JBL 2150
Little is documented about the JBL 2150. What the record shows comes almost entirely from a single used-market listing, so treat these figures as one seller's account rather than confirmed factory data. That listing describes a two-way acoustic suspension bookshelf speaker with an 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter, crossed over at 3,000 Hz. Impedance is stated as 8 ohms, sensitivity at 89 dB (1 watt/1 meter), and frequency response from 65 Hz to 20 kHz. Recommended power runs 5 watts minimum to 60 watts maximum, and the cabinet measures 18" H x 10" W x 9" D.
No production years, original retail price, or weight have surfaced in any period source. The only price on record is the asking price of $99 for a pair, described by the seller as in very good cosmetic condition and fully functional. Beyond that listing, the 2150 does not appear in the usual JBL catalogs or the audio press of its era — HiFI-Stereo (November 1991, p.107) ran JBL advertising in the period, but nothing covering this specific model. Given how little corroboration exists, the 2150 appears to have been a modest, budget-oriented offering that simply didn't leave much of a paper trail.
