JBL L82 Classic MKII Retro-Styled Standmount Stereo Speakers
Overview
The JBL L82 Classic MkII takes the beloved mid-century aesthetic of the Classic Series and pairs it with significant acoustic upgrades for today’s music lovers. Inspired by the legendary JBL L100, the L82 Classic MkII keeps the iconic Quadrex grille, satin walnut finish, and vintage form factor — but inside, it’s been modernised with enhanced drivers, a refined crossover network, and improved connectivity.
At its core, the JBL L82 MKII speaker is an 8-inch cast-frame pure pulp cone woofer, engineered to deliver a warm, full-bodied presentation with excellent midrange presence and punch. The 1-inch titanium dome tweeter, paired with an acoustic lens and waveguide, provides extended highs, precise imaging, and wide, even dispersion across the room. Together, they create a lively, engaging sound signature that feels unmistakably JBL — dynamic, musical, and effortlessly enjoyable.
One of the major L82 MkII upgrades is the bi-wire / bi-amp capable crossover network, accessible through dual sets of gold-plated binding posts. This refinement allows enthusiasts to fine-tune performance with dedicated amplification or cable configurations. A front-mounted HF level attenuator provides subtle tuning to match room acoustics or personal preference.
The cabinet of this JBL speaker is finished in natural walnut veneer and paired with Quadrex foam grilles in black, orange, or blue. Sold as a mirror-imaged left and right pair, the L82 Classic MkII creates a balanced, coherent stereo image whether placed on shelves or paired with the optional JS-80 stands for optimal listening height.
Compact yet bold, vintage yet modern, the L82 Classic MkII bookshelf / standmount speakers delivers the true spirit of JBL’s heritage with upgraded clarity, punch, and versatility — perfect for listeners who want a speaker with style, substance, and serious performance.
