Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Headroom notes

86 dB @ 1 m, 2.83 V into a 6-ohm nominal load — roughly 84.8 dB on a true watt. The whole Stage line is specified at 6 ohms and 2.83 V, so JBL's own model-to-model comparisons are internally consistent; comparisons against 8-ohm brands are not.

Amplification Warning

Harman publishes no minimum impedance anywhere in the Stage line — the spec sheet lists only "Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms". Treat the 6 ohms as an upper bound on what the amplifier will see, not a typical value.
