Re: JBL 308P and 708P

For the same reason I use 708P and I doubt that I would be much happier with a fully loaded 4675C system in my normal sized living room. The thing I miss from 3677/TM is the physical feeling of someone playing an instrument. The 308’s just don’t give me that at all. Would you say that 708 will brin...

Fantastic to get this degree of upgrade in my fifties.

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

actually I couldn’t really make my mind up since I am not ready to move my big speakers away before I have proper stands - I am searching for the Kan Stands but it can take a while until they come up used here in Germany. Till than the 308 are packed away. and for me this hiss is annoying - everythi...

Re: Hermanns System

The interesting part of it is that all 3 people who heard #003 described more or less the same impressions. Is it possible that this one behaves differently to other Källas? I have no answer to that question but I was wondering about that too as the impression from 3 different people all describe t...

Re: Hermanns System

thank you Hermann - I certainly didnt expected that #3 was the NDS. What you describe as strong points of Källa I certainly would subscribe too also. But I also agree on the other points - all of them. I like your comparison to Entity and Sagatun and I even have to mention the Tundra - all show a sy...

Re: Hermanns System

I think the first clip is still a little louder. And it has a presence/authority/confidence that the other two clips dont have. The second clip has still more of that than the third clip. Only looking at musical flow the third clip is for me the clip which has the most structure … 3rd clip is Källa ...

you should go the Boazu route and tell me who is selling the Tundra Monos ;) … it depends what money you have available and what kind of system you would like to build. If you have no Lejonklou product right now and look at buying the Källa down the road you probably get indeed the best from Boazu a...

Re: Analogue man tries to master Spotify

Ha I had the same problem with spotify- whenever I hit play it started a random song from the album. So the solution was to search for an album it than shows the title list - hit the first song and they are starting in the right order. Than you have the choice to use random play or continuous play f...

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

Have you ever heard Kali LP 8 or Kali LP 6 Jajo? I'm interested in them purely they're a breakaway from JBL and seem to be going after the same market as the JBL 3 series. Unfortunately no. I'll trial the Kali second wave soon via Amazon sale or return (free). For those who can't obtain a set of JB...

Re: Hermanns System

Hi Hermann, you never see Källa in Foobar or VLC what you see is your NAS and here minimserver. But that doesnt help you as long as you try to stream from a different device as Apple. Only Apple devices see Källa through Airplay. Only Apple sees Källa as Airplay „Loudspeakers“ to stream to. But good...

Re: Recommended network components

I have played with switching of unused ports in the 108T and also changing the cable length adjustment because it only has to drive 2,5m cables and not 10 or 100m my thought was the higher the current/power to drive longer lengths the higher the side effects or reflections from the other end of the ...

Re: Choose one Lejonklou product.

I dont think there is much run in but I got it after a review but I doubt the reviewer left it running 24/7. I heard a slight change in the beginning for sounding more open but not the usual up and down and I had it running for about 200hours (not only switched on but running music through it. …was ...

Re: Choose one Lejonklou product.

for me the one product which I would not give away is Tundra (hands down)

Re: JBL 308P and 708P

are there already some general positioning conclusions for the JBL308

it seems:
hight above ground should be around 60-63cm which might depend on ceiling hight
what about distance to the back wall - round about 10cm-15cm?
what about distance between loudspeakers?

which is the right setting? I assume the -10db setting (which is actually louder) which I think is confusing vs. the +4db setting

That „switched them off“ is something you learn when you come from a Class A amp and live in Germany where Greta managed to convince our politicians that the people are fine to pay 0.35Euro per kWh
