This is where the JBL LS80 Information goes

A New Standard
The LS Series establishes a new standard for high-end JBL horn-loaded speaker systems.  Attention to detail, from exceptional acoustical engineering to high-quality craftsmanship, is a hallmark of the LS Series, which continues the JBL tradition of audio excellence.  Each passive LS Series loudspeaker features a compression driver mounted in a patented Bi-Radial® horn, which provides rich, full sound and a defined soundstage.  And the Series elegantly proportioned, beautifully crafted cabinets feature high-gloss-ebony wood panels, making them a welcome addition to any décor.

The LS80 was awarded the EISA European Speaker of the Year 2008-2009.

The official quote from EISA outlines why the LS80 was chosen for this prestigious award.  “JBL is drawing on considerable heritage with this new, three-and-a-half way floorstanding loudspeaker. The LS80 is the largest model in a range sporting its proprietary horn-loaded compression driver and additional super tweeter. The two bass drivers cross over at different frequencies. Despite this complex array of transducers the sound of the LS80 is surprisingly coherent, balanced and natural. Furthermore, thanks to the speakers high power handling, high sensitivity and relatively easy load it is broadly compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.”
