| Klipsch heresy questions These are hard to beat for the price. Bass can be boomy but the mid and high horns are great. I agree that you should listen for yourself, though. I grew up with a pair of these speakers in the '70's and unfortunately many modern hifi speakers jus... | |
| JBL M2 speaker system .... I guess not :( | |
| Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners Has anyone used the SDEC as an active crossover for this speaker? | |
| JBL M2 speaker system .... Revival of old thread.2+ years since release.Anyone had experience with these speakers?How about the Crown amps? | |
| Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners Hi,I thought I would add something new.I have been using a First Watt F5 on these speakers. The sound is very clear and real. I like it a lot.When I want dynamics, though, it's back to the 350.8! | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Sorry, my mistake.I meant Fourier. What a dope I am! | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? -Wow, very interesting reading in this post. Better than most!I don't know what "Fast Gear" is. I would steer away from such terms.Low noise, low distortion. That's what sounds good.As for transient response, that's what it's all about. Laplace sh... | |
| Room treatment I second the ATS recommendation.Their panels are well made, effective, and priced fairly.Do get some without the wood panel on the back. They can then work to some degree as bass traps if mounted some inches from the nearest wall.Absorption works ... | |
| Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners -Oh, yes.I also used an Audio Research Ref 110.It's been awhile now but I seem to remember liking the combination well enough.I would like to hear the JBls with the new Ref 150.I just finished listening to Bartok For Children, Jeno Jando, Piano (N... | |
| Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners -Yes, the dynamics are really fantastic.I can't believe that there is not more interest in this speaker. I have not heard anything I like better yet, and I have been at this for awhile. The compression drivers, once heard, are impossible to deny.I... | |
| Any JBL 1400 Synthesis Array owners -Hi,I have a pair that I have been using for a couple of years now.Currently I use a Pass Labs X350.8.Prior was a Pass Labs X350.5.This is a lot of power for a 89dB speaker, and sounds great!Full scale. As loud as I want.These speakers can take th... | |
| Does JBL get a bad rap? An unveiling in January?This sounds very exciting!What next??? | |
| Does JBL get a bad rap? YES!You have to hear a well implemented compression driver to comment!The Array 1400 are a very sophisticated speaker. Paired with a low distortion system upstream they are very musical and real sounding.The dynamics are secondary to none.I have h... | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? Then too, is this CD or LP.If LP, cartridge set-up could be the issue. | |
| Issue setting up Graham Phantom II Supreme I don't know why, but the anti skate bracket is sticking. (Bearing?)The arm is not working properly and will not track correctly.I imagine that a close inspection should yield the culprit! |
