 Hey everyone, i'm new to this forum, i have chance to get these jbl l830 for cheap but was wondering how they would match up with my paradigm center speaker, thanks in advance |
You don't want to mix speaker brands and in many cases not even different series from the same speaker company. Its all about voice matching, so as the sound travels from one speaker to another the timbre stays the same.
About the JBL Studio L series, that is a great line of speakers, and certainly for what they can be had for online. I bought a pair of the L890s most of two years ago and they can deliver the goods.

I returned to listening to them a few days later and immediately noticed a rattling / buzzing noise coming from one of the speakers. I swapped them around and it followed the speaker. I was listening to Kid A and something hit a frequency that really brought the noise out. I swapped to a different disk and I had to go put my ear to the speaker to find the noise, but once I found it, I could hear it at the listening position again |
Were you running them full range, or did you have a sub connected? They're only rated down to 48htz and being they're ported the woofers won't be protected as they would in a sealed system.
