Re: Two clips to compare

If I may elaborate: What I'm hearing is that on clip (1) each note hits right on the mark, the band is super tight and the performance really flows along effortlessly when compared to clip (2). On clip (2) the performance sounds more Hi-Fi and less in tune, and I'm strictly going by the tune here, ...

Re: Like button

I am also against the Like button. What I like (no pun intended) with this forum is that is so friendly and people always thank you when you spend that extra time to share knowledge and impressions. It is worth so much more than just hitting the Like-button in my opinion. Keep it focused on written ...

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 t...

They do look different. 308P looks/feels cheaper but less "boxy" and "PRO". I like them both but prefer the CF driver and bass driver of 708P. And the weight.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

A little while back there was a question or two about the passive version that needs an external electronic crossover and amps.

I haven't. I adjusted the gain to -4.5dB because of the corner.

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...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

708P are closer to the sonic characteristics of 308P than 3677. 708P will not give you the same sound quantity as 3677. However 708P is much better musically and in my opinion it has a much more comfortable full sound with deeper bass (but much less midbass "slam"). Have you abandoned the idea that...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

I would completely trust jajo's assessment regarding the qualities of 308Ps and 708Ps. From his impressions the 708Ps appear to be other animals than the 308Ps. I do not think that one has to own first 308Ps before upgrading to 708Ps. OK, the 708Ps are much more expensive but even less than a pair ...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Speakers are the least important part of the music system which probably makes it pretty difficult to construct them. I have no experience from this, but it is just my gut instinct.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

A word of caution regarding speakers. They are the most "dangerous" part of the Hifi system because they change the tonal character the most.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Needs to be tested. JBL recommends using their DSP amplifiers with a digital filter that they built. The curves can be found on the internet, but they can only be used with a configurable filter (most likely there are no analogue filters that can do the trick). My experience with digital crossovers...
