Once again, thanks for listening and the kind remarks. The source was the LP12 on both. “AA” is my all analog rig in the basement including an Exposure 18S power amp and Tannoy System 1000 studio monitors... Another one using monitors, not unlike the JBLs thread... Sensing a theme and a direct conn...

I find his reviews less than useful. He's comparing a few streamers in the two reviews. I've still no idea which in which ranking order he puts the streamers.

Did that include trying an Airport Express (2nd Gen) as the WiFi-to-Ethernet device? I have one that I'm trying to decide whether/how to install in my home network. Currently I have cable-modem-router-switch-hakai (wired) I was considering dual routers to separate music from other home network traf...

... We have evaluated a couple of WiFi-to-Ethernet devices, which could replace the switch. Källa would then connect to this device with a cable and the device connects to the router through WiFi. This arrangement is likely to perform worse in most networks than the use of a switch... Did that incl...

The 3677 and the 308P are both thought by many to be lacking in the low frequency department, hence why subwoofers are recommended for the 308P and are/were used by 3677 owners. Adding to the low frequencies isn't the only improvement one might gain by adding a subwoofer. From whom did you hear tha...

I upgraded to 708P since I wanted deeper bass response and more dynamics. They are cerainly closer to 3677 in terms of power but still very different in the way they sound. They are more suitable in normal rooms than 3677 and the frequency range is wider. Ear fatigue is almost non-existant and I ca...

so still in guessing mode - but assuming that means the JBLs I am with tokenbrit although there is always something attractive with standmount speakers I also almost immediately miss something in the lower region of the frequency spectrum. Also in this case I like the Zu Omen more and I wouldnt go ...

I find it a little puzzling how many people bought them and rather quickly sold them (with, it seems, more to follow). 1: You are dealing with a very exentric sub-set of hifi-nerds if you select people who are willing to introduce that kind of speakers in their home, they are also going to change e...

Both systems sound brilliant,but if you were to turn amps & speakers back to hard cash ,it's a no brainer which set I'd be buying.This is a game changer .

+1

I find it a little puzzling how many people bought them and rather quickly sold them (with, it seems, more to follow). I am not one of those. I like them and even in my 50qm listening room they seem not to lack so much in the bass department with my special stands. Matt I know (roughly) who kept th...

We seemed to have moved away from ‘Kalla’ - maybe the moderators could do a spot of tidying up? But - Jajo is the Forum expert on JBl active speakers ( and other active speakers) and he advises Mk 1 308 over Mk2. ( same with 305P). Not sure how far behind the Mk2s are - I have a feeling they must s...

Graham Audio stands ... I’ve been looking around at their webpage, but I don’t find any stands? I spoke to Graham Audio. All of the photographs of their speakers on the website are Graham Audio stands - if you email them they'll send you details of their stands. Adding them to their website would b...

It’s likely similar to the original CD release which might be better than the vinyl. It’s 56 minutes of music LP crammed on a single LP. Maybe. I have listened to it a lot with Hakai as well, and it's nerver sounded anything like this. The Tom Waits releases on SHM-CD were as revelatory to me as th...

I have now moved My Giella Pi to join the JBl 308s - it sounds great 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. Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back t...

Yep. That is obviously the case with any component. A musical component sounds the way it sounds because of the music. No more, no less.

We agree!

In the absence of comparative clips I've no detailed idea of how they'll sound relative to the six sets of loudspeakers I own. With my 3677s I trusted jajo and other members here a few years ago and would most certainly do as well with the 708P. I would always prefer the comments from members here ...
