The Peak of JBL Stage 2 Performance
The flagship of JBL’s superb Stage 2 series, the Stage 280F floor-standing speaker boasts signature JBL bass in spades. Whether on its own or paired with a Stage 240H for immersive audio applications, the Stage 280F supplies a thundering bass response down to 33Hz thanks to its dual 8-inch polycellulose ribbed-cone woofers. These mighty woofers ensure that every sonic detail strikes with the utmost weight and authority, from movie night to your favorite tunes. The woofer is paired with a 1-inch anodized aluminum tweeter that supplies crisp high-end detail, along with JBL’s HDI (High-definition Imaging) waveguide geometry to ensure minimal diffraction, superb directivity, and neutral on-/off-axis response. And while each speaker in the Stage 2 series sports high-class aesthetic appointments, you also get an array of functional upgrades, including 5-way binding posts, dedicated Dolby Atmos posts, anti-slip pads, a floating front baffle, and magnetically attached grilles. For those who require uncompromising cinema-grade sound from their home audio rig, JBL Lifestyle’s Stage 280F floor-standing speakers fit the bill.
Premier Stage 2 woofers and tweeters
JBL Stage 2 series speakers come equipped with top-quality polycellulose ribbed-cone woofers crafted from pure pulp and a proprietary mix of cutting-edge materials. This rigidity-enhancing construction allows Stage 2 series woofers to replicate your favorite music with a rich and powerful response that fills the room with deep bass. To take care of your high-end information, the woofer is then paired with an anodized aluminum tweeter in JBL’s next-generation HDI waveguide — JBL tells Sweetwater that this combo results in superior directivity, decreased diffraction, and a neutral frequency response both off- and on-axis.
Aesthetic elegance and functional features
Pairing handsome appointments with high-end construction, JBL Stage 2 speakers boast elegant enclosures that impart a modern touch to any listening environment. From their rock-solid 5-way binding posts to their anti-slip pads to their floating baffles, Stage 2 speakers are designed with peak functionality in mind. And for those who prefer to show off their speakers’ cones in all their aesthetic glory, you’ll love the JBL Stage 2 series’ magnetically attached grille design.
A perfect match for 240H height channel speakers
The Stage 280F floor-standing speaker is the perfect sonic (and literal) platform for the Stage 2 series’ 240H height channel speakers, thanks to its dedicated 5-way Dolby Atmos binding posts. These posts hide wiring for a cleaner appearance, resulting in the 240H and your 280F coming together for a truly seamless aesthetic. What’s more, you also get covers to hide the posts if you don’t need them in your setup.
