|   JBL Northridge vs Studio Series help | garrityplus
Apr 13, 2003 6:32 PM | | I went and bought the JBL S26s as I wanted something more compact than my JBL N38s. I bought the S26s unheard, hehe and I am hoping they will perform better. What differences are there between the Northridge and the Studio series, should I notice any difference between the two?
Any help would be great!
Thanks |

Apr 13, 2003 6:51 PM | | I actually own both the N38 and S26. I got the N38 first then added the 26's as my surrounds. As soon as I heard the studios I knew i should have saved my money and gotten all studio's instead of mixing in the 38's.
They are much more clean sounding...less muddy sounding. That said I will hopefully be upgrading my 38's soon. Thinking of B&W 805's or some Dynuadio MKII1.3. |

Apr 13, 2003 6:57 PM | | wow! that makes me feel much better and that my purchase was good. I will let you know what I think when i do a side by side comparison on either wenesday or thursday.
How's the bass on those S26s? compared to the n38s. thats my only concern right now. |

Apr 13, 2003 8:16 PM | | Well...obviously the bass is not gonna be as much,but what u do hear(or i hear) is much more clean/precise bass. As i mentioned earlier, the N38 in my opinion sounds messy. But in that price range what do u expect? Just add a quality sub to those S26's (SVS,Infinity,HGS,HSU,paradigm,etc) and u will have no regrets. |

| I got the Onkyo A-8048V | garrityplus
Apr 14, 2003 2:05 PM | | I got the Onkyo A-8048V which does 80 watts per channel i believe at 8 ohms. It's at least 10 years old, but sounds better than the Harman Kardon HK3370 amp I have with these JBL N38 speakers I got now.
I was wondering if anyone else on this board uses the Studio series or has the S26IIs specifically?
Thanks for your help lothar |

Apr 23, 2003 12:28 PM | | I just bought the S310II for front and the S26II for rears. I recieved the S26's first so I hooked them up and they sounded very nice. I added the Velodyne CHT 10 sub and that seemed to complement nicely. I thought to myself..."What the hell am I going to do with the 310's when they arrive??? These 26's sound pretty damn good. Well the 310's came in and I moved the 26's to the rear and the system sounds sweet. I am using a Denon 2803 @ 90 watts per. You'll be fine with the 26's. |
