Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
JBL's 26BE two-way, 6-inch bookshelf loudspeakers are part of the company's Studio Series and come in beech color. With features such as JBL's Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) wave guide, an oversized Kapton voice coil, and HeatScape motor structures, these speakers produce sound with spaciousness and definition.

The speakers are magnetically shielded for distortion-free placement near video monitors and offer 150-watt maximum power handling, 48 to 20,000 Hz frequency response, 87 dB sensitivity, and 8-ohm nominal impedance. Also featured in the JBL S26 model is a 6-inch PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) woofer and a 1-inch pure titanium dome tweeter. The woofer is built on a cast aluminum frame, which reduces distortion and increases power-handling capability.

A low-diffraction IsoPower baffle directs the sound power into the room, reducing distortion caused by cabinet vibration. The computer-designed enclosure requires no bracing. The FreeFlow flared port increases bass response without adding unwanted port noise. JBL's custom-designed drivers allow the use of simple, Straight-line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks with high-quality electrical components that minimize processing that could otherwise degrade the signal.

JBL's S26BE speakers are equipped with all-metal, five-way, gold-plated binding-post speaker terminals. These speakers include a two-year parts and labor warranty on the speaker enclosures and a five-year parts and labor warranty on the speaker driver and internal components.

Product Description:
Ever wonder why JBL loudspeakers are number one in theaters and recording studios throughout the world? Find out for yourself. Studio Series speakers use the same high-tech components and technologies as JBL's professional models - only the styling has been changed. Titanium-dome tweeters with EOS waveguides offer up crisp, clear highs and scintillating detail, while PolyPlas-coated cones in cast-aluminum baskets pound out deep, rich lows. And notice that they could play really, really loud and clean with almost any amplifier or receiver. A broad range of floor-standing and bookshelf models, complemented by a voice-matched center-channel speaker, make Studio Series speakers adaptable to almost any requirement. They prove, once again, that nobody does it better than JBL.This 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker with MDF enclosure and Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide reproduces sound with unparalleled spaciousness and definition. The PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone woofer features traditional JBL engineering; the same technologies used in JBL's professional equipment that can be found in stadiums, music halls and movie theaters around the world. Shielded components allow placement near video monitors. High-temperature, oversized Kapton voice coil and HeatScape motor structure allow these speakers to effortlessly play all types of movies and music.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully accurate sound! Awesome response!.......2004-03-18

I Purchased these as rear speakers to complete surround sound set.
I had no idea that they would sound sooo nice!
They have a wonderful range of response and the resolution is great! After plugging them in, I ended up routing all power just to them and listening to a full symphony from my rear speakers!
Solid as tanks and outstanding performers!

5 out of 5 stars Great sound and clarity.......2002-01-14

I just bought these to use as my main speakers with my Kenwood receiver. Let me tell you, these speakers sound great! I use them for both music and for Home Theater. There is NO other speakers that sound better in this price range. I've had these speakers for about 4 days, and they sound better and better every day. These little speakers even have great bass! Once I save up enough money I'm going to buy the JBL S38's and move the S26's to the surrounds. You need to buy these speakers!

5 out of 5 stars Unbelievable clarity.......2000-03-15

The mid and high range frequencies are reproduced with incredable clarity. You will hear the music as heard in the recording studios. That is to say; you will hear every instrument clearly and distinctly, without any distortion or blending. The base is also tight and adequate for anyone living in an apartment or condo. Any more and you may get kicked out. You can also get a great deal since this speaker is discontinued. I bought mine for less than $240 for the pair at amazon's z-shop. These speakers give the same incredable performance when watching DVD's. While BOSE has become popular, these JBL's definately outperforms similarly priced 3 way bose speakers. Remember, 3-ways don't neccesarily sound better than 2-way speakers. The fit, finish and quality of material is unmatched.
