Hey guys. I'm upgrading my sony HT in-a-box with a JBL S-center and either S36's or S38's for my mains. Also, I am building an Adire Tempest DIY subwoofer with a 250W PE amp.
One more thing, I am at college and live in a small apartment. My couch is probably only 6-8' away from the TV (or mains).
The S36 doesn't quite go as low (60Hz vs. 45Hz), but I'm thinking my new sub will handle any and all bass. I was all set to buy the S38's, but then I discovered the S36's. I like the fact that I can mount them on my walls, and that they are a couple bucks cheaper. Of course I'd have to use that extra $$ to buy my wall brackets.
Both come highly recommended, but the S36's are more often quoted as good surrounds. Do you think they are fairly even? If that is the case, then I might go with the S36's b/c I can mount them. OR if the S38's are superior, I have no problem sticking to my origional plan and purchasing them.
Thanks!
