Speakers
From the JBL L100s in American Dad to the Martin Logans in Joey and Chandler's apartment — speakers that earned their screen time.
From the JBL L100s in American Dad to the Martin Logans in Joey and Chandler's apartment — speakers that earned their screen time.
The JBL L100 is the most-referenced speaker in television history — American Dad literally built an episode around it. But the screen loves all kinds of drivers: Martin Logan electrostatics in Friends, B&W 801s in Empire, KEF in American Psycho, Revel in What Women Want. Whatever moves air, Hollywood puts it on camera.
Compact enough for a shelf or desk, powerful enough to fill a room. The sweet spot for most vinyl setups.
Andrew Jones' budget masterpiece. 6.5-inch aramid fiber woofer, silk dome tweeter, and a sound that punches way above its price. The default recommendation for a first serious pair.
Uni-Q driver puts the tweeter inside the woofer for point-source imaging. Metamaterial absorption technology in the tweeter eliminates distortion. Reference-class sound from a speaker smaller than a shoebox.
Horn-loaded tweeter, copper spun woofer, and Klipsch's signature dynamic sound. Efficient enough to drive with a modest amp. The speaker for people who want to feel the music, not just hear it.
Full-range towers that don't need a subwoofer. The centerpiece of any serious listening room — and the ones that show up in millionaire apartments on screen.
The reissue of the most iconic speaker in American audio. Quadrex foam grille, 12-inch woofer, and a sound that defined a generation. The speaker American Dad's Stan Smith would kill for.
Uni-Q driver array in a slim floorstanding cabinet. Three 6.5-inch bass drivers deliver deep extension without a sub. Clean, detailed, and room-friendly.
Dual 8-inch woofers, horn-loaded tweeter, and enough sensitivity to fill a warehouse with a 20-watt tube amp. For people who like their music loud and live-sounding.
Flat, accurate, unforgiving. Built to reveal what's actually in the recording, not flatter it. The producers' choice.
White-cone workhorse. 8-inch woofer, 1-inch dome tweeter, and a flat response that reveals every detail. The modern descendant of the NS-10 — the most-used studio monitor in recording history.
Yellow-cone icon. DSP-driven room correction, front-firing port, and a sound profile optimized for modern music production. You've seen these in every home studio on YouTube.
X-ART folded ribbon tweeter delivers detail that dome tweeters can't match. 7-inch woofer for solid bass. The affordable entry point to Adam's acclaimed ribbon tweeter technology.
Speakers need power. Pair them with the right amp or receiver and a quality source.
