I thought you get 708P?
I have a pair on order, but they are delayed so I got a pair of 308's until they arrive. I have a friend who will buy them when the 708's arrive.
Would it be possible to do clips comparing?Please ...
Of course!!!

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: JBL 308P and 708P

I have a pair of 308 on their way to me since my 708’s got delayed and I couldn’t bare the silence any longer. So I’m going to be able to compare them directly.

Re: Crown amplifiers

For my main system I’m getting 708P, expecting them to be better. It’s just that I look at the 3677 and feel I can’t get rid of them, so I was thinking about moving 3677 to the summer house. Of course that’s idiotic given that the summer house is rather small. Maybe I should just sell them. But for ...

Crown amplifiers

Given that the active JBL monitors seem to be so highly regarded among many members of this forum, it makes me wonder if anyone has experience with Crown amplifiers - supposedly the amplification built into those speakers? I have ordered a pair of 708's to replace my tundra mono/JBL 3677, but I don'...

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...

What, you don't think a 4645C is reasonable size? :-) Well, it's maybe not so much about what I think is "reasonable" as the fact that I don´t have room for it. It's also that I can’t get my hands on stands for it, and that it becomes a bit pricey considering that I need another tundra mono. :) EDI...
