Thanks, JLM -- much appreciated. Thanks also for answering some of my specific questions via PM.Question for everyone/anyone: not to hijack, but does anyone know if there are any substantial differences between the 705P ($999/ea) and the 708P ($1999/ea) other than the cabinet/woofer size and ultimate SPLs? I assume the amps are the same as is all the DSP technology, etc. If I have a subwoofer that I like, I am wondering if a 705P + sub configuration would give much/anything up versus a 708P standalone configuration.Thanks, -dGB
Great stuff and write up. Regarding the forward nature of the sound, I found the same thing with the SP Tech Minis which used a fair sized wave guide, as well as with a pair of Geddes Nathans, although to a lesser degree, if memory serves me correctly. At this point I am inclined to believe that wave guide speakers will come off as more direct and forward than non wavers. It must be how it propagates the sound waves into a forward sound beam. I was wondering where in the world you find a used pair, but aha, from another audio fool junkie on this audio caste away ship. Rocket Ronny
dGB - Have you read through this thread? https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/jbl-705p-708p.1303/
James did not start ALL Techncal (Altec), he was actually bought out by ALL Technical in 1941. He also agreed not to do any audio business for a period of 5 years after the sale. It was after the sale that All Technical changed (shortened) its name to Altec Lansing (keeping the Lansing name for industry recognition).The 708P is intended to be powered by a preamp or console.
Do you hook up an analog preamp output or digital output directly to each speaker - one channel to each speaker? Do the speakers have to be connected to each other too for any reason?
