Amazon.com Product Description

As affordable as it is all-purpose, JBL's 3-way Northridge Series E90 floorstanding speaker is capable of delivering clear, dynamic sound for both music and movies. With the E90, your program's bass and midrange frequencies--efficiently boosted by the speaker's dual 8-inch woofers--come through loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess.

The Northridge E90 is sold as a single speaker. Buy two for stereo uses or pick up five--or merely three--for use in surround-sound applications; only three if you'll be using two other speakers to serve as the left/right front or surrounds. If your TV is on a high shelf or mounted on the wall, as would a flat-panel set, you can simply position the "center channel" speaker beneath it (or check out the traditional Northridge E center channel, too).

Be aware that you don't need a television to enjoy multichannel surround sound: the SACD, DVD-Audio, and DTS-CD formats all make ample use of full-range center-channel speakers, providing you have the space and the inclination to set up speakers for five- or 5.1-channel music listening. Use a powered subwoofer for the ".1" low-frequency effects channel, or configure your surround receiver to fold the ".1" signal into the audio feeding the other speakers--with the E90's 36 Hz bass rating, you'll have plenty of bass even without a subwoofer.

The speaker's Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS) waveguide imbues sound with unparalleled spaciousness and definition, and the speaker uses a titanium-laminate tweeter to reproduce high notes with extraordinary clarity. The PolyPlas (polymer-coated cellulose fiber) cone woofers feature traditional JBL engineering--the same technologies used in JBL's Professional equipment, which is found in stadiums, music halls, and movie theaters around the world.

Shielded components allow speaker placement near video monitors. A low-diffraction IsoPower baffle directs the sound power into the room, reducing distortion from cabinet vibration.

The speaker's lock-mitred, computer-designed enclosure requires no internal bracing. Its flared, FreeFlow port increases bass response without adding unwanted port noise (sometimes heard as "chuffing" when you really crank your tunes). JBL's custom-designed drivers allow the use of simple, Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossover networks with high-quality electrical components that minimize processing that could degrade the signal. Finally, JBL has outfitted the E90 with all-metal, gold-plated, five-way binding-post speaker terminals for secure and flexible hookups, from bare wire to banana-plug jacks.

What's in the Box
One speaker, a speaker grille, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Super Sound.......2006-11-03

You get a super crisp sound. By up grading from my old Bozaks to the JBL was like turning on a new receiver. Great speakers for the money you don't need to spend a lot for great sound. I love them.

4 out of 5 stars The jbl e-90 are very good sounding tower speakers.At 400 bucks with free shipping for the pair is a steal........2006-03-09

The jbl E90 is a very good sounding speaker system.At 400 bucks for the pair,this is very good deal.The speakers are a little bright and are best used with neutral sounding seperate amplifers or a high current receiver rated for more than 100 watts at 4 ohms...If the amplifier has a 2 ohm ,high current rating,thats good too.Most amps clip or limit without 4 drive,and contrary to popular belief,A low powered or current limited amp can damage your speakers more easily than a amp. that is loafing along.You will need a good subwoofer with these speakers..I highly recommend these speakers. !Enjoy!.I thank you Stewart L.

5 out of 5 stars Sound great to me.......2006-03-04

Amazon recently dropped their price for these speakers (to about half of list), and offers free shipping, too. For items that weigh 50 lbs. apiece, that's a really good deal. I've had these for two weeks, and they sound great. I mainly use them as part of my 5.1 surround sound setup, but I tested them with music, too. I checked out the E60 and E80 models at a local store, and liked them. The E90 is better!

4 out of 5 stars A real big sounding speaker for those who wish to make a statement........2005-12-20

4 out of 5 stars Good value, If you get a good price.......2005-12-12

Price is all over the place on these so shop around.

I am a bit of an audio buff, but on a budget. I also believe in diminishing returns as you go higher in price. For me I hoped these hit the sweet spot. I am happy with the sound. I have JBL E10 Surrounds E90 Mains, EC35 Center, and a Velodyne DPS-12 sub paired with a Yamaha 5760. Movie experience is as good as I could hope for. Sounds fantastic! Music is great, but could be better. I tried to audition speakers and receivers but just got too frustrated, so I bought this system based on reviews and price.

If you are not going to have a sub or like tons of bass, Get the E100 with the 10" woofers. The E90s are nice with a sub and were the right size for my set up (I considered the overall hieght and position of the tweaters relative to the screen).

I cannot emphasize enough how important the Center Speaker is for movies. This was my first surround system and I am glad I bought the best center channel I could in the Northridge series (EC35). So much of the movie sound goes to the center.

The E10 surrounds were a real surprise for me: Great sound for such a little inexpensive speaker. I was going to get E20s but they are just to big to put on the wall.

Product Description

The Northridge E Series E90 floorstanding loudspeaker 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 E90 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 8-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 E90'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.

Amazon.com Product Description

At 9.88 inches wide and 40.25 inches tall, the JBL Northridge E90 floorstanding speaker takes up a solid amount of space--far more than the smaller bookshelf speakers currently in vogue. But the impressive sound that radiates from the speaker more than justifies its size. When used in conjunction with a second stereo speaker or as part of a comprehensive surround system, the speaker makes music and movies come alive with superb depth and unmatched clarity. The speaker includes a 0.75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter, which reproduces high notes and dialogue at the peak of precision. Meanwhile, its 4-inch PolyPlas midrange and dual 8-inch PolyPlas woofers combine to deliver full-bodied mids and lows that sound rich and energetic whether you're playing complex classical recordings, bass-heavy hip-hop, or the latest sci-fi epic.

Each JBL Northridge speaker also offers such features as a FreeFlow flared port, which minimizes distortion and boominess; an oval-shaped tweeter orientation called Elliptical Oblate Spheroidal (EOS), which disperses the sound at a wider angle for broader enjoyment; 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 looks great in almost any room.

The E90's technical specifications include 225 watts of maximum recommended power, 110 watts of continuous power, and a frequency response of 36 Hz to 20 kHz. The E90 hails from JBL's Northridge E Series, which 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.

Product Description

Panasonic Plasma Displays set the standard for high-definition viewing. HD panels with approximately 1, 050, 000 (1366 x 768) pixels capture all the beauty of HDTV broadcasts and other HD image sources. They support all major HDTV and EDTV standards, including 1080i, 720p and 480p, and fully reproduce high-definition pictures from 720p HDTV signals.The use of a new front protection glass filter and new phosphors greatly improves the color purity of blues and reds, a weakness in previous plasma displays. This helps achieve pure, rich, natural coloration that exceeds CRT displays and approaches European EBU standards for high-definition TV. The asymmetrical arrangement of the red, blue and green cells results in a dramatically improved light-emitting balance of the three primary colors. This reproduces purer whites while maintaining a high level of brightness.

Amazon.com Product Description

With the ability to display more than a billion colors, 1,536 shades of gradation, and a contrast ratio of 3,000:1, Panasonic's 50-inch 16:9 HD-capable flat-panel plasma TV brings images to life in vivid color and extraordinarily deep contrast. Ready for use straight out of the box, it features a built-in NTSC TV tuner and five integrated stereo speakers. You can also connect it to your computer to serve as a monitor. It offers resolution of up to 1,366 x 768 pixels (with a pixel pitch, or spacing, of 0.81 x 0.81 millimeters) and an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare. The motion-adaptive 3D Y/C digital comb filter further increases brightness and clarity.

Progressive Cinema Scan (3:2 pulldown) reassembles the frame sequence of your original film-based content from DVDs to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material. In addition, two-tuner picture-in-picture with resizable windows allows you to watch more than one program at a time. BBE ViVA HD3D sound simulates surround sound using only two speakers and without distorting dialogue, and AI sound keeps the volume at a constant level, compensating for those jarring ups and downs. Five integrated Bass Reflex speakers and the capability for surround sound round out the audio system.

The TV's onscreen menus are available in English, Spanish, and French, and it can display Closed Captioning for the hearing impaired or silent viewing. Settings for use with you computer may be made through the separate PC menu.

The built-in NTSC receiver allows you to use the TV to receive broadcasts or when connected to an appropriate source such as cable TV or an optional external antenna. However, the manufacturer notes that an over-the-air antenna or optional set-top receiver are required to view DTV programming, and if your cable company "passes through" a DTV signal unchanged, an optional HDTV set-top receiver can decode and tune the program. Panasonic notes that standards for cable connectivity have not been finalized, however, so you should make sure this product is compatible with your cable system.

The TH-50PX20U/P allows you to connect your DVD player and one other device using high-quality component video, and also offers S-Video, composite-video inputs for connecting a camcorder or game console, and HDMI (HDCP) inputs, as well as an RGB-VGA connection for computer hookup. Audio and video inputs are located on both the front and the back of the TV for easy access. The TH-50PX20U/P includes a pedestal stand.

What's in the Box
TV, pedestal stand, owner's manual, remote control, and batteries.
