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

    Chris: The MCACC on the Pioneer VSX1014 is going to calibrate all the speakers for you, so I would not be hesitant at all using the EC35 for the center. Plus if you buy the E50s, you'll be stuck with a extra speaker. I accidentally reset my VSX-55TXi back to it's defaults when I was...

    JBL surround set up

    I accidentally reset my AV receiver and I can now see how on a uncalibrated system you could be concerned about mismatch between the various E series speakers. My EC35 center was really overpowered by my E100 fronts before I realized what I had done. Now after calibrating it again (my Pioneer...

    Pioneer Elite DV59-AVi DVD Player

    Marco: I've owned a Pioneer DV-59AVi for a little over a month now. I think you'll find this player is everything you have already heard about it! Do you have a Pioneer Elite iLink reciever to use the iLink with? You have multiple options on playing music, I use either the iLink or the...

    OHM Model H speakers...

    Jeff: Here's a link with some info on them: http://ohmspeakers.com/store_item_de...ID=39213246060 I see they had a $895 list price when you bought them. You might have the best luck selling them on Ebay. Personally I usually find a friend or family member that can use my equipment...

    JBL E250 vs Dayton 10"

    I have the luxury living in a end unit townhouse with only our garages connecting, so I am able to put my E250P through it's paces. I got mine for $269 from Harmon directly because of a employee purchase plan with them. Considering I had to pay sales tax and shipping, I later got other parts...

    Question: Mixing JBL northridge with older JBL speakers

    Chuck: And after all of that if you think the LX44s dont mesh well you may just want to go to the E90s or E100s for the front mains. Use the older ones for like a basement or bedroom instead. I strongly second getting the EC35 and E250P instead of the smaller models.

    JBL Performance Series

    Frank: I messaged someone I know at another forum that owns these speakers to come here and reply. From what I have heard him say in the past he is more than thrilled with them. I wish I could have afforded them myself. Instead I have the E series.

    more inputs please on Swans speakers

    David: It all comes down to the specs of the manufacturer. If a company puts in a request for a speaker that is comprised of about $20 worth of materials you get a poor quality speaker. Which is what I assume Dogg Digital does, versus another company that has specs that require far better...

    more inputs please on Swans speakers

    Even if Swan speakers were assembled (and I mean assembled not manufactured) in the same factory as Dogg Digital, it would not bother me personally. In this "global" economy this is quite common and the real issue would be the components used to manufacture them not the physical location...

    Narrowed down do JBL, ENERGY, or AXIOM

    Best Buy is the worst place to audition JBL E speakers. I have a 7.1 setup and they sound fantastic!

    How to break the news to the wife?

    Just remind the wife of how many clothes that she has bought are in the closet hanging there barely used and how you will be putting the sub to almost daily use! ;)

    Paradyme??!

    http://www.paradyme.com/ Paradyme is a local home theatre store in the Sacramento, CA area. They've had through the years many calls for these "Paradyme" speakers directed at them, when they have nothing to do with this "knock off" company.

    Jbl E20 ?

    Yung: The reason I mentioned J&R and B&H was they have retail stores in NYC. From the AVS forum you had your location as Queens. I firgured you could check the JBLs out at the retail outlets. Best Buy is just horrible with their setup. I was lucky I found a package system at my local BB they...
