    JBL NSP 1 spaker system for entry level HT. Good buy?

    You can get a pair of N28's at half.com for 166.00 shipped. These are brand new in a sealed box. I got a pair for my NSP1/PB10 setup and am very happy. You will need good stands tho.

    JBL fronts?

    I would stick with the N's as well. I just got some N28's as front for my NSP1 setup, let my say they are BIG. I think the the S38's are the same size, just on its side. I have head that the N and S series are timber matched but I have never done a side by side test. If you were to start...

    Speaker Wire.. I hear it ..

    OK I it got some new N28's as fronts, and hooked em up with my Mega cables. I order some Kimer 4pr and just got it in today. I hooked up the center first and I swear the speach was more clear. The midrange is the most effected. Then I hooked up one of the Fronts with the Kimber and compaired...

    JBL NSP - 1 owners: What (if any?) speaker stands are you using?

    This is sorta of topic. I got a set of N28's brand new on half.com for $156 shipped. These things are huge, they fit my stands but, just fit. I had to lower em way down. I might try some blu-tac on em just to make sure. I am putting on a mp3 disk low untill daylight to help em flex in a...

    In PRAISE of Speaker Calibration with an SPL meter

    That is what I said after I set mine up too. I am still mucking about with my sub woofer tho, I seem to like it way hot, maybe I am just deaf one the low end.

    Not impressed with Pro Logic II

    I happen to like DPLII with mp3 disks on my Onkyo 595. What is the problem? Use some DSP mode or go 2.1 for music. Some people dont like red cars...... Saying DPLII is bad for music is like saying Highend cables make no improvement in sound. If the shoe fits ware it. Don't walk in my...

    CD-RW mp3's

    Do the CD-RW disk lose any reproduction properties after a few clears and reburns with MP3? I would just like some feed back on this.

    Suggestions for a pair of speaker cables for $100 or less?

    I might just bite on that. I have some RS mega cable and I am looking at Kimber 4pr, 4vs, or 4tc. What ever I can get for cheap < $5 per. Any way, I will report back my findings On the fence for now.

    JBL NSP - 1 owners: What (if any?) speaker stands are you using?

    Those stands are not the the N24's, I made that mistake myself. I wound not spend the money on the real stands for the N24 or N26, they fit into the bottom of the speakers and you cant use them for anything else. I got some flat top stand that JandR sells for like $49-69 I forget. Any way I...

    Special "Nuon" Features, Say WHAT?

    There is a link error on the POTA get a fixed version. I have a Samsung n501, it's much better then the Tosh, IMHO. Nuon Tech works just fine. I even have downloaded, burned and run free games and other stuff.

    Problem w/MP3 playback --Toshiba 4700

    Paul, I have a Samsung DVD-N501, after the firmware update it plays MP3's fine(menu too) and VLM - I can tell the diff but that's just the lossy compression in the .mp3 file format. It has a NUON MPE in it and can play games as well. The NUON as a game system might be a dead duck, but its a...

    Problem w/MP3 playback --Toshiba 4700

    I retract my former statement about --r3mix in lame. I listened to the CD and I CAN tell the difference. I then reencoded with --alt-preset fast standard. I could still tell. then I encoded with --alt-preset extream. I could just tell on some parts of some songs. That is the the trade...

    Dayton or AR banana plugs?

    I looked at both. The AR HT407's the cables go in the back. The Daytons are stackable and the cables go in the side. I like the HT407's for non biwire. I found the HT407's for $5.47 a set of 2 red 2 black. They are on back order, but I can wait. Took me for ever to find them at that price...

    Problem w/MP3 playback --Toshiba 4700

    This is kinda off topic but... I ripped a CD with lame --r3mix. And when I play it on my DVD my DS595 says Digital PCM. I swear it sounds better then the master CD.

    Speaker Break In Times

    I have had the system for about 2 weeks now. Maybe 6 hours of use a day. It does seem to get better everyday I listen to it. ;)

    Speaker Break In Times

    Ok ... It might just be me. I got an SPL and set my system up. I was way off by ear. I don't think I have ever played anything that loud yet. Might have been the balance. Might have been the speakers breaking in. Might have been the DD mix on The perfect Storm DVD. But it sounded great...

    Pronto Remotes - Worth It?

    I bought a few refurb tsu2000's and sold the extras on ebay. I always wanted a pronto and was going to settle on a tsu1000 or 500. I am glad that I held out and got the 2000. That said. The pronto is in a class by itself. It works well right out of the box and you can have most of your suff...
