JBL Synthesis SDP-75


Seeking thoughts on the JBL Synthesis SDP-75 and alternative options.

Harmon rep is pushing the synthesis lineup (with in wall/ceiling speakers)  for our new home theater.

We are elicited about this option, but don’t know much about the Synthesis products.  This is a big investment for us and want to be sure we are heading in the right direction.  We noticed the SDP-75 was released 5+ years ago and wonder if there was something in the price range more contemporary that we might be overlooking.

Had a pair of L100s back in the day - and was impressed back then.  Hoping the old school rep lives on.

Appreciate thoughts.

Thanks stereo5 - figured, but now embarking on HT setup and don’t have context fot the synthesis line.
i own the Trinnov Altitude 16 processor for the Home Theater. the SPD-75 is a re-badged version of the Trinnov Altitude 32, which is very similar.

Audiogon is the wrong place to ask about the JBL Synthesis SPD-75. the SPD-75 (Trinnov) is the most capable and sophisticated multi-channel dsp processor on the market and deserves the best possible support and set-up processes.

you need to go to the AVS Forum to this thread.

or the Trinnov thread here;

there are many really knowledgeable owners of both units that are very active there. and Trinnov monitors those threads. any questions get answered quickly. i’m still a Trinnov newbie myself and have received lots of help there.

2 channel audio? Audiogon does a good job with help for that. but it has a marginal knowledge base for multi-channel help. the heavy hitters in multi-channel dsp are on AVS.
