From the Manufacturer

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

By	BigPapiT "aht3" (Brazoria, TX) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound, July 3, 2007

By	W. E. Tabor - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: JBL L890CH 8-Inch 4-Way 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great Looking Speaker! Sounds awesome!, August 20, 2008

By	Emilio Calderon "The man" (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well I finally purchased them after doing some research. Im am very satisfied and got a great speaker for the amount of money spent! Very happy! and they sound great! I recommend to anyone. Do your research and make your decision wisely. Do not get discourage by anyone. To be honest, I coudnt find a decent jbl center channel, so I complimented the L890s with a Klipsh center. Anyways I hear alot about the Klipsh this and that.......Just get yourself a HTS3600 power center and youll make any speaker sound as a high end product! I think the L890 is just as good as any high end speaker out there! Also it has one of the most attractive designs! i love it! remenber! the key is the HTS3600 TRUST ME!!!!!!! it gets the full sound clearity out any speaker!!
