The 604K are also quite nice, I have the 604G. The 604K have the Mantaray horns.JBL has their LSR series of monitors...the little one is the LSR-25P that is like a high-end control 1 but bi-amped and has built in amplifiers!!! Steve ------------------

Mike, what do you mean by "used a seperate JBL suround speaker with the 8330."?I pretty much know the JBL product line of the past and present. The 8000 series started as utility foreground music systems. The 8330 was the out-growth of the 8325. The 8325 was nearly identical to the 8330 in components but did not have a cinema EQ on it and it arranged the drivers in a vertical orientation. A little more on the JBL lore...the "8" was the 8000 series (kinda like we have the 3000, 4000, and 5000 series stage speakers), the "3" was to signify a 3-way, which the 8325 and 8330 was. When the next speaker came out, the 8340 and 8333, they blew their naming convention since both were 2-ways but were given the higher number to signify superiority. To make matters worse, when what is now known as the 3310 came out, it was initially designated the 8310 to keep with the same series (8000) as the other surround speakers but was changed to the 3000 series (entry level cinema) instead. Some used the 8216 as a surround speaker in smaller cinemas (2-way and quite small). Perhaps that is your funny little speaker? Steve ------------------

Hey, Steve: Is it possible that they got the initial inspiration for the first digit ("3" for screen speakers and "8" for surrounds) based on the typical quantity used in an installation?Is there a way to make sense out of the model numbers they assigned to the transducers? What's really the difference between a 2035H and a 2226H? I wanna know, dammit!  For Jason: JBL 8330's are intended as cinema surround speakers and you could indeed have them in all of your theatres. How come you were thinking that you got confused?
