BladeRnR Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I might hold you to that and bring the Trip 12's over to your place for a A/B test when your Catalysts arrive. That would be one very popular comparison I'd imagine Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your self a favor and have a read of the AVS forum threads on the JTR range. You will be sold for sure! We have both heard the Sig 8's and while they are a VERY nice speaker they will perform VERY different to the Trip 12's. If HT is more of a priority than music what ever you do, hold off for 3 weeks. I won't be able to fire them up for a few months yet so I would be more than happy to try them out at your store or your place. One condition though.... You have to arrange getting them there. The 3 trip 12's come in at about 200kgs and won't fit in my little civic. Edited March 12, 2010 by Jason V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd need one with a good amp section (THX Ultra or better specs) though to drive the 4 ohm load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment though it's just not possible. My room, in it's current state is just a big empty wooden box filled with about 20 other boxes and about an inch of saw dust. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a charge of 1hr of cleanup for 1hr of auditioning is fair That way it's a win win for both lol. You get to speed up your room construction and they get to audition speakers they otherwise wouldn't be able to eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drizt Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Between this and blades Seaton thread I have become really interested in hearing some high efficiency, high power handling speakers (particularly these two brands). The seatons appeal to me more due to them being active (makes the system simple to setup, clean, uncluttered etc.) but these JTR's seem to be at a very competitive price point. I could see a 11.4 HT system in my distant distant future and these would be high on the audition list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a 11.4 HT system in my distant distant future and these would be high on the audition list No doubting that the JTR's are at a great pricepoint. However as you are aware first hand, there are differences between active and passive speaker systems. Having an active one now and getting used to that sort of sound, you may prefer the Catalysts over the Trip 12's. But without listening to both, you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Blade.....jokes, jokes Mate I'm all for options and the JTR's & Seatons both have their place in the world (Of course). I doubt I'd be disappointed with either brand of speaker but mainly went with the Catalysts as they were built with HT in mind first and foremost (Along with their power).

Blade I meant neck and neck in delivery time NOT performance. As far as performance goes it's a one horse race with the Seatons in the the front. 6000w has got to account for something lol.

You'll have your JTR's long before I have my Catalysts at this rate. And with dual Subwoofers it's 8000watts Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gior Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Drizt, I have a feeling that the big push on the midbass is room related. It's a summative effect of all those 8 inch drivers I reckon. My room has an odd half dodecagon front (bay window setup) that focuses midbass into the listening position I think. Jeff says he has voiced the speakers flat in midair and should know what he's talking about (I hope anyway lol). If my ankle were better (and I had my laptop back) I'd take them outside to check but right now, I think I'll just assume it's from the room and see what Audyssey can do with it. No harm having free midbass imo Amp power can be allocated to other less power hungry areas instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
