We are aware of this issue, and are taking appropriate measures.

ABSOLUTLY POSITIVE! The JBL sub looks as though it may outperform the Boston for the price you listed, and can be used with the Boston system just fine. However, the price you listed for the JBL sub is extremely low. If it isn't coming from an authorized dealer, I wouldn't touch it.

Very concerned about what will happen next.

Have any of you actually heard the JBL Studio L series? I have heard both the Boston VR series and the Studio L series and there is absolutely no contest, the Studio L's are better speakers.

Audioholics reviewed the L880 towers, look it up OP.

 

[2005_gto]

But the JBLS have 2 6.5 inch woofers a 5/14 midrange 1 inch tweeter and a 3/4 inch tweeter.

 

[2005_gto]

The JBLS handle 400 watts the bostons only handle 250

Can you listen to the JBL's? Don't just take anyone's word for it and listen to them first. Do you live near a Fry's by any chance?

That means nothing.

Edit: Buy the 4 L880 towers and the LC2 center but for sub order an SVS PB12-NSD. You will be a bit over budget but the sub will be worth it.

What 400 watt amp do you plan on using?

I don't see the point of the above reply.

The Bostons have 2 7" mid-woofers
One 4.5" mid
And one 1" tweeter.

$2071.25 This will smoke that JBL system.

May be used with the JBL sub if prefered.

Agreed this will SMOKE the JBL's......

Have either of you actually heard any speakers in the JBL Studio L line?

Dude, JBL can't touch Boston. If it were any other two speakers, I would chalk it up as preference. But here, your reply is absurd.

 

[2005_gto]

I plan on using the Onkyo TX-NR906 which is 145 watts RMS x7. And if i have to ill buy another amp. I live in oklahoma so i dont know if theres any places where i can actually listen to these

LOL. My reply is absurd yet you have not actually heard both speakers.

If your receiver claims 145 watts, then as long as the speakers you are looking at can handle close to that, then you are ok. There is no need for you to choose a speaker because it claims it will handle 400 watts.

Or, because it has two tweeters.

[2005_gto]

My receiver says its 145 RMS power per channel. THe JBL's say the handle 150 watts continous power

There is no need to get all caught-up in power specs. A speaker system that claims to handle 50 watts each will run off of that receiver. It's not that big of a deal. Seriously.

 

[2005_gto]

So then which receiver should i get?? Because one is $350 dollars the other is $2000
