JTR Speakers?

[Jeff Permanian]

Now, if only we could get Jeff to make the T8's in piano black, I'd buy 5 of them!

Premium finishes for the Triple 8.

Piano Black or other gloss automotive finishes= +$200
Cherry, walnut, maple, mahogany +$400, 8-12 weeks

And now things get interesting...

I just purchased the Triple 12LF's (LCR) and will be wall mounting them behind a AT screen that I ordered today. Getting a new projector as well (JVC RS10) that should be here in Nov. I did a quick listen last night and I do not regret the speaker decision.

and i didn't call this?

i knew you'd upgrade/change something. it's not you to stick to what you have. (cough gothams cough)

but now that you've ordered, i expect pics and comparisons - side by side

If you want to leave those Studio's curbside I can be at your place in about 9-10 hrs to pick them up.

Kay, thanks!

I got tired of waiting for you to predict my next move

Will be posting some pics but the complete room re-do won't be done for a while. It will be everything either in-wall or behind the screen and I mean everything (except the seating). I am selling the Fathoms(F113's first) and will be doing something really big but invisable LFE wise .

Too cool, color me green with envy.

 

[mike c]

i really really wish you had 220v.

good luck with your redesign, what? take all of 2 days? you build fast

IB? multiple sealed in walls?

Wow, thanks for being around and making me feel very sane! Or, maybe you are slowly drawing me deeper into insanity without me knowing it....

Quad IWS'? I presume your Fathoms are in gloss, not satin.

WTG on AT. I love my RS-1, so hopefully RS10 will be a marked improvement. Blacks and contrast are excellent, although people do complain about oversaturated colors. Still, you don't see too many people returning them!

Kay, thanks!

If I could aford to give them away, you would be at the top of the list. I'm serious about that Matt ... Thank you for your level headedness as a Mod here and for your service to our country.

The Studios are great speakers and I will miss them. I don't listen to music enough to justify having them. I found the JTR's more dynamic (100db sensitivity) and they can play really loud keeping up with my excessive subwoofage. The Revels trump them in detail but at 5X the price.

Glad I can help you on your journey

Yes, the Fathoms are gloss. I'm going IB (as Mike predicted) or perhaps a new as yet unannounced Danley product that would live behind my AT screen along with the JTR's.

I just saw a demo of the RS1 and that prompted me to pre-order the RS10. I may still do the RS20 but neither is actually available yet. Only prototypes have been seen at this point so I think the comments may be unreliable.

 

[jostenmeat]

IB. Aw man, I'd like to hear one of those sometime. I think you mighta said once that the PJ was not nearly as important to you as the audio stuff, but if you can swing it, aw hell go for the RS20. Or if that's going to be too much, maybe there will an RS-2 for sale. OTOH, the RS20 might have color correction abilities not inherent in the RS-2... which, well, aw hell ok nm....

edit: Um, are we hijacking? Is this, like, your thread yet?

I'm selling my SW118's... throw a big amp in and they should make some LFE speakers....

I want to see/hear how things turn out.

I'm going to be doing some adjustments this weekend but this is what they look like just setting them in place of the Revels. You can see why I will be wall mounting them behind the AT screen... no? .

Invisible they will be, see them I will not. These babies behind a 137" fixed AT screen with an IB sub setup ... can you say mini IMAX. Well, that's what I'm shootin for.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't mind the look of them. Keep in mind I am used to/like chunky pro-audio stuff. Bigger is better!

I thought it was a bad idea to wall mount things (ie. for proper acoustics)???

I guess you could say they look industrial cool. I decided it wasn't worth getting a better looking finish as I didn't want to see them anyway.

I spoke with Jeff about this and he said that the wall boundry may boost the midbass a bit but EQ can take care of this if it is a problem.

It's been a while since I've been to one but as I recall, theater speakers are usually not on the floor.

thanks to your pics, now i realize that the bluish driver must be the coaxial driver.

if you wall mount the L and R's, wouldn't you be raising the tweeter to high? maybe if you had gotten three JTR centers?

those are massive btw. you gotta pm me the prices

Good catch Mike, That is the coax driver and you are also correct about the potiential offset if I place them vertically as planned. I asked Jeff Permanian about this and his comment was that many LCR's exibit some offset in the drivers and essentially, don't sweat it.

I could mount the center horizontal to align the coaxial's but since the degree of offset is small (less than 1') I'm not concerned. I've been living with more than that with the Revels with no noticable effect.

Yes, they are massive and after listening to some rock and roll this afternoon I gotta say they sound pretty sweet. IMO, if you can deal with the looks/size, they are a great value HT speaker.

MSLP is just south of $1500 each.

Is there a difference in the enclosure behind each driver that would stop you from changing the L/R to a LHL configuration instead of the LLH? I know I've seen the T8's setup either way. If you're going to the extent of building them into your wall, I'd go to the extent of having the L/C/R completely level (I'd even go as far as running them all horizontal or all vertical).

Just my $.02 of course...
