JBL L820

Sound and Vision Magazine has recently posted a review of JBL’s recent update to the venerable Studio series, the Studio L. The review system consisted of a pair of L820 mains, an LC2 center, a pair of L 810 surrounds and an L8400P subwoofer. The L820 and LC2 are both 4-way speakers which feature a 3/4in mylar supertweeter, 1in titanium tweeter, 4in Polyplas midrange, and a 6in Polyplas woofer (2 woofers on the LC2). Both the L820 and LC2 feature somewhat shallow sealed enclosures that were designed for wall mounting. The L810 is a 3-way speaker in a ported enclosure that omits the 4in midrange transducer found in the L820 and LC2 and utilizes a slightly smaller 5 1/4in woofer. The L8400 features a 12in Polyplas woofer in a sealed enclosure powered by a 600w amplifier. The reviewer was impressed with the system’s build quality and he lauded the it’s “clean, uncolored sound and impressive dynamics”. For a consumer that is looking for a sleek on wall system to compliment a plasma or lcd display, the Studio L series looks like a solid system that does not compromise its sound quality for a sleek form factor.
