thats really sad to hear

I would recommend to try to get as much water out of the covers as possible before they really dry
kitchen paper might be a good idea but not leave it to long on the cover

later maybe newspapers but not flat on the cover as that might stick

absolutely - FITD is also clearly better for me
What kind of lamp is it? LED or Halogen bulp - I assume its not a normal lamp like in the old days because they are just a resistor.

Gear4music has a 30-day return policy and I might buy the 10 year guarantee that includes 180 days return, so I should be alright. :) that is probably a good idea as there are reports ... especially from early batches of the 708 which have failing amp sections. I hope the problem is solved meanwhile.

the question for me still is that related to the size of the speaker (housing or membrane/driver size) or to certain qualities of the speaker like efficiency or max Sound Pressure Level or low distortion, low compression etc. Jajo I assume you can not get the same feeling from the JBL 708 - if not w...

you are right I didnt got the feeling - maybe thats not the music I hear loud

I still have limited understanding about the 308 as of limited optimizing options but I certainly understand already what many people like with them. I expect longer cables to arrive from Thomas soon. That lets me get rid of the adapters and let me place them at an optimal distance and symmetrical i...

what I meant is the feeling hearing from somewhere else and asking me if there is a live band playing downstars with my floorstanders as with the JBLs I have the same feeling only when I am more closer to them meaning in the same room. So I understand what Spannko is saying and what he describes is ...

for me one difference with the 308 compared to floorstanders is that I dont hear the musicality when I am in another room or upstairs. Whereas with the floorstanders I sometimes have the feeling when I am upstairs that downstairs is a private gig of the band in my house. Its not soo much about volum...

If interested in this type of speakers I would surely go for 708Ps. They simply do not have the limitations of 308Ps and use a fine compression driver. sure - but the 308 is a nice demo kit to try out if the route to a 708 makes sense. If you cant make something out of the 308 than moving to the 70...

thats a valid opinion - everyone draws a line somewhere. The JBL 308s need care with the setup - as Jajo described. If you take the effort they reward you with something special. If thats within your lines is something only you can decide. I already hear their potential. But they have limits and tha...

today I swapped stands and even though its only 2cm in height I feel its a clear change but maybe also because the stands now are better connected to the ground. hight is now at 60,5cm (with a room hight of 2,50Meter) distance to back wall is at 10,9cm distance between loudspeakers is 1,45Meter but ...

mmh certainly not what I would expect either - whenever I tried the Skeets instead of a more direct connection the direct connection did win … on my floor which is suspended wooden panels.
Could be also the hight is different now.
These loudspeakers want to be treated with care.

there is a discussion about the 308 and the 708 in audiosciencereview where the 308p scored more points than the 708p measured with Harmans own evaluation test. Measurements can help but not all the time. I trust the ears in this forum more than those measurements. Another example is Linns DVC measu...

for me also clearly Puck
the bass in Hockey was less structured and defined and took away musicality

is Puck with Skeets and Hockey without?

what I was trying to say is the 708 transfers analog to digital and than digital to analog and than drives the ClassD amp where the 308 transfers analog to digital and than uses a digital amp directly without transferring back to analog before so it seems one conversation less. I know its a theoret...

I haven’t tried them again, since discovering that the KDS/308 combo isn’t a good one, however I’m very tempted to follow F’s lead and build them into the TV cabinet! Using JBL 308s without a preamp!? ...say it ain't so Spannko! Ha! No. I tried it but it wasn’t good. My Kairn has stopped working to...

as I see there was no one answering you so far. I am sure you can connect them the same way (unbalanced) as you do with your JBLs 308. As what needs to get what: 1 is ground 2 is signal 3 is inverted signal which to my knowledge in this case would be connected to ground I have the feeling they are n...

Once you get rid of the adapters ,things will normalise Defender are you getting a faint hum from the woofer yes there is faint hum from the woofer - not much but its there. There is more noise from the tweeter which I hear at the listening position - not a deal breaker but I would like it more wit...

I have two stands which I will try. Both are not Linn ones. One is a Mission Stand which will be about 60cm high with spikes and the other is a B&W Stand which will be at around 63cm with spikes so I am in about the right range. But yes if you dont mind and if its not to much hassle it would be gre...

I really like what you’ve done Fred11! As long as you use musically related evaluation criteria, you can only know more now than you knew then. If it’s not as good, go back and start again. If it’s better, try something else (wooden baffle/damping?) and see where that takes you! has the performance...

I like your craftsmanship - its a pitty we cant compare really.

are there any rough torques available for the bass unit of the JBL308? what would be the range to work in? I wondered why I heard some sounds which dont sound right and it seems the front of the JBL308 can be brought into resonance/rattling with some frequencies and I hope I can tame them with torqu...

Lego I have to say your setup sounded wonderfull to me without issues I would address.
But yes for moving the Ninkas out (which you said will happen anyway) and yes for maybe damping the stings of the piano.
But again there was nothing I heard to come to that conclusion in your clips.

when you say the KAN stands having a 60cm height is that already with spikes and on Linn Skeets?
What hight have the stands which Fredrik uses (KATAN stands?) again with or without spikes/Linn Skeets
