Hi guys/gals,
Just browsing along on ebay one day last week I saw some JBL l830's and my curiosity got the best of me... I always wanted to own a pair of JBL speakers and these seemed to be part of what some would consider to be a respectable system, the newer Studio L series. So, i placed a bid and won them!

I currently own the following pairs of bookshelf speakers:

Infinity Primus 150
NHT SB-2
B&W 601 S1
DIY:
Modula MT

If anyone is interested, I do plan to note any subjective differences along with some FR sweeps since this semester is pretty much done

Happy holidays all!

Is this what you got?

They are not so inexpensive for bookshelf speakers. Glad you snagged a good deal.

Looking forward to your comparisons.

Exactly that! but, in the cherry finish. Found some pics on google.

Glad I snagged the deal as well

They're scheduled to arrive next week weds, after my finals

Those SVS speakers are awesome from what I've read. I've wanted a pair of those for a while now. I guess you can consider me the bookshelf speaker collector

The PB-10 has had my interest from day 1.

Those look much better than my L112's!

They look even better in person

They're sitting atop their stands being broken in at this point, and I love what i hear from them. Possibly the most neutral speaker of my store bought bookshelf speakers. They're extended in the highs without sounding harsh at all, even with poorly recorded MP3's.

One complaint though, is that they seem to be tuned relatively high which can be good depending on their use. They're tuned to have a hump down low, maybe around 50-60hz. For those with limited space and looking for a 2-channel pair with great imaging and bass these should be a consideration. Those looking for a set to use as surrounds might want to stay away from these, they're HUGE and i could never imagine them being mounted on any wall they're that big, unless you stand mount your surrounds.

I liked the JBLs so much I won a pair of JBL L820s to match the L830's.

These are the 4-way 5" thick wall mount surrounds/mains.
