hey all,
looking for opinions on what JBL center speaker to run with my S4600s for home theatre. Rears tbd later. I was thinking maybe SAM3HA? Array would be nice but bit big and out of my $$$ league
cheers

The best solution is an identical speaker but that is often not an option.
To avoid summation problems you need a speaker with similar crossover points and slopes, resulting in a similar phase behavior.
The 4428 and 4429 come to mind for small speakers (would have to check the slopes though).
I think member bubbleboy76 has a single 4429 for sale...
Yes, I have one 4429 for sale. Very good condition, 3 years old. I bought it new.
It worked excellent as center togheter with my 4365s (that now are sold).
I am selling it for half the current listprice + shipping.
Amazing dynamic sound from this "little" speaker.
The Timberism 4313B quoted was something like "4429 sounds way better than it has any right to do". I can only agree
thanks guys, unfortunately I think shipping to Australia would kill the deal. Also its shape (being tall compared to most "center" type speakers) could make placement a bit difficult in conventional set ups. It does share the same HF and UHF drivers as my S4600 though.

I have Sam3ha. I put this into my system as a replacement for S4hc that I was using before. I was hoping to make a better match for the 2452s in my mains. I was looking for more punch. It's not really there though. I find the 175nd in this Sam3 to be pretty mellow. Smooth. Installed in the system it's actually hard to hear any difference from the S4 that it replaced. It's actually a few db less sensitive, and had to be turned up. I don't mean to imply criticism though, both speakers are excellent.
again, thanks for the replies.
I have just phoned the closest dealer. It will be min 1 week before they get a price back. Such low volume means the dont keep stock and therefor price each time through the distributor..... Im getting a price on both.
Im sure you guys will be shocked in our retail prices over here!

suprisingly I received a email today....
SAM3HA Au$3995 = US$2939.70
Array 880 Au$6499 =US$4782.26
How does that compare to the USA prices?
I have to check he got the correct price for the Array 880 center as he wrote "800Array"....

Regarding to what has been said in this tread guess my LSR32 won`t work very well as center with my "M2" because of crosover points? Otherwise similar dispersion behavior.

I would just test it and see if you enjoy the result.
There's conceptually better and sufficiently better.
