How do the 708s and 705s compare? Given I have a sub, I'm not too concerned with LF extension. And the 705s are half the price...
For nearfield music enjoyment (as opposed to mastering work) 708s for nearfield don’t IMO make sense. I would look to 705, KH80, or the equivalent Genelec.
I can't help but think the 700 series woofer is the same design family as the 300 series but just better, because most of the same issues are still present - just much reduced in level.
Not close. The 3-series drivers are good basic designs, whereas the 7-series woofers are probably the most outwardly boring looking of the elite level midwoofer s (compared to Purifi, ScanSpeak Illuminator, etc.).
Actually 705 and 708 even have very different woofer tech. The 5” woofer does not have the differential voice coils, but the 8 does.
