Hi guys, im currently using JBL northridge ND-310s (3 way double 10s) for fronts and I love them. Ive bought and sold alot of gear through the years but these have always been my favorite. Unfortunately they are simply not going to fit in our new built in entertainment center so i need to downsize for our new living room. Im using a home built avalance 15 sub so these speakers are probably overkill anyway, have plenty of base from the sub.
Id prefer to stay with JBL if possible. Im looking for something in a fair size bookshelf speaker. I would sort of prefer to stay with at least an 8in woofer. I hate the sound of a system with a gap between small speakers and a sub. Most of the new speakers today are 6" or smaller so im thinking about trying to track down an older good used set.
Im thinking about maybe the studio S-38s (3 way 8 inch). These have awesome reviews, i had a set once and liked them, but honestly i prefered my ND-310s. The larger tweeter on the studio line sounded a little dull to me. Still sounded very good though. These would probably work fine for me to be honest.
Also looking at Northridge E-50's (3 way 8 inch). These are the exact same layout as the S-38s but are in the northridge line. Im wondering if the midrange and tweeter would be the same as in my ND-310s and sound more like what I have now?
Also sort of thinking about the newer Studio L830 (3 way 6 inch) but im very skeptical of a 6in woofer. Going from double 10s to a single 6 is a big change lol. These are a little more more money too but also have great reviews. Any advice?
