    Mini Review: Rocket RS550s vs. HTD Level 4s

    Thanks for the review, those speakers look soo nice. Sounds like an awesome deal to listen to those speakers all at once. How do the level 3's compare to the 4's in your opinion.

    JBL Northridge Questions

    I think the e50s sounded pretty good, but it wasnt really a good audition place. best buy. But I'm still wondering if anyone can tell me why the JBL E series is considered entry level at a price of $900 for a pair of towers. You can get other brands at the same price that arent considered...

    JBL Northridge Questions

    I'm still wondering though, why are the JBL E series considered entry level when they can retail for 900 or more a pair?? To me that price isn't entry level as that could get you into some paradigms or B&Ws as well.

    JBL Northridge Questions

    I can't hear the S26IIs, but would they be better in the end than the E90s. I know ones a bookshelf and the other a floorstander, but I'm going for quality here not size. The only problem I'd have would be finding a matching center for the Studios. But we are looking at a 1" and 6" on the 26 to...

    JBL Northridge Questions

    So do the E90s have a good midrange or is it nonexistent? Also, why are they considered entry level by people and the JBL site when they are supposed to be 900 dollars a pair. To me that's not entry level.

    Nick, the E90s were on bestbuy's website for 249 each so about 500 for the pair.

    JBL Northridge Questions

    Is the 3/4" tweeter gonna bury me in the end? Should I be lookin at 1" since most speakers carry 1" or should I be fine with the 3/4" tweeter. Also, what does YMMV mean. thanks.

    JBL Northridge Questions

    Thanks alot for the reply Scott, what are you running your E90's with, I have a Yamaha HTR-5560, Are the JBL's considered bright? ALso, what do you think of the midrange and highs on your E90s and why did you go with the EC25 instead of EC35. Also, is the EC35 and 25 a better center than the...

    JBL Northridge Questions

    I have seen that the E90 floorstanders are now 500 for a pair. Are these fairly good for that kind of money or could I be doing better. I think they sound nice, and I'm strapped for cash. These could fit the bill, but if I could listen to something that may be better for the same money that...

    JBL Studios

    Thanks for the link. Is 265 pretty good for those? Also, one thing I'm scared about is finding a matched center and surround for a decent price? Would I be better to wait and get something else or will these suffice if i can get a center. Also, I have Yamaha NS-8390s right now. Floor standers...

    I was wondering if anyone knows a place a person can find the S38II's or S36II's or whatever they were that were on sale for $149/pair earlier this year. I've really should've picked them up when i saw them on sale on bestbuy's website. I procrastinated and can't find them there anymore. Any...

    Paradigm pricing and Rockets

    I have read on the AV123 forum about the rockets maybe being a little muddy on fast rock and high vocals. Is this true. I really like rock like The Who and Led Zeppelin. Are the rockets gonna do these bands justice or should i be looking elsewhere. Will I hear everythjing in the music or am I...

    Paradigm pricing and Rockets

    I was wondering with AV123 and the rockets. Would I be able to get a discount on buying the 550s and a 200 center?? I think I'm leaning towards trying the rockets. There are no auditions in my area from audioenvy, but they sound like the sound I'm looking for. I think i might take a chance...

    Oh, and I've also been looking at B&W, but that's a very long drive for me to audition so any help is appreciated there too, if I should be making that drive.

    Any experience w/ Definitive Technology Speakers?

    I agree with Joe that if you like the sound go for it. I like the def tech's too, it also depends on if you want a full front soundstage or if you like seperation. Bipolars will fill in the gaps but you may be missing some seperation. I guess just go by what you want and sounds best.
