JBL Synthesis SDP-75


Seeking thoughts on the JBL Synthesis SDP-75 and alternative options.

Harmon rep is pushing the synthesis lineup (with in wall/ceiling speakers)  for our new home theater.

We are elicited about this option, but don’t know much about the Synthesis products.  This is a big investment for us and want to be sure we are heading in the right direction.  We noticed the SDP-75 was released 5+ years ago and wonder if there was something in the price range more contemporary that we might be overlooking.

Had a pair of L100s back in the day - and was impressed back then.  Hoping the old school rep lives on.

Appreciate thoughts.

Hi, is it the SCL synthesis in wall line you are considering? If you are new to  JBL synthesis then I recommend having a listen to the speakers first and decide on how many channels before deciding on the receiver.
i own the Trinnov Altitude 16 processor for the Home Theater. the SPD-75 is a re-badged version of the Trinnov Altitude 32, which is very similar.

Audiogon is the wrong place to ask about the JBL Synthesis SPD-75. the SPD-75 (Trinnov) is the most capable and sophisticated multi-channel dsp processor on the market and deserves the best possible support and set-up processes.

you need to go to the AVS Forum to this thread.

or the Trinnov thread here;

there are many really knowledgeable owners of both units that are very active there. and Trinnov monitors those threads. any questions get answered quickly. i’m still a Trinnov newbie myself and have received lots of help there.

2 channel audio? Audiogon does a good job with help for that. but it has a marginal knowledge base for multi-channel help. the heavy hitters in multi-channel dsp are on AVS.
Thanks stereo5 - figured, but now embarking on HT setup and don’t have context fot the synthesis line.
