What is up with the JBL Synthesis systems?

[craigsub]

Here you say they DON'T listen to subwoofers.



And here is your contradiction.

Again, to easy. Then the fact that you said FR graphs are the only measurements.

Easy.

I think we all know who needs to step back for awhile.

Sheep, Now think through this very carefully: Eric does not conduct the AVTalk tests. Charley conducts the tests. You thought your "point was proven" because, in your words, Eric "a man who takes MANY measurements, cares about sound", when it was Charley taking the measurements.

If you need help understanding the logic here, please ask. We will guide you through this difficult task.

The tests themselves are fine for putting together a series of graphs. It is the conclusions which are the problem. For example, on many occasions, people have used just the numbers from AVTalk to declare a "winner" between two subwoofers.

Now, if someone wants to say one subwoofer is louder than another after looking at these graphs, that is possible. However, louder and better are not necessarily the same thing.

And Sheep, I did not say that FR was the only measurement. Try sticking with facts, ok ?

JBL Synthesis (Syn Three)

I am in the process of wiring for a Syn Three... I have been to 3 JBL Synthesis demos in the Phila/NJ area and each time I am completely blown away by the range and sheer impact of the material presented. I have even had an opportunity to listen to a Meridian system, which may have retailed for upwards of $150,000 for the speakers and electronics alone, whereas a Synthesis Three may be in the $40K range. Hands down the Syn blows 99.99% of all other systems completely out of the water, and at that price range I think it may actually be better than 100% of all systems with a $40k retail price.

In my personal opinion it is due the fact that all of the components are completely matched and their EQ of the room is 2nd to none. I can't wait to listen to my finished product!!!
