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...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
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. Although I'm sure it would be very cool if Fredrik came out with an electronic crossover for it I wouldn't hold my breath. The complexity of building an electronic crossov...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
I saw that 2800 per piece that was the original listprice. I paid 2000 eur per piece. 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
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 meanwhil...

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. It requires following a very strict method to ensure that the development is about actually improving the musicality a...

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. This can surely be fun, but also very confusing and steal valuable time from listening to music. In my experience, changing speakers frequently makes me more ...

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...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P
Have you heard the 705P Jajo? I read Floyd Toole's account of a demonstration of the M2, 708P and 705P. Supposedly the audience thought they were listening to the M2. They asked when they could hear the smaller boxes. They were already listening to the 705P :) Using M2 with Tundra Mono and an analo...
