    JBL N and S series: can I mix 'em up?

    Anyone here have experience with running N series and S series JBL speakers in the same system? Are they fairly well matched? I have a pair of ND310's, and a big room (20'x30') and don't have a lot of confidence that the smaller N series (N26 specifically) can keep up with the ND310's. I got...

    110 RMS vs. 225 watt speakers. Trouble?

    One more question. My Denon 3802 is rated for 110 watts RMS per channel, my ND310's are rated up to 225 watts. I have read in a couple of other posts that too little power is more of a concern than too much power when matching receiver and speakers. Also, the other JBL's I am thinking of...

    Big HT room, where should I put rear surrounds?

    First the details, then my questions: I just remodeled my house and now have a very large main living area, approx 27 feet long and 15 feet wide. I am a total amateur in regards to HT setup. My couch sits exactly in the middle of this area, about 13 feet from the front JBL ND310s and PW10 sub...

    How can you timbre match at home?

    O.K., everyon seems to agree that timbre matching your front mains with your center is critical. And, everyone seems to agree that you don't necessarily have to have company matched mains and center for this to happen. So that leaves the obvious question: If you have one brand of mains, and...
