    Quick suggestions for center channel please.

    I like my JBL EC35 and it's in your price range. Actually I don't know what it would cost you from BB. I got mine in that price range from www.bhphotovideo.com. Ubid has some for auction right now too. brad cook

    Suggestions for surround on a budget...

    Dayton sub can only be purchased directly from parts express. Dayton Sub Lately it's been really varying on who has the cheapest JBL. A couple of weeks ago it was www.bhphotovideo.com Last I heard though their prices went up. Try www.jr.com. BH and JR are both authorized dealers. You...

    Does Speaker Wire Reall;y Matter?

    A funny thing happened recently and all of you who hate the cable and wire hype might get a kick out of this. I'm a member of a message board for people who play electric bass. It's the largest such message board on the internet so it draws a lot of advertisers and industry types. Anyway...

    Good music/videogames speakers

    The room is 30x30 feet? That's pretty large. It might be hard to find a GOOD speaker system that will be loud enough to really fill that room. If the room is smaller I'd say maybe Rocket Tykes. In reality I don't think $300 will even get you "something in the middle". It will probably be...

    Oh yeah...I have the Dayton sub too. That's a must for a budget sub if you buy a setup that doesn't come with a sub. brad cook

    Suggestions for surround on a budget...

    Some options for SUPER budget speakers are the Fluance that have been mentioned, speakers from BIC America, Rocket Tykes (you can get the B-stock tykes for $249.99) or JBL Northridge E-series from a number of internet sources (don't do the Best Buy thing if you go that route, they're definitely...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Just had bhphotovideo email me their latest JBL prices...they really HAVE gone up. JR is currently cheaper but again, they only seem to have black. It's amazing that both of those places sell the EC35 for $185 or more when it can be had shipped for $160 or so from several unauthorized...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    smitty - Go to JBL and look through their list of authorized dealers. I believe www.bhphotovideo.com and www.jr.com are the two with the best deals. Then there are others out there that are unauthorized dealers who have good deals but you basically lose your warranty if you buy through them...

    Starwars + B4+ = OMG

    It's sounding more and more like the Star Wars DVDs are overly bass heavy. I also think that the Lord of the Rings trilogy DVDs suffer from that in addition to other sound mix issues. I like bass as much as the next guy but when my sub is practically bottoming out from, say, someone sneezing or...

    I would go with a Dayton sub hands down before I ordered a FLuance sub. brad cook

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Steve, One thing I've heard about the SX-HTB is that the center channel that comes with it sucks and isn't voice-matched to the other speakers. I've heard this from several people who have bought that setup. So, if you do buy that I'd budget for a separate center channel as well. I've heard...

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    Elliot, They will definitely sound different than Klipsch. Klipsch speakers are usually more efficient than most speakers out there and they have their own distinct sound. Well, I'm talking about the modern Klipsch speakers in general I don't know about the older models. brad cook

    SW Trilogy almost blew my tinimighty!!!

    Those settings are too high for the Dayton IMO. Is that calibrated to blend with the rest of your system? If so then you must listen at really high levels! My friend had his Dayton set at similar levels and I was watching a movie at his house and the mix was WAY too bass heavy. He was more...

    speakers

    Also it can be very helpful to many people including yourself if you have a more descriptive title. If the title said "Sony Surround speakers" or "Sony SA-VE367T" then it would probably be more helpful. I know very little about Sony speakers so I can't help you but someone who does know about...

    I haven't seen these posts about harsh sounds. Most people I've seen talking about them have had positive things to say. Can you reference some links? brad cook

    JBL Northridge or Fluance???

    I've only heard good reviews of the JBLs. I love mine. I was just noticing how great music sounds through my E30's today although I got them primarily for HT as most of my music listening occurs in my car. I was considering Fluance at one time but ended up with the JBLs. brad cook

    need recomendations on a budget system

    david*mt - I think the E30's sounded much better than the E20's in a sidexside comparison. Also keep in mind that if you get the E20's you will want some space between the backs of the speakers and the wall or whatever surface they might be near because of the rear porting. The E30's are front...

    E20 or E30?

    Peter, One more thing, where are you shopping that the 30's cost $120 more than the 20's?! I got my E30's at www.bhphotovideo.com. They have the E30's for $149 per pair with free shipping. The E20's are $111.95 shipped. brad cook

    E20 or E30?

    E30's. I bought some not too long ago. They sounded way better and bigger than the 20's to my ears. I'm very happy with my E30's. brad cook

    JBL Subwoofer complaints?

    John, If you are looking for another option then just about everyone here knows about the Dayton Audio Sub from www.partsexpress.com. Do a search here for "dayton sub" and you'll see what kind of rep it has. I have one that I use in a room that is larger than 15x15 plus opens up into my...

    banana speaker wire or not?

    I bought some good ones at Home Depot for, I believe, about 5 bucks a pair. They work great. I just got tired of doing the wire and screw thing everytime I hook up or unhook my receiver or speakers. brad cook
