But the tweeters on JBL is compression driver instead of silk dome..correct?
Correct the dome was in reference to the cheaper 305 which is what I have.
Thanks! Would 705 P enough for listening distance between 3,5 - 4 meters? The front LR speakers will be 4 - 5 meters apart. my living room is 35m2 and the hearing area is approximately 20 m2 with one end open to dining area and the other end with big glass door.
I would think so, but it depends on several things, first and foremost being what levels you like to listen to.
The 705P's are rated to 101dB continuous (107dB peak) @ 1m - however, I'm fairly certain that's anechoic since they're specified as ">101dB@1m" so they would be louder in-room.
Calculated for 3,75m that would take you down to 90dB & 96dB(ish) peaks at MLP (
-6dB@2m/-12dB@4m). However, you'd have 3 of them (you're planning LCR the same right?)
and some reinforcement from the room... which I won't even attempt to calculate. So I'm pretty sure you wouldn't feel they were
too underpowered (but subjective is what it is -
you might). If you didn't already have 2 competent subs I'd worry a little, but if the monitors are just handling 80Hz-20kHz - then they are right in the band those specs are taken at. I know that would be plenty for me... but you might have different listening habits. However, much more output than that (
for more than a few minutes at least) and you'll be doing damage.
