audio rabbit hole is the most expensive detour in the desk setup game, glad you made it out alive. jbl 305p mkii + ws 6.2 combo is a legit jump over most prosumer setups. the 305s have that slightly scooped mid that people either love or tolerate, but paired with a real sub it fills in the low end n

Which 5” monitors would you pick for a tiny room?

JBL 305P. It's a known good performer that's used by professionals in the industry. If the bass gets overwhelming in a small room you can always stuff the ports. Room gain will compensate for the reduced lows.

Second Pair of Monitors: Smaller with additional Subwoofer or 8"?

Ive used my jbl 305p (5 inch version) since 2009 as a professional (it was a different model name before). In my first job, i worked in an "alternate" studio room they had, and they gave me the 308, so things were pretty familiar. Over the years, i've upgraded to thousands of dollars worth of other

The Volume vs Bass Boxing Match

I really don't see what the matter was. In the first instance, I can hear the bass nice and fat chugging away with body and all (in my JBL 305's monitors for reference). More volume doesn't necessarily mean less bass. So many genres are loud af (see brostep, riddim, or any dubstep genres lol) that h

Any experience with purchasing from Rockville audio

If you can I would get the 308P, it's so much better and probably doesn't cost that much more. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/jbl-308p-mkii-studio-monitor-review.17338/ https://noaudiophile.com/JBL_LSR308/ B-stock from JBL is only $181 each. https://www.jbl.com/pro-b-stoc

Go play 3 or stanmore-acton 3?

Go+Play3 by far, way deeper bass and overall sound quality. It ranks #7 in the Boombox size rankings while the Stanmore is #30 Although if you don't plan to move it around or need a battery, the $300 JBL 305P MKII or $350 Kali LP-UNF bookshelf speakers will sound even better for about the same amoun

Help with speakers

I wouldn't go for anything cheaper. Personally, I would check the used market in your area. You can often find nicer speakers used for $150-$200. If you don't find anything of interest, there are some customer return JBL 305p at prostaraudio for $195 a pair. For $15 more than the DM-40, that would b

Sound speaker recommendation

if you need to just listen on your desktop, get a pair of jbl 305p mkii + a decent subwoofer and that'll be below the 1000 euro

Thinking of selling my Acton 3 and switching to studio monitors - will I regret it?

I don't own an Action 3, but have dealt with many other non neutral speakers and it's night and day better moving to studio monitors assuming you're doing mixing/recording or care about a neutral speaker with proper soundstage. The pinned post has also ranked every powered studio monitor brand you m

Studio Speakers

JBL 305P or 306P for solid low end or the KRK Rokit G4 if you want more bassy character and built in EQ, avoid the HS5 unless you plan to add a sub or bigger woofers and treat the room.
