Sweetwater will sell them new for about 1720 each + tax. I doubt you'll do much better. Maybe Amirm can give a deal? The b-stock deals haven't come up in a long time, sadly. Email this guy: [email protected]Hi
The more I read on this forum and others, the more i am leaning toward the 708p as my next upgrade for mains speakers. Coupled with a pair of SVS or Ryhtmik in my small concrete room ( 5 x 3.4 x 2.5 meters)... I could be in audio paradise by just replacing the current JBL 308 L, R speakers with the 708p, Move those 308 to surround duties presently handled by the JBL 305 , leave the 308 as center channel, move the 2 remaining 305 to Atmos duties. Add a pair of trio of SVS or Ryhtmik at circa k $2000 total and I am in audio heaven for less than $5K...
Could be my own Christmas gift to me.
Any pointer for B-stock JBL 708p? or even used ones?
You need room correction if you don't have it already. I recommend minidsp SHD Studio or similar. I would go for two medium, ported subs, like two PB 2000s or 3000s. If that's not loud enough, you can always get two more later, but that's loud enough for the 708p. I made the mistake of getting one PB16, and it alone is too loud and too big, without the advantages of two sub locations. To match the 708p, I run it as something like -17db.
