We hear you.

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 rooms sound as incredible as that heard in a professional recording studio.

Mylar® Ultrahigh-Frequency Driver

The JBL L820s 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? Thats the realm of high-definition audio and the frequency response of todays 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. This is especially important from a loudspeaker that can be wall mounted like the L820. The bottom line is that the L820s will deliver a more realistic sound experience.
The Studio L820's ultra-high frequency driver
is perfect for delivering stunning detail from today's high resolution
sources such as Blu-ray Disc
The Studio L820'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 L820s 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 wall mounted, satellite loudspeakers, and the result is a clear, accurate signal no matter what the volume. So turn it up. The L820s 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 L820s use technology straight from the recording studio. The JBL L820s feature a 1-inch pure-titanium-dome tweeter; titaniums 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 L820s 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. Youll hear the detail in your music and movies as youve never heard it before.
The Studio L820 uses heavy duty capacitors
and an audiophile grade crossovers

6-Inch PolyPlas Woofer

The JBL brand name is synonymous with bass so its important that the L820s deliver rich, deep bass even with their design and wall mount capabilities. The L820s 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 L820s employ a rigid 6-inch woofer for the absolute lowest frequency extension. To make sure that the bass is not affected by any unwanted resonances, the L820s use a JBL IsoPower baffle design, and ultra- rigid enclosures. The result? Tight, accurate bass response that delivers a much more natural and realistic surround sound experience worthy of the worlds best recording studio and movie theaters.

Verified Purchase

Bought two sets of these for my daughters home theater room from brick and mortar establishment. Sounded so full and clear I tried out the sound of these using my OPPO 105 attached to HK full width amplifier. I was blown away by the tone and clarity coming from these non tower speakers. These had already been broken in for two weeks at my daughters before I borrowed the pair. I know some people think that does not matter with newer speakers but I would never be certain about keeping or returning a speaker without a brake in period. Loved it so much I checked into purchasing a complete house full of JBL speakers (home theater, Family room, Kitchen, etc... . Price was crazy high at brick and mortar so I said what the heck check Amazon. Saved over a thousand and that was on top of savings from tax. Order two JBL L890, two pairs of the JBL 830, and two pairs of the JBL 820s, and one JBL L2 Center channel speaker. I was concerned about shipping myself versus picking up and inspecting box at brick and mortar. All but one arrived in a box in as good a condition as the ones I initially picked up for my daughter. Amazon is replacing that one no questions asked. (LOVE AMAZON) I thought I needed new electronic turns out I needed to replace my Hi-End Wharfedale speakers I purchased back in 1999 with these JBL speakers that cost a tenth as much AS THOSE PURCHASED BACK IN 1999 (WHEN PURCHASED AT AMAZON). I never realized how heavy those speakers were in the base section compare to these JBL towers. You still get strong base but not overwhelming the rest of the music or sound from the movie. Tried attaching the JBL 830s to a decade old pioneer elite receiver in our kitchen area and the Hi was initially way to bright for my taste. I had to change some settings to reach the sweet spot again with my old favorite receiver. My new receiver that supplies sound to the movie room and the family room needed no such adjusting; however music and movies are played by my OPPO 105 . If you ever want to treat yourself to the most serious upgrade in music and movies (especially in DVDs played on screens 150 inches and larger), the OPPO 105 and these affordable JBL speakers. In my 50 years of chasing my idea of great music and movies sound in the home, I have never experienced the visual and aural performance that I have experienced than from the OPPO 105 attached to these JBL speakers via my current decent but not super hi-end receiver. Its been awhile since the center channel speaker could be heard and completely understood in my house during action movies. Kudos to JBL/Harmon on the way they built the JBL LC2 center channel speaker best I have ever heard. I will say that what ever player you connect to these speakers will be accurately reproduced (that includes the good and the bad) Source material and player matters. But when you can buy a center channel speaker, two towers, and four surrounds for what a decent set of towers cost back in 1999... Well lets just say that I and my wife are happy campers over this purchase. Me for the sound and her for the price.
