JBL LSR308 - the p stands for powered but doesn’t appear in the product name.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

here is an update from my side - the 308‘s perform exceptional when carefully installed they are simply the most musical speaker I have heard independent of price. all what is important was said by Jajo before but do yourself a favor and take care with the installation. They need a good connection t...

Re: JBL 3677

why do you expect the same or better performance compared to what you have just from looking almost equal - are you plan to buy them?

Re: Two clips to compare

How warmed up was the 7.1?? Both were cold and plugged in about a minute before being recorded. When one was playing music, the other was completely unplugged from everything, including mains. And when you personally compare PRaT between (1) & (2) right there in your listening environment what conc...

Re: Two clips to compare

thats funny Robert, for me it is the opposite.
on track 1 the individual instruments fighting for attention and on track 2 they play together without me refocussing from one instrument to another.

Since it is posted in the Lejonklou section there must be a (new) Lejonklou product involved.
My guess:
1 Giella Pi
2 Giella Pi circuit with an optimised SMPS
could be - but why is the TV running than?

Re: Two clips to compare

Well I said what it is for others but I didnt say what it is for me because I struggled with „follow the tune“ in the beginning. As every music has a certain tune which in my opinion is easy to hear. But the instruments play different tunes which support the main tune (like in an orchestra) and when...

Re: Two clips to compare

I hear what you are saying and can relate to it but we might sometimes have different opinions what we call in tune. Fore some its flow, for some timing, for some if certain things of the sound are not bearable so for them it cant be in tune. Sometimes perceived details make you thing its better in ...

Re: Two clips to compare

1 is with ground loop 2 is with ground loop lifted maybe maybe not because I cant make sense that those clips appear in the Lejonklou section … maybe a tuning option for the JBL 308? on 2 I think the instruments sound more natural on 1 I think the instruments sound exaggerated I have to say I was in...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

thats what I thought too and as it will only help if there is a real problem and than it would only help the first source to sound better its too many ifs. Thank you again for the cable its running in nicely - difficult to imagine any other cable would sound better

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

the adapters are out its now a cable which Tom soldered for me so if there is a ground loop from the DS I can only get rid of it in getting something done with the JBLs which I am ready to do but I will check without the DS first. I always thought if the Sagatun could have an option to switch of the...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

the faint hum is still there - but I can hear it only if I put my ear close to the bass driver. The noise of the HF unit is also still there and I can hear it at my listening position but I can live with that too. But thats all with the Akurate DS connected as only source (I am missing one power soc...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

yes I did and I didn’t enjoy it as much. My conclusion is now when the bass is not tamed enough it might be not the optimal position. I positioned them now more far away from each other and the bass problems are away and the slight harshness in the upper frequencies also. Moved from them from 1.45Me...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Jajo you say most bass problems come from non perfect positioning of speakers. What is your experience when you have a „seem to be perfect“ distance from the wall which is very musical but bass boomy. Is there another distance from the wall which is musical but without the bass boominess? Or does th...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Jajo might explain by himself but the way the 708 does it is more sophisticated and probably has less influence on the outcome than with the 308.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

dont worry about how to change it because it sounds worst. the +4dB setting is for higher output sources and lowers the input sensitivity so just switching it makes your loudspeakers less loud (everything else being equal). so you have to turn up the volume to compensate for the change. you can do i...

Jajo have you just been lucky with the distance between the two loudspeakers matching the space you have or is the distance a compromise or not as important as the distance to the wall? Did you had to change the p...
