708P

It depends on the ERA and the model. The current JBL M2 is undeniably excellent. Some of us love our Circa 1980s white woofers. I now use JBL 708p monitors and could afford most anything.

I had some Shape 65's for years and they were great to mix on, definitely needed a sub though. Upgraded to JBL 708p's.

Will they move to another room, go into storage or out to resell? I'm reasonably happy with my JBL 708P - but they require a sub.

Are we putting the cart before the horse? Modern controlled directivity designs might not have much trouble with that ledge.

Then I heard the M2 at the AES convention a decade ago. It was (and remains) the single best sounding loudspeaker I have ever heard. I ended up buying thre

I use mine for hifi listening too, thought JBL pro audio would have insane value for that. The 705P is great, surprised to hear the 708P has the typical 2 way muddy mids when run fullrange. I haven't used mine much as there are other better hifi at home. Guess I should use them with subs before deci
