Found the best speakers: JBL LSR 305

[voodoo]

Hi,

after trying some other speakers, including the Yamaha HS5, I found that the JBL LSR 305 are the best speakers around, and they cost only 119€/piece. An additional subwoofer is possible, but not needed. See attached the nice setup.

Nice and really good value!   How do you find the low frequency response?  I'm using the Yamaha HS7 as I prefer not to use a sub.

Hi Simon,

I find the low frequency response very good. I think as good as on the HS7 (which I could compare one to one at the Thomann audio studio). So the sub is not needed.

Can I have a similar setup for the 770??

I'm sure that the JBL LSR305 speakers are very good for the price (105€ at Thomann - black version).

However, I decided to challenge a bit the claim that they are "the best" (Please don't take this too seriously  ). See for instance the following review:

https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/1065232-yamaha-msp5-studio.html

This is what was said there:
"If you are looking to upgrade from entry-level monitors like the JBL LSR305, Yamaha HS5, PreSonus Eris 5 or KRK Rokit 5s, I advise you to take a hard look at the Yamaha MSP5s. These are a step up to true pro-quality studio monitors at an affordable [299€ at Thomann] price."

Placing the JBL LSR305s against the wall in a recess will boost the bass frequencies considerably: I suspect that some EQ would improve the sound, see the other post I wrote

I use Bi-amplified (with slope adjustments) Genelec 8020C's on K&M stands with the Isopods.
Unbelievable power and clarity. Solid metal cabs: Trust me, no sub needed.
I might change to 8030's in a while.
Neg points: Expensive.

* Now upgraded to Genelec 8030C's * Absolutely awesome. Power and clarity.

In order to prepare for the Genos, I bought a pair of Genelec M040s for my home studio.
I listened in the shop to this song.... and that's all i needed to hear.

When I got home I listened to it again.....  Closed my eyes and i thought I was in the room at the Mandalay Bay
where it was performed....  and when I got to 04:36 in the song... I cried.....
an extraterrestrial experience for me....

These two tear my guts out. Andrea often does all by himself.

These two versions aren't too shabby, even though neither one is quite up to Katherine and Andrea (IMHO)
