Great sounding speaker for the money!
I just bought my new stereo that sounds awesome and it's the Denon CEOL RCD-N10 mini stereo network. The speakers that came with it are admittedly very good however I wanted something that had some more Ummmphhh to it and that's where these JBL's came in and saved the day in every aspect. These Stage A130 JBL speakers are crisp clear true to form with excellent bass and tweeter response as well as perfect crossover sounds phasing from left to right were very accurate too. I also bought the JBL Stage A120 12" Subwoofer and it's a perfect combo that you will love for years to come. All these put together and I have a awesome sounding system to rock too with impeccable clarity at any volume. This is why JBL Monitor Speaker's are still the most used in 3/4 of Recording Studios in the US to this day and have been for many many years.

Since I always had JBL’s and still have my L100’s studio speakers, I have always enjoyed their sound especially bass driven music.

Fantastic Budget Speakers
The Stage A130 is seriously good, even at the full price of $299. I just set up a nearfield 2.1 desktop system with these paired to an Aiyima A07 mini integrated amp, an Elac 1010 sub, and a Fosi Audio DAC-Q4, all for about $500. It's amazing how good a cheap system like this can sound! If I were doing it again on the same budget, I'd change nothing.

Best budget bookshelf speakers
For the $179.95 sale price, there is nothing comparable. They have a slight upper mid bump in the frequency response, but other than that, near perfect. Distortion numbers are insanely low even compared to speakers 3x their price!
Excellent imaging, tonality, and sound staging. Highly recommend for the price!

Binding Posts
The directions for using the binding posts as provided in the included owner's manual are not possible for using banana plugs. The plastic nut cannot be removed from the post and yet the directions have this removal as the 1st step before removing the plastic plug that blocks the banana jack's socket. It is possible using a knife edge to remove the plastic plug without removing the plastic nut. The manual does not inspire great confidence.

Product Q&A
How does this compare to the studio 200 and the arens series? Is it a step up from the arena but below the studio 200? I am trying to decide between these a130 or the studio 230 for a small bedroom. Which performs better
I don't know about the Arena or Studio Series but I have the Stage A 130's because if the fact they are 6 ohm which is what I needed for the compatibility of my stereo system and they sound awesome with clarity and definition. I also bought the Stage A 120 Subwoofer and it's a perfect combo.

Can these be turned on their side as opposed to sitting upright ? I need speakers to fit into a cabinet with a front that is ostensibly acoustically transparent. The Chairwoman of Aesthetics has vetoed any speakers sitting on the cabinet. Thanks !
I don't think that you'd notice any real difference between these on their side or standing vertically. What you might notice is a difference if they are placed with their backs close to a wall, because of the rear-firing bass reflex port. I use my older JBL E20s with rear reflex port on a fireplace mantel, against a stone wall, and I don't have any issues with the sound when they are used that way. Because it's a rough stone wall, there is some space behind the speaker enclosures. Your mileage may vary, of course.

This is a follow up to my previous question: I know they don’t mount. I already own them. Should they just sit on the floor then if I don’t have a bookshelf? I want to buy or make something for them to sit on with the back facing the wall.
Please reach out to our Customer Support team so we could directly work with you for mounting options for your JBL Stage A130.
