Something interesting
I found something interesting I found two kinds of JBL speakers that are the same specs but I would like to know if these are the same speakers. One is the JBL Control 1 Xtreme and one is the JBL Control ONE. I see that the Control ONE is sold in Best Buy or in another country. I saw the specs on the box or the Control 1 Xtreme and it goes 50hz to 20kHz. The Control ONE is the exact same too but its soo confusing on what's the difference.
-
Ya I was woundering about that Control ONE too and what's the difference. That's a good question.
-
I don't know much about JBL model numbers, I have read that huge stores like Best Buy with a low price guarantee get manufacturers to issue a special model numbers thereby making sure that you can never collect on the low price guarantee. "I'm sorry sir, that lower price unit is a different model."

SVI!!! HOW MANY F*CKING TIME DO WE HAVE TO TELL YOU!!! SPECS MEAN NOTHING!!!
oh, and lcswoosh05, please, look elsewhere, JBL sucks... sorry to put it blunt, but their cheap stuff does, the higher end stuff isn't too bad, some love it. but the cheap stuff is:
J unkie
B ut
L oud
So, look around, i bet those are the same speaker, but visit a local hi-fi shop first.
(PS, SVI, that pic is f*cking freaky dude)
-
Well I am a huge JBL fan and I have lot's of speakers from them. I don't think the affordable ones sound that bad as you say they do. But I just was woundering what was the difference on those two speakers. But it might be just the name is different but on the Control ONE the box says it's the orginal series. I looked at the copyright and the Control ONE was made in 2004 and the Xtreme was made in 2002. So the Control ONE might be a newer updated model and maybe better sound but I just need to know if you guys know for sure if the Control ONE is better.
Thanks everyone

does SVI have multiple personalities? and log-in names here?? sure seems like it, didnt anyone notice lcswoosh05 and SVI both spell "woundering" the same way?? :ciappa:
-
Who is SVI? Is he or she your friend? Anyways I found a pic of the box of the Control ONE on ebay. It looks different from the C1X.

I really think you guys are rude to who ever that person is since I am NOT Icswoosh05. That makes me mad. There are other guys that like JBL too so quit it. So what if he spells words wrong that doesnt mean that its me.
-
Why would I make many names if I have 337 posts which the most posts I ever made on all forums. Thats pointless to make other names.
-
yeah, somepeople like JBL, but SVI, you are just an IDIOT, plain and simple, now please leave to that other forum you joined and get the h*ll out of here!
GET, SHOO!!!

I'm sorry...I'm not trying to be rude....but I'm not stupid either. It just makes sense...there can't be two people here with your particular style.

I really really don't appreciate that you guys hate me soo much. I am just posting and asking questions about speakers I seleted. If I wanted to know more about better or different speakers I would put something like "what are the best speakers for music" THEN you guys can say whatever speakers you please and we can compair and see what's best. Ok??? :)

Nobody is hating you, but you are very uneducated about audio, including speakers. People are trying to prevent you from repeating mistakes you have already made, and so far you've been uninterested in that.
-
Well anyways who ever this guy is I would like to know the answer to his question to since I was thinking the same thing and needed to know the answer about the difference on Control ONE and Control 1X that I currently own.

:lol: seriously, it wasn't even a very good attempt at a second identity. And on top of that, he's asked the exact same questions as "Icswoosh" on other forums without assuming different identities.

OKOKOK FINE I am icswoosh05 too I did that because I wanted to start over and start from fresh meaning from people not hating me anymore since I really really felt bad that you guys are picking on me when I am just asking about certan speakers I really like. I just wanted to know how good are these speakers only and not other kinds I know there are other great speakers out there but I am just into JBL alot since my dad said JBL speakers are soo great and he works in a recording studio and plays drums. He use to own the JBL Control 1 pro versions and I really liked them alot. But they are not working anymore and had to be tossed away. I just wanted to know how good is the Control ONE is compaired to my new JBL Control 1X. :)
-
Yes this is Dallas the gay boy I am proving it that its me here but I will be using the SpankingVanillaIce from now and hope people will be nicer to me. :)
-
Anyways to get to the point you guys really hurted my feelings baddly thats why I wanted to start over but that didnt go well.

Just because your dad says they're good for his needs, or in a studio, or however he might be using them has no real weight on whether they're the right speaker for you. Just buying speakers because someone said they're good is a bad way to go. You need to really listen to them to decide for sure if they're right for you.
If you can, listen to both speakers. If that means ordering a pair of each and comparing them, then do that and return the one you don't like. However I really think (as do I think many others here) that you should avoid these two JBL speakers entirely and consider some other options.

you've done it to yourself by not listening to people and taking stock of your situation. People also get upset with you because they give you advice and try to help you, and you just completely ignore them.
How about humoring those of us who say you shouldn't bother with the JBLs and take a visit to some local audio shops and see what speakers they have in the <$500 range for example. You may find something you really like and realize you're better off saving to get something that might cost a bit more. I'd say to look at some of the places we usually suggest to look used, but we know nothing about what you really like in speaker sound (and I don't think you know either) and that just opens you up to more confusion. Plus, if you go to audio shops and listen to the speakers and tell us what you heard and what you liked (and why you liked it) we might be able to give you suggestions based on that which would be within your budget. Consider it a challenge, if you're willing to try it you'll either find you want to stick with the JBLs or that perhaps we're right and in the end you lose nothing.

I went to Best Buy recently that's how I found out about the Control ONE and I thought maybe thats an improved version of the Pro Control 1 and I really liked the sound of the Pro version so I thought that maybe the Control ONE will be better since its made newer too. The reason why I got the Control 1X is since that was the only one that i can get at my price range since the pro one costs more. But I was shocked when I saw the JBL Control ONE the orginal it said so I was thinking to get those and sell my Xtremes. But I just needed to know if you guys think the Control ONE are the same as my Xtremes.
-
nevermind, you'll just continue to be ridiculed :lol:
I thought there was hope for you, but evidently there really wasn't.
-
Why you guys can't just tell me the difference in the two speakers I was talking about?? I mean it's not a hard thing to tell which speakers are better out of the two. Please tell me the difference in the two. I am serious guys and no more making fun on me please.

Nobody has told you because nobody knows. And besides even if we liked one of them better than the other, it might be the opposite for you. Go try them out for yourself, or take a pair home and compare it. If you don't like it, then take them back.
-
Well if you own the 1X's then i'd say they are a newer slightly improved version...you wouldnt think JBL would take a speaker and make it worse would you, now just sit back and enjoy what you have, which is better than the majority of the population that listen to York or Citizen rack systems.
-
Ok well if anyone in here knows these speakers please tell me on what you think they both sound like. I would like everyones feedback and then I can sorta see which is more popular. I can say that for me I think they sound exactly the same from what I heard. Both had same highs and lows and mids. Looked even exactly the same but only difference is the logo and the color of it. I didn't actualy got them and took them home but I just listened to the same music I have and both sounded the same. But I want to know what others think about them too. So if you know about them please post here.
Thank You

January isn't over and i think we have a winner for the quote of the year here :cornut:
-
I didn't bring my speakers and compaired I just rememberd the sound of mine very clearly and just listened to the same song I listen many many times and both sounded the same.
-
Why does popularity matter? And if you think they sound the same, then why do you ask?
edit: ok so you didn't hear them one after the other, so bring yours in with you, or take a pair of the other ones home to compare. That's the only way you'll know for certain because unless someone here has heard and compared we can't help you (and trust me, if someone knew they would have said so already to shut you up).
-
He is so stupid, its actually scary. I woke up and read this thread and all i could do is ROTFLMAO!!!!

Here we go again after I just said please no more rude stuff this person says something rude. :frown2:
-
Well anyways if no one has compaired them but me then I guess I will have to say both sound the same and only very minor looks has changed.
-
That makes me wounder that if anyone has listened to any of the speakers I talked about in the past but has anyone in here have ever listened to the JBL HLS410 or the Sony SS-MB150H? If not then I'am the only judge to decide which sounds better but if any one of you heard on of these please let me know.
Thank You
-
Yay, you got it! nobody here has heard the JBLs you asked about.
As far as Sony vs JBL, I've heard some of the Sonys (and probably the ones you asked about) and I can't see how the JBLs couldn't be better, the Sonys are horrible speakers.
You're still better off getting your head out of your ass, cut the whining act and go try some better speakers (Paradigm, Klipsch, Axiom, AV123, etc).
-
I have been reading this thread too SVI, and also the one you have runnig over at the AVS Forum here.
It appears you are just not happy with these JBLs you own. Why not sell them, and purchase a pair of Paradigms, Tannoys, or B&Ws new or used for example? Just my 2 cents worth after working every day in this Industry for 34 years.
-
Yes SVI....and i will still say it. You are the most mubest person i have ever met anywhere in this world. You are the definition of the word "stupid".....want me to reapeat it again?
-
I'll have to agree with florian, you just don't listen, we're giving some some niec advice, go to a hi-fi store and listen to some higher end brands, find one you like, and save up for it. DO NOT LET THE SALESMAN TELL YOU WHAT TO BUY...
oh, and never ever ever ever go to bestbuy or any bigbox store for audio...PLEASE!
so you live in Omaha, nebraska? I'll try to find some hi-fi dealers for you to visit, please do it! You'll be amazed at how great these speakers sound! i guarantee it! :)
