    Comments about JBL ES90B 3-Way Floorstanding Speaker (Black):

    Although they were a bit larger than I expected, I'm more than happy with sound they reproduce. I bought a sub-woofer to go with my system and I need very little extra low end because the ES90s really thump all by themselves. I've been using JBL products for years in my home and at work. The VRX Line Array and MR series monitors are what I use on stage but I won't compare these to them. The clarity of the ES90s are, I feel, best in class and price range. You would be hard pressed to find a better speaker.

      Comments about JBL ES90B 3-Way Floorstanding Speaker (Black):

      I have these powered with a Halfer XL280 and Kimber 4tc. They really are a nice sounding speaker for the price. The low end is solid and they can take gobs of power without bottoming out. The base quality is very good with the Hafler. It dampens woofers better than most amps.

      I have used JBL for 30 years. I lost faith in them over the last ten years. Their quality really slipped. It seems they are working on building a good speaker again. The woofer magnets appear to be very large (observed through the port), The box is very solid, heavy gauge wiring etc.

      They can be a bit bright on some recordings. Over all, very happy with them.

        Phenominal speakers!! I use them with my pioneer elite reciever and samsung LED tv to complete my 7.1 surround sound, they replaced my front two satelite speakers and I was blown away with the difference ...what a difference these speakers make ...a bargain for these awesome speakers ...great quality build and superior sound quality ...I just want to listen to the THX intro over and over!! Music is broad, sharp, crisp and amazingly clear ...but I use them more for my surround sound for my
        blu-ray movies where uncompressed sound need great speakers and these go above and beyond!! Thanks JBL and B&H!!
