The ES250P performs like a pro

High-definition video meets high-definition audio

Deeper Bass

ES Series powered subwoofers feature a JBL computer-optimized bass-reflex port, which extends deep bass response while eliminating unwanted turbulence.

Less Distortion

The ideal path from input through components to transducers is a straight line, and all ES Series speakers take the shortest path possible. But they also employ premium components to minimize noise and signal loss.

Hear What You've Been Missing with the JBL ES Series

HDTV and the new HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats deliver video images that are up to six times sharper than the best the 20th century had to offer. But these extraordinary new pictures are meant to be experienced with up to 7.1 channels of high-quality sound (which actually improves most people's perception of the picture itself). With the versatile new ES Series, high-definition video meets high-definition audio, and a new era of high-impact home entertainment comes of age.

For advanced, sit-anywhere 5.1- and 7.1- channel home theater systems, as well as good-old-fashioned, best-seat-in-the-house music systems, the ES Series offers a variety of bookshelf, wall-mount and floorstanding loudspeakers, and bring-down-the-house powered subwoofers. With innovative technologies derived directly from JBL Professional equipment, the ES Series delivers powerful, accurate audio performance in systems that are built to play loud and long. And with two finishes to choose from--black and cherry--they're designed to look good anywhere, with a style that equals their substance.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I originally was going to order the ES150PBk 200watt sub-woofer, but it was not going to be shipped until mid April. So I went with JBL's 300watt RMS (500Watt Peak) model. I paid $353.00 with a $30.00 off (for applying for an Amazon credit card) and this brought the price down to $323.00 with "free" super saver delivery. This unit will shake your living room during explosions in action movies (check out Pearl Harbor and Live Free, Die Young) and provides a nice, tight bass in music. I only have it turned up to just passed the mid-point & that is very loud. It is well designed, attractive, and you get more than your money's worth. You can not go wrong for this price! By the way, it does come with a removable black grill that is not pictured. I researched several other sub-woofers and none came close to providing the specs that this one does at this price and from such a well-established company. Last, but not least, JBL has been making speakers since the 1930's and is at the forefront of loudspeakers for the music industry. Because I am a tech savvy musician, I am well aware of JBL's reputation. So, in closing, rest assured that you are getting an outstanding product, through a trusted, reliable and reputable company at an outstanding price!!!
