N38II's (1 Viewer)

[MikeDep]

I was going to buy the JBL N38II's for stereo speakers to compliment my fnished HT....but I dont know number one, how good they will sound coming from a Reciever that only puts out a 100 watts per channel, and hooked up through the B-Channel....any thoughts

the n38IIs are actually more sensative than the smaller bookshelf speakers in the N-series from jbl (n24 and n26, they are equal in sensativity to the n28s) so compared to some other N-series they will be louder with that reciever. also, the sound quality of the N-series is makes it probably the best budget priced speaker lines out there. if Phil I is around he can tell you more about the SQ, but i use n24s and n26s with a 70w/channel onkyo reciever and i love the sound.

Right it might sound great, but will these things Knock pictures off my wall?

If you want to knock pictures off the the wall get hammer or a subwoofer. A small floorstander with an 8" woofer is not designed to shake the house.

 

[MikeDep]

then what do you suggest from JBL to knock things off the wall....

my sub sounds horrible with music :frowning:

 

[MikeDep]

like what about the ND310II's...they have dual woofers.....

Maybe you should think about a better sub. No stand alone speaker system that is rationally priced (under $5000) is going to shake the walls.

This will shake the walls:

1 KILOWATT...HOLY COW.....that thing will drown out all my highs

 

[Stephen Hopkins]

Yeah, but it only goes down to 25hz, so for HT you're missing out on ALOT of information! With that much power they could have used an LT to get the F3 on down around 20hz w/ plenty of power in reserve...

Looks like the kind of product people buy who don't really know what they're buying and think "1000 watts? must be good!"

 

[MikeDep]

my current sub only goes down to 50 hhz

 

[David_Stein]

you are missing a whole bunch if your current sub only goes to 50hz.

like a whole lot.
