Can you describe what "great" sounds like with the JBLs or perhaps post comparative clips please? This JBL thread would be more meaningful if we had more of an idea of what they sound like.

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

My experience with miniDSP is not positive. What was that experience Jajo? Apparently the JBL DSP code has been hacked and verified by JBL. I’ve owned one miniDSP and tested a few more and they never performed well. Even in passthrough mode they destroy the musicality. Thanks Jajo, I really appreci...

I recommend the LSR310S subwoofer from the same series as the 308P. It is a very musical subwoofer that has a built-in filter that is tuned perfectly for 308P. Signal would then go to the subwoofer and then on to the 308P. A friend of mine use 308P with two LSR310S (one per channel) with superb res...

Ahead of receipt of my 308P I had a look at a few reviews of the 708P and 308P. There was some consensus that the 308P performs better with a subwoofer. At less than £90 the attached enables a subwoofer to be attached and the DSP to be adjusted via MiniDSP. Having a good quality subwoofer to hand I...

Many thanks Neil. Erudite and balanced as always.

The Taiko Extreme didn't?

I have to disagree that this would be a breakthrough. May we have this noted in the records for future reference please! Even if Kalla is supremely musical (which seems to be the case reported here) and more musical than any other digital player, that is an improvement, not a breakthrough. A breakt...

Lol at biding their time. Great stuff. Also fantastic that the forum has come up with a pair of speakers that are both musical and a fraction of the price of their comparators, but ALSO provide amplification, saving another small fortune! Im tempted to source a pair and store in the attic for a fut...

Without going too much off-topic, but connecting a Källa to the analogue input of an Exakt system is going to be inferior

Isn't a similar situation with a Källa being connected to JBL308P or JBL708P?

The recording and distribution industry should’ve stopped right there instead of thinking up ways of selling us what we’d already bought but in an “improved” format 🤬🤬🤬 If only they'd kept to 78rpm..... In the real world we've this wonderful thing called technological progress. Sure it has hiccups ...

I seem to have four or five copies of Kind of Blue on silver disc. One is the dual disc (SACD/CD on opposite sides). The original CD is terrible. For me, the Legacy version sounds like Dolby has been applied. The version that sounds right is Miles Davis and Bill Evans Complete Studio & Live Masters.

The three who disliked the clip aren’t.

Ron The Mon

I didn't dislike the clip. This forum is source first beginning with the music masters. To my ears the clip doesn't portray the source very well.

My recommendation list so far for studio monitors would be 1) JBL 708P 2) JBL 308P MK1 3) JBL 305P MK1 4) JBL 308P MK2 5) JBL 305P MK2 6) Genelec 1029A Hi Jajo, thanks for your recommendation list. I would be interested giving the 308P mk1 a try. How to differentiate the mk1 from mk2 - is this ment...

The DSP code for the 708 has been hacked. So there's now no requirement to use the Crown amplifiers with the 708i.

Congrats Fredrik,
maybe the LP12 of digital streamers?

Matt
+1, at lest on clips here ...

Matt,

Better than your irl impressions of the Taiko Extreme or the clips of the Linn Organik?

I own thousands of CDs and I've had one that decayed to the extent it couldn't be played. So far :)

Given that the 708p and 708i models seem to differ only by the i model being driven by the user's own amplification has anyone tested a set of 708i with a Linn, Naim or Lejonklou amplifier?

I'm trying to block out the Lack of respect for the musicality of all things IKEA :)

The designer of the JBL 3677, Greg Timbers did an interview here: https://positive-feedback.com/interviews/greg-timbers-jbl/ A review of the Everest speakers he had in his own system made interesting reading, eye watering cost: https://www.hifinews.com/content/jbl-project-everest-dd67000-%C2%A370000

They maybe want to clarify the websites and pics. I would expect a manufacturer to display accurate images of the product in use.
