    JBL Venue Series = Original 1999 N-Series

    So I've recently moved and my dedicated theater room is small so I've been looking for something to mount on the walls as opposed to having my e30's and e35 out on the floor. I was thinking of just buying three more E10's. Will these new Venue series on walls give me better performance than a...

    pioneer 1014 craped out

    I'll check the build date on it when I get home but I bought in September/October of last year so it's before that at least.

    pioneer 1014 craped out

    I guess I spoke too soon. While mine powers up, as soon as any kind of load is put on it, it powers off again. Even with nothing plugged in. No inputs, no speakers, nothing. If I put in on tuner with the volume all the way down things are good but once I get the volume up beyond -35 or so, the...

    pioneer 1014 craped out

    Well, I just had this issue happen to me after a brief power outage. Thank you SO much to Doug for posting the reset code. I'm back up and running. I love the internet!

    JBL's - Here's what I want to do. Opinions?

    I have a similar setup with a vsx1014, E30's for mains, EC35 and E10's for surrounds. Using an SVS sub. Sounds really nice and didn't break the bank. I'm planning at some point to move the mains to the surrounds. Use the surrounds for rears and add either E90's or E100's into the main position...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Onecall has gone up $20 on the E30's since last week as well. Last week when I was shopping these speakers the E30's were 138.95 plus shipping, now they're $158 plus shipping. At $138 they weren't too bad since that low price somewhat offset the $35 shipping charge. I ended up buying from...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Got mine in last night. They look quite nice in the cherry finish although they seem a lot bigger in my little room than they did in the BB. I could see the look in my girlfriends eyes as I was unboxing them like "oh no they're too big and cluttering things up!!!" Sigh. Anyway. I've not had a...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    I think that advice makes good sense and I seriously considered that path. In fact my finger was hovering over the "place order" button with 4 E30's in the cart. My thinking ended up going something like this. I figured I'd save $150 by going with the E10's for now. They were 60 bucks cheaper...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Oh without question they'll sound different! Nothing sounds like my Heresy's. I've had those speakers for 15 years so I'm actually looking forward to having something a bit different. The JBL's are going to mainly be for Home theater stuff anyway. I don't listen to much music these days but I...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Hopefully I'll avoid such issues. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience though. I already have an SVS 20-39cs sub (I got to keep that part of my old HT after getting divorced) and so I'm hoping these bookshelves from JBL will match up pretty good with it. My old HT had Klipsch Heresy II's...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Ha! I've just ordered the identical setup (e30,ec35,e10) after reading here and givng them a listen at Best buy and CompUSA. I hope they sound as good in my quiet, controlled environment as they did in the dreadful retail setups that I listened to.

    Dolby Virtual Speaker, Denon D-M71DVSXP

    How about this? www.niro1.com I've read a couple of reviews and both have been very positive. Not heard one myself though. I'm tempted since I'm not feeling the love with running wires all over the apartment.

    Epson TW100 projector

    Everything I've read about the TW100 has been positive. I'm planning on demo'ing one here in the next few weeks. Check out the AVS forum for threads on this unit as well as projectorcentral.com for a review. With street prices in the 3800 to 4000 dollar range, it sounds like a nice unit. As I...
