The JBL XPL 90 is a floor-standing speaker model that was released in the early 1980s. It features a unique design with a focus on delivering detailed audio across a wide soundstage. The speaker is equipped with a three-way configuration, consisting of a 12-inch woofer, a 5-inch midrange driver, and a 1-inch dome tweeter, allowing it to reproduce a broad range of frequencies effectively. The XPL 90 has a sensitivity rating of approximately 90 dB, making it relatively efficient when paired with amplifiers. The nominal impedance is around 8 ohms, which provides compatibility with a variety of audio systems. The enclosure is designed to minimize resonance and enhance bass response, and the overall build quality reflects JBL's commitment to solid construction. Users often appreciate the smoothness and clarity of the sound, making them suitable for both music and home theater applications. The aesthetic design includes a contemporary look with a wood veneer finish and an attractive grille, contributing to its appeal in different environments.
