5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Speakers!.......2007-02-04

I had been using a pair of Acoustic Research 2-Way Towers for my Front speakers and then I found a pair of used N-38's and I moved my AR's to Rear Surrounds and replaced them with the JBL's. I am sure GLAD that I made this move - these Speakers are what I had wanted and expected - QUALITY Sound, the Sound Spectrum, you hear it ALL, highs, mids, and lows [helps to have powered sub too]. WALA - my Home Theater just stepped UP a notch or two!

5 out of 5 stars Pricing criteria.......2001-03-17

I was looking at the price of floor standing speakers, the JBL Northridge N38s in particular and I noticed that you claim to sell for $199.99 as opposed to a list price of $230+ . I checked out Bestbuy and Ciruit city web sites and they sell for the exact same price at both these locations. So who's list price are you underselling? Also, if I was to buy from you, I'd pay the same cost, a hefty shipping fee and have to wait 4-10 days for delivery. If I buy from the others, I get instant delivery and zero shipping costs. So what is the advantage of buying from Amazon? Just curious.

4 out of 5 stars Great product for the price.......2000-06-12

These speakers have awesome sound for the price. The bass is fabulous. If you want good to great sound these speakers are your choice, if you want great-CRAZY sound, then the Studio Series by JBL is your choice. Be warned, the Studio Series is almost twice as much. . .

Product Description

JBL firmly establishes itself as a leader in the professional sound-reinforcement and theater-sound industries. Whether you know exactly what you want or could use some expert advice, JBL has the right product for your audio needs.

Amazon.com Product Description

Affordable, stylish, and benefiting from JBL's acclaimed speaker technologies, the N38 II floorstanding speaker is equipped to handle up to 175 watts per channel with ease and efficiency. The speaker's three-way design maximizes bass output with an eight-inch PolyPlas woofer and a flared, FreeFlow port that minimizes "chuffing" for seamless, integrated bass. A four-inch PolyPlas woofer handles the midrange, and high frequencies chime from a .75-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeter.

JBL's Straight-Line Signal Path (SSP) crossovers use minimal, high-grade electronics to ensure transparent, uncolored sonic transitions between the three drivers (the crossover points are 1 and 5 kHz). The speaker offers sturdy, five-way binding-post speaker terminals and is video shielded for distortion-free placement near your television.

What's in the Box
Speaker, speaker grille, adhesive felt foot pads, and a user's manual.

4 out of 5 stars Great SOUND.......2006-03-12

These babies make up for the lack of low end with pure clarity. All you need to suppliment these units with is a 12 powered sub with a crossover at 100Hz. Using measuring equipment, I found the response to be VERY flat for sub $5,000 speakers. You can always get better, but you run into diminishing returns on the price. I still can't get over how good they sound when I'm playing "Eagles: hell Freezes Over" and "Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms"

I picked mine up for a $100 each, and would have been willing to pay much more than that. I 4 star them as I find they don't have the sub 100Hz performance required for a 2.0 system. It plays it, but without authority.

5 out of 5 stars Very good speakers for the cost.......2004-04-08

I got a a couple of these speakers with an Onkyo TX-8211 receiver and they have been performing beautifully. The sound was obviously a huge upgrade from the cheapo $100 boombox I had before but more surprisingly was a significant upgrade from my Grado SR60 headphones which I used to use for serious listening earlier (even with the same receiver). Considering I paid only $175 including shipping for each speaker, that is very good value for money and these outperform other speakers twice their price. Of course, they are not as good as the Veritas speakers but then again they are one tenth or so their price.

Another thing to note is that the black ash finishing is actually very well done and this speaker should fit in well even in well-decorated houses (considering I am in a bachelor pad, it is easily the most beautiful piece of furniture in my living room :)

4 out of 5 stars Nice Speaker.......2003-11-11

Good sounds. Buy Two. Be Happy.

4 out of 5 stars Great Speaker.......2003-10-12

This was my upgrade over an Accoustic brand. The JBL was more balance between bass and treble. So, I did notice the treble tinging and more clarity in the sound, less cracking. The Accoustic provided more bass and was starting to crack. With more bass it had a more surreal ambient feeling. It was humming beautifully. The clearer JBL lack that touch of feeling, which I still had not gotten over with. But I did get a new reciever with my JBL so the comparision would not be just on the speckers alone. Overall I am Happy with it.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT SPEAKERS FOR THE PRICE!!!.......2003-08-30

I purchased a pair of these speakers before they were available on Amazon, and the sound, for the bucks, is unbelievieble!!
