    Swans Divias: are they still the style/price/performance kings?

    I want to use the 12V trigger in my 797 for an amp, but the trigger says "Zone 2"

    Hi Kyle, The way I understand this is that the remote sensor will turn on your receiver from the room that you are in ( (Zone2) Read page 22 of your manual,see if that helps

    Opinions on these JBL options...............

    MY two cents Go with option two with the svs 25-31PCi.You can't go wrong I demoed the JBL's in Best Buy's and prefered the S-38's over all the rest.I am a long time fan of JBL ,have had them for almost 30 yrs. They still sound good L-36's.I am also looking into the Divas they are getting a...

    Comments/Advice on the following JBL speakers which i am ready to order

    Sanjay, I can only add that from my personal listening of these speakers in the store.I would choose the S-38 as to my ears they sounded the best and it is important that your speakers be timber matched across the front.I am not sure if it is that critical across the back. Good Listening Michael
