Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Yes, but not in a reliable environment unfortunately. My gut feeling is that they are not something to go for. 4670 and 4675 seem to share all components exempt the horn (but with the same driver), and a different setting on the filter. It does seem like they should be really similar unless the hor...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

The best JBL speaker I ever heard is the JBL 4675C (probably, because of their size I haven't been able to compare them directly to 308/708P but I trust my gut feeling here). There are probably many fantastic speakers in their lineup but there are also many that aren't performing (like the 3678, 47...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

On the other side he concludes that the Dutch Grimm MU 1 is more ‘rooted, more realistic’, but for a higher price. Can he be right or is the conclusion probably because of his setup? I find his review to be very technical and more on the analytical side (sound character) rather than emotional (musi...

They need 1-2 hours from fully cold to warm up and perform.

I never switch them off normally, only on a longer vacation away from home.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Initial impression of 308 (not installed, cold equipment; no love at all) compared to TM/3677 is not encouraging at all. It sounds really bad to be honest. Hopefully the will sound better when everything has warmed up and they are installed properly, but I have to admit I find it difficult to belie...

Re: Källa for TV sound

It can also be good to make sure to disable all "picture improvement features" on the tv as they can introduce delays that aren't accounted for in the processing delay in the EDID output of the display. Such features can be sharpness/upscaling or motion smoothness. The reason why lipsync is rarely a...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

This gain knob is used for fine tuning the speakers and should not be used as a volume control. The lowest setting is not low enough for most people and sounds horrible.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

These Mk 1 308s are incredibly musical and enjoyable. I’m currently listening to them with Kalla and Giella Pi and continue to be very impressed. I’m tempted to consider the 708Ps for the additional jump in musicality (according to Jajo) but am concerned the Bass may be too much- I find the 308s qu...

Re: Crown amplifiers

I used Crown amps in my previous cinema. Tried many different models. XLS-1500 are decent. Pretty far from Tundra though but can work ok in simple systems. Keep in mind that Pro amplifiers are noisy because of the fans. Crowns also has a bad Signal To Noise-ratio which will give an audible hiss from...

Isn't a similar situation with a Källa being connected to JBL308P or JBL708P?
Perhaps, with the difference that the JBLs are much more musical than any Exakt system I ever heard.
Hilarious!
Have you heard 708P?

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

@Jajo: Do you think that there is a way to combine the 310 (or any other active sub of reasonable size) with 3677? Sure. 3677 is made to be used with a sub. You might have to look at alternatives to using the builtin crossover in 310 though. It was tuned for JBL 3-series. But it would most likely s...

Today when I was listening to music and reached the end of my playlist, Spotify decided to play me some random music.

Re: Källa for TV sound

Had a chance to try it tonight.

This feature unfortunately only works with HomePod. Källa can only be selected as a "Temporary Audio Device" and not a "Default Audio Device" and because of this the eARC option does not appear.

Re: Källa for TV sound

Does Apple TV remember it is Airplaying to Källa, or does this have to be set every time? You can connect several control points to Källa and I haven't noticed any reduction in performance caused by multiple connections. Most of the time they can remain connected for a very long time and as long as...

Re: Lejonklou and Harbeth?

Please share more details about lip sync. How will Apple TV know about the delay in Källa over airplay to sync the picture? Is it a two-way protocol? Yes, it is a two way protocol. I have shared my experiences with Apple TV and Källa here: https://www.lejonklou.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=60502#p60502
