    JBL LSR308 8" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor (old model)

    • You can spend a lot more and get objectively better performance in studio monitors, but if you can't make a decent mix with these, the monitors aren't the problem
    • You want the mix to sound good on your studio monitors, stereo speakers, iPod earbuds, bluetooth speakers, vehicles and pretty much anywhere with some consistency
    • So the end result is that yes, your mixes will sound great on the JBL, but not translate well to other sources
    • I keep comparing these near fields favorably to my long-gone Yamaha NS10s; punchy, open, easy to get a good mix without a lot of fuss
    • I would not have trusted any mix I made on these until I had at least 20-30hrs of listening time on them.2
