Video Review:

Engaging sound from a bookshelf speaker
The JBL HDI-1600 was carefully designed and engineered in JBL's Northridge, California labs, with the intent of creating a compact speaker for discerning hi-fi enthusiasts. This stand-mount speaker is loaded with top-notch JBL technology and it comes in three elegant finishes that can complement just about any home decor.

A solid foundation
The speaker's 6-1/2" woofer is a lightweight, rigid Advanced Aluminum Matrix cone. It features a long-throw voice coil for high output and low distortion, serving up midrange detail and solid bass. The drivers are housed in a rounded cabinet made from 3/4"-thick MDF and heavily braced to eliminate sound-muddying vibrations. And we recommend mounting them on JBL's HDI-FS stands, to make them sound even better.
