In Reply to: S312 JBL posted by oldroadie on April 16, 2004 at 15:28:02:
These and the 412s seem pretty popular at AR. I might like them. I had some speakers, Spectrums, that had some mid "horny" type colorations. I used them for several years and enjoyed them.
Follow Ups:
The kids repossed my 4311's when I brought my Ureis home from the job. I kept the Ureis in the livingroom for the 5.1 since its a major improvement from the 4311's.Well, this new music that they listen to, combined with age, dry rot, and a cheap amp took out the 4311's. So I replaced them with the S312's. They were very smooth, and for some alternative listnening, I kick the kids out of their rec room and give them a listen every now and then.
The mids are very open, then high end extends smoothly on the top, but when driven hard it can get very razor like (that may be the panasonic reciever too).
Can't beat the west-coast-sound JBL bass from these guys.The rec room is 50 x 80 and these guys can fill it up with a 50 watt amp.
I was so pleased I grabbed a S center and S 308's to fill out the kids 5.1. A pro jbl sub provided in a custom cabinet rounds it off.
Push all of this with a new panny 100W amp in 5.1, and I became the coolest dad on the block. I always know where my kids are. Now to work on the upstairs/downstairs acoustic insolation ....

I would have pushed off your comments in the past. These low priced "generic" speakers can't be that good, I would have thought.Then I read the Reina review of the Infinity Primus speaker in Stereophile. It is a rave and it's dirt cheap. JA even had to admit its excellence in some ways. Grudgingly, though. He had to mention it was made in China.
JA also placed it in category E, even though Reina said its midrange resolution was comparable to speakers in the $1K range and bettered some costlier recommended speakers.
