JBL L890

 

Batten down the hatches, the JBL L890s are in town. This mean pair of speakers certainly packs a punch, so be prepared for some complaints from the ne...

Good looks, great sound, reasonable price

Slightly flat mid-range sound at lower volumes

An excellent choice for anyone wanting speakers that marry performance with power

JBL Studio L890

 

A surprisingly neutral, yet powerful, set of speakers which require a bit of space but are well worth the money if you have a large set-up.

Even-handed, beautiful sound. Easy to drive, but reward good amplification. Solidly constructed.

Huge. Sort of ugly. But that's it.

JBL L890 CH

 

For the price I paid, there is little I can complain about. These speaker need better than average components to realize their full potential. After over 40 hrs of listening using first, my Denon AV-3802 receiver, then using Emotiva XPA-3 Amplifier,...

With good amplification and enough "break in" period: Excellent tonal balance and soundstaging that will not tire you, presenting excellent detail and musicality ; These speakers can get really loud (highs SPL's without distortion) ; The cherry vinyl...

For music bass is not adequate enough. For fuller bass representation a subwoofer is needed. This is the reason I give then a four starts rating ; the list price of almost $1700/pair is too much. If you were to actually pay this much for L890's, I...

I purchased a pair of JBL L890 speakers on 8/25/07. When I received them, their visual appearance was very sexy from top to bottom, that of, style and grace. The wood veneer finish and rounded edges helped to create a luxury looking piece of furniture....
