Hello again, Let me try this again. :) I would like to say that I do really like the JBL S26II speakers and they have served me very well in my current configuration. But with a new house and this room this is going in will be a great room. The room size is going to be 22 x 19 with 10...
Hello all, I have 4 JBL S26II speakers with the S-Center. However, I am buying a new house and the 2 back S26II speakers are not going to work in the great room. So I would like to know of a good JBL in-wall speaker that will match rather well with the JBL S26II and S-Center? Thanks, Perry
I think a really kewl idea would be instead of the OSD (which I got over that one) have the remote show the volume setting or for that matter anything that is displayed on the LCD on the receiver. Also I have a question. I was reading the manual and it talks about 2 way remote control system...
Well hmmmm, Anyone know if the volume can be viewed on the screen? Maybe since it has that upgrade port this feature could be added later if it does not have that ability to do it now?
Hello, Well I got my Sony receiver from UPS today. I set it up and did compare it to the H/K 520. I have only played with the Sony for about a few hours. However, it to me sounds better. The sound is a little more detailed and full in both a home theater and music environment. I will post...
Angelo -- As soon as I get the Sony in, I will do a direct comparison between the HK and the Sony. Paul -- What is the price of the NAD? Just in case the Sony does not work out. Thanks, Perry
Hello, I would just like to share my on going search for the receiver that would fit my requirements. Over the last few months I have learned a great deal about receivers and sound in general. My equipment so far is as follows: Sony KL-W9000 HTPC with the Delta 410 sound card 4 JBL S-26...
Hey, Speaking of the 410 in a HTPC, I just got one of these sound cards. I would like to know what kind of amp you can hook this up to? I would like to find a low priced amp to at least do a 5.1 configuration and then later upgrade to the 7.1. However, I figured I would still need an...
jeff lam, Would you have a part number of the radio shack ones and the parts express ones? I guess I am looking for a good price for these plugs. Also, I should say that I have 12 ga speaker wire. Thanks, Perry
Hello, I was wondering if someone can suggest some options on good banana plugs to buy locally at a good price? If it helps, I live in the Portland, OR area. Thanks, Perry
Hello, Thanks for the help. Jon Duke, that is correct, I am referring to upconverting composite to s-video connections. So that feature and the pre-outs would be nice to have. Jeremy, could you do a review of the new Pioneer Elite VSX-41, when you get it? Thanks, Perry
Hello all, I just bought the Onkyo TX-SR600. It seems very good and I do like the features. However, I notice it is missing a few things I would have liked. For instants, component switching ( I think it is called?) and pre-outs. I talked with Onkyo and basically to get that I would have to...
That would handle the speakers. Good idea about the cable at Home Depot. Now you hook the speakers to the receiver? and then what do you hook to the sub? I figured I would get some kind of gold plated cables for the components. And then be all set. I just not sure how the sub gets involved in...
Hello again,
Ok, I did it. I ordered the JBL S26II's for the mains and surrounds. I also ordered the JBL S-CenterII and PB10. Along with the Onkyo Tx-sr600. I should be getting it here via UPS in about a week.
Now I have a few more questions. :)
I have never hooked up a sound system...
This is what I think I am going to do for now. Get the JBL S26II's for mains and surrounds. Then in about a year or whenever I actually have a room that I can call the home theater, I could then use those speakers as a 7.1 setup and then get the S312's for the mains. That might be a good upgrade...
Phil,
Based on what you are saying. Keeping all the speakers basically the same ( mains and surrounds). It sounds (no pun intended ;) ) that the JBL S26II would be the best route to go?
Perry
Wow, Guys thanks for the great information. I have been to best buy. I still have not made up my mind yet. However, I do have a few more question in the whole configuration idea. I did look at the JBL S36II. How do you guys like that speaker for the surround? Also, What about a stand for...
Hello, I am new to the form, however I have spent about a month reading the information here. And wow there is a lot of great advice. I am hopping someone can help me figure out what solution would be best for the JBL speaker combination I am looking at. The JBL speakers will most likely...
