Im pretty sure JBL no longer makes the Studio line of speakers but does anyone know why? or if there will be a replacment. Also I have a 5.1 setup now consisting of an s-centerII, 2 s-38's and 2 s-36ii's anyways im looking to go to a 7.1 and would like to get more s-36's which are difficult to locate. Any help would be appreciated

I bet your system sounds incredible.


anyways go here:
www.soundbroker.com

reputable website - have never had a problem dealing with them.

lots of JBL studio monitors although couldn't find s-36. May be worth posting a wanted ad.


where are you located ? would love to hear this setup.


craig.

The newer E50's are the same as the S38's. I don't think there's a new S36 equivalent (I may be wrong). You might get lucky with eBay.

I went with s36's all the way around except for the center. I love these speakers. I don't know if you can get them anymore.

The E50's are not quite the same as the Studio series' S38. The 50 has a 3" inch mid range and a 3/4" titanium laminate tweeter. The 38 has a 4" mid and a 1" fully titanium tweet. I use the EC35 with a pr of S38 for my mains the EC35 is like the E50 in how it differs. Very close match though.


EBAY has S26's and S36 all the time.

Anyone know why JBL cancelled this line? it seems like it was a good line and ppl seemed to like it

 

[DBryant]

I will correct myself. It appears the 50 does have a 4" mid.

I'd say it was due to a desire on their part to simplify their lineup. The Northridge and Studio series were not that far apart price or performance wise. The E Series essentially combines the two lines at a mid-point price.

You can find the S-36IIs on eBay pretty easy, it's the S-38IIs that are getting real hard to find. I understand why you want to stay with the studio line. I run S-CenterII and S-38IIs for front and rear and have never had the urge to upgrade. Take a look http://llasher2.photosite.com/HT/
