Product Description
The E100 dual 10-inch floorstanding loudspeaker, flagship of the Northridge E Series, delivers superb audio, whether used for critical listening in a stereo system, or when combined with a Northridge E center channel, bookshelf surrounds and a subwoofer to create a home theater system. The E100 performs like a pro, with technology developed by JBL's Professional division. Equipped with JBL's tried-and-true titanium-laminate tweeters and PolyPlas drivers, the speaker reproduces high notes with extreme clarity. The lows and mids, efficiently boosted by dual 10-inch woofers and assisted by the FreeFlow flared port, are loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess. The Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide ensures that every seat is the best in the house for sweet music and intelligible dialogue, or for just rocking out. Since the transducers were purpose-designed to work together harmoniously, JBL's simple Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network divides the signal with minimal processing (and minimal opportunity to degrade the signal). Dual sets of sturdy gold-plated, 5-way binding posts enable bi-amping or bi-wiring. With the high, midrange and low frequencies isolated, the E100's four transducers can reproduce their frequency ranges more efficiently and with greater accuracy. The computer-designed, lock-mitred cabinet virtually eliminates distortion, and its slim European profile won't overpower your room.

The flagship of the Northridge E Series, the JBL E100 dual 10-inch floorstanding loudspeaker delivers superb audio whether used in conjunction with a second stereo speaker or as one of two front speakers in a comprehensive surround system. Movies and music sound great thanks to its 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter, which reproduces high notes and dialogue at the peak of clarity. Meanwhile, its 4-inch PolyPlas midrange driver and dual 10-inch PolyPlas woofers combine to deliver full and rich mid and low tones, ensuring that everything from complex classical recordings to bass-heavy hip-hop CDs translate beautifully from the amp to your ears. Each JBL Northridge speaker also features a FreeFlow flared port, which minimizes distortion and boominess; an Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide tweeter enhancement that improves the high-frequency audio response for music and dialogue; and a Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover network, which divides the audio signal with minimal processing for a better overall sound.

Audiophiles will appreciate the dual sets of sturdy, gold-plated, five-way binding posts, which enable both bi-amping and bi-wiring. The alternate cabling methods can offer either subtle (in the case of bi-wiring) or significant (bi-amping) improvements in audio imaging and detail. With the low, mid, and high frequencies isolated, the speakers' quartet of transducers can reproduce their frequency ranges even more efficiently and with greater accuracy. In addition, the speaker's computer-designed, lock-mitered cabinet virtually eliminates distortion, and its slim European profile--which measures 12.25 by 42 by 14.5 inches (W x H x D)--looks great in almost any room.

The E100's technical specifications include a robust 250 watts of maximum recommended power, 125 watts of continuous power, and a frequency response of 33 Hz to 20 kHz. JBL's Northridge E Series comprises not only floorstanding and bookshelf speakers, but also center channel speakers, subwoofers, and anything else you need to create a superior surround system. All Northridge speakers are magnetically shielded to protect against video interference and are covered by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.
