JBL Stage A170 Floorstanding Speakers (Pair), Black

Full Description

High-Definition Imaging

Starting at the pinnacle of the A170, JBL have included their patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) technology. This waveguiding geometry ensures that their drivers are capable of delivering sound more efficiently and directionally than their contemporaries. The result is a crisper high-range, with every musical note directed towards the listener rather than dispersed, uncontrolled, around the room. A more controlled frequency also ensures smoother sounding transition between drivers.

Two-and-a-Half Way Design

The JBL A170 floorstanding speakers use two 5.25 inch polycellulose woofer. With double the power when driving bass as low as 44Hz and a smooth crossover to the inch diameter aluminium tweeter, the A170 confidently demonstrates the benefits of a two-and-a-half way crossover design. Audio is enriched thanks to the dual rear ports, allowing for optimised air flow from the cabinet and an improved bassline. As the smallest Stage series floorstander, JBL accentuates crisp centrepiece detail.

Bi-wire / Bi-amping Terminals

Turn around the JBL A170 and you will find that the five-way binding posts are perfectly suited for a range of connections and hi-fi setups, with an impedance at 6 ohms and an excellent 89dB sensitivity. Match these speakers with your choice of amplifier, with a recommended power compatibility between 20 and 200W. The versatility and relative comfort at which these speakers can be run opens them up to both bi-wire and bi-amp installations, letting you dedicate power to bass and midrange frequencies independently.

The JBL A170 is the most compact of the Stage range floorstanding speakers, but still manages to pack a sturdy punch. From head to foot, the cabinet is less than a metre tall and as narrow as 190mm wide. This is the perfect solution for home cinemas where floor space may be restricted, but where speaker expression and bass is an absolute must. JBL’s expert cinema speaker experience, along with technology trickled down from their high-level speakers, contributes to a confident centrepiece speaker.

With a professional looking matte black cabinet contrasting against the white polycellulose drivers, these speakers also come with rubber or spike feet, meaning they can be safely placed on hard or carpeted floor alike.
