JBL Studio 290 Dual 8-Inch 3-Way Floorstanding Loudspeaker

The Speaker Has Now Taken the Floor

There’s home theater and then there’s the full-on JBL home theater experience. As a member of the 10-piece JBL Studio 2 loudspeaker series, the Studio 290 3-way dual 8” floorstanding speaker vaults you into a world where legacy sound-craft and leading technology shape a listening experience that carries the kind of power and precision you’ve only ever heard at movie theaters. The Studio 290 loudspeaker packs dual 8” PolyPlas drivers that bring you the vocal clarity and the tight, accurate bass that are hallmarks of the Studio 2 Series. Not only that, a built-in High Definition Imaging (HDI) waveguide design and a 1” CMMD Lite high-frequency driver bring you a loudspeaker that takes its performance cues from JBL’s own legendary M2 Master Reference Monitor. Combine all this with the sleek, urbane design of the loudspeaker itself — both inside and out — and you’re dealing with a speaker ready to define this era.
