    Peter: Thanks for the reply. Did some searches and came up with this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...100-005&depa=0 It says it will do 720x480 and the price is right. Anyone have any experience with this model? I'm sure the editing is quite limited, but I'm really just looking for...

    Anyone using JBL N-Center II?

    "Quote: Thanks for all the input. So the N-center's plastic enclosure could be a problem?" No, the plastic enclosures are just fine, the link describes a way that might improve the resonance properties a bit, but most everyone is quite happy with these speakers the way they are...

    Anyone using JBL N-Center II?

    I had the N-CenterII, first with N24II's all around then with N38II's for mains. I consider them outstanding for their price range. Recently I traded up to the JBL's Studio Series but I think you would be very pleased with your setup. The Studio series are a bit smoother on the highs but the...

    "can you explain this distortion in more detail?" Carlos: My composite out is my only video out on my AVR-225 and I would not be using it with any video input. When the problem starts its just like the image jumping and shifting around, if you keep using the video out it usually gets worse...

    Center too much weight for my Sony RPTV??

    Awhile back I noticed that my JBL N-Center (10-lbs) was bowing the front Bezel down on my Sony KP-57WS510 CRT RPTV. After upgrading to an S-Center (15-lbs) I wanted to try and fix this problem. I made a shelf from 6'' wide 3/4" MDF, cut it the same width as the front Bezel and on the back...

    JBL or Athena

    Joey: I had the NSP1 II system for awhile and still have the Dayton Sub. For the money I think this setup is one of the best available. If your set on spending under $500 for a 5.1 setup with subwoofer go for it. There are some good deals on the NSP1 setup on Ebay, I've seen some go for...

    Home Theater Setup ?s

    I like the JBL S-Series option. I had the NSP1 setup both with and without N38II's as mains. I much prefer four S26II's and a sub to the Northbridge combo's you listed. Onecall.com has the S26II's on clearance for $140 per pair plus shipping. Great deal IMO...

    I got one of these off of Half.com the DVD is a must have for any Eagles fan. I got a keep case with it but it didn't come with a booklet for the inside. Was I shorted or not? The seller said it didn't come with one but thats hard to believe.

    JBL Northridge Series Speakers

    Glen: Sorry, didn't realize where you were. The N38II mains, N24II surrounds and N-CenterII I had will sound simular to the E-Series as I believe they all use the same 3/4" Titanium Laminate tweeter. You just set the speakers for "Large" instead of "Small" in the receiver and it sends...

    JBL Northridge Series Speakers

    Buy your receiver and DVD player first. Now, go to your local Best Buy and pick up most if not all of these speakers and bring them home for an audition. Take back the ones you don't like, or take them all back if you find a better deal somewhere else. Its really hard to know how well you...

    Speakers around $700

    I love my JBL S26II's, these might be a bit large for you but they have a 6" driver so they will have alot better mids and bass than smaller satelites. Using Phil's Home Depot hardware they mount easlily on walls for your back surrounds. OneCall.com has them on clearance for $144.00 per pair...

    JBL - N38II Questions -- Usage and Height?b

    Just received two N38II refurb's from Harman Audio to upgrade my N24 mains. One of them was pretty rough on the cabinet but I have sent an email to Harman to fix this. The N24's were obviously set to small so initially I turned off my Dayton Sub, and set the N38II's the same way to do some...
