but recently came across the JBL LSR308’s at a close out price and became interested as the reviews were really good, the guy I sold my Pioneer Speakers to told me he had the 5’s an loved em, after I heard the sound of the 8’s I was sold, no they are

I think that most people who are giving these monitors bad reviews is because they don't know what they are buying

couldn't resist given the glowing reviews and thought I give nearfiled monitor a shot

I expected better based on the positive reviews.

I've been rebuilding the recording rig in my apartment, so I decided to try a pair of these JBLs after reading positive reviews about their quality, value, and bang for the buck

I will admit I am not the audiophile like some folks writing reviews on here, but I can say that after upgrading from a pair of entry-level Behringer Truth 1030a monitors, the noticeable different is night and day

After reading all the positive reviews and watching reviews about the great quality these speakers are I decided to take a gamble and make a purchase

These are amazing for studio monitors, especially when you get them on sale for about $200.WARNING: Dimensions are larger than that shown in one of the "top" reviews here, where the pictured and measured speaker was actually an LSR305 -- These are significantly bigger than the LSR305.

After all of the positive reviews I guess I expected better.

I liked the reviews I was reading and watching
