L890's deliver the rest of the sonic goods with clear, rich and involving sound. Explosions and special effects are presented better than in the finest cinema houses. I wall mounted the JBL Studio L matching rear speakers and now enjoy a seamless and truly enveloping sound expierence with every film. On concerts, the DTS-Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD provided by my Sony BDP-S550 Blu-Ray player and matching surround sound reciever deliver a stunning recreation of sound. Over the years I have owned a number of outstanding audio speakers, from B&W Nautilus to Paradigmn Studio 100's, but no speaker, regardless of cost, as given me the complete home audio sound I was seeking for both music and movies. Many speakers sound great on one or the other, but not both. With the JBL Studio L speakers, I have finally found the complete audio nirvana I have sought for so long. And at these prices on Amazon, I was able to purchase the entire 5.0 suite for a fraction of their original retail cost. An astounding audio bargain at full price, but at half or less this is a no brainer. A true old school classic yet with state of the art engineering and great build quality, JBL has produced a modern audio classic. I highly recommend these speakers without reservation and would strongly encourage anyone in the market for either a stereo pair or a complete home theatre to dive in and open your ears to the sound of music and film delivered with the realism and detail so often missing in most systems. You won't regret it.

This review is from: JBL L890CH 4-Way, High Performance 8-inch Dual Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Cherry) (Electronics)

I bought these because I trust JBL. I have a pair of JBL Decade L-26 speakers that are 33 years old and going strong. Originally I was going to buy some Polks and use them as my rear channel. I listened to the JBL Venue series and was not too impressed, the Studio L's blew them away. They sounded so good my old JBL's will be the rear channel now.
