Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy high-quality music and home theater performance with JBL's Northridge E20 two-way bookshelf speakers. Ideal as home, office, or bedroom speakers, or as part of a comprehensive surround sound system, the E20s employ JBL's professional audio engineering and high-quality construction to deliver elite sound and great value. JBL's exclusive 5-inch shielded PolyPlas woofer and 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter ensure a notable frequency response (68 Hz to 20 kHz), which can be boosted with the addition of a powered subwoofer. The tweeter also boasts an oval orientation called Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS), which results in a wider horizontal dispersion of sound. The idea is simple: turn every seat, even those in the corners of the room, into the best seat in the house. Additional audio enhancements include a FreeFlow flared port that minimizes distortion and thump and a Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network that preserves the original signal for additional clarity.

Though compact at 6 by 10.88 by 8.12 inches (W x H x D), the E20s pack plenty of punch, with 60 watts of continuous power handling and a max amp level of 125 watts. The speakers also offer sturdy, gold-plated five-way binding posts, which both provide a variety of secure hookup options and preserve the nuances of the source music. In addition, the E20's computer-designed, lock-mitered cabinets virtually eliminate distortion, while their slim European profiles look elegant whether stored on individual speaker stands or bookshelves. Listeners can also mount them on a wall--an ideal solution when using them as rear surround speakers.

The E20s hail from JBL's Northridge E Series, which comprises not only floorstanding and bookshelf speakers, but also center channel speakers, subwoofers, and anything else you need to create a superior surround system. All Northridge speakers are magnetically shielded to protect against video interference and are covered by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Whitehawk's JBL Bookshelf Speakers, May 12, 2007

This review is from: JBL Northridge E20 2-Way 5-Inch Bookshelf Speakers, Pair (Beech) (Electronics)

Good value for a fair price. I'm using them in the den as part of a small surround sound system; and for this application, they're just right. Might also be good in a dorm situation where they limit the "loudness". As expected, good JBL quality; and, the birch wood cabinet conveys a bit of a "coolness" factor and blends well with most any decor. Obviously, the dynamic response is short on the highs/lows...but no distortion, clipping, or "off" resonance factors noted. Have them mated to a small onkyo a/v 5.1; and would suggest that, if you had to make a choice- the money you save with these speakers should similarily be deployed into the amp. Be advised you may prefer banana speaker-wire clips to install.
