Little 5" speakers have no right producing this amount of lower bass. There's usable extension to the mid 30s. That's probably what's going to be the salient characteristic people will notice about these speakers at first. As one gets settled in to listening it becomes more apparent that clarity and precision is really what these are about. Keep in mind my experience with other speakers is fairly limited. I'm a long time Magnepan fan, had Newform ribbons for a decade, and was made to question the wisdom in my previous purchasing decisions by trying LSR305s on a lark. In relation to those, these are quite a bit more refined and more sturdily built.
I hate myself for asking this question because it's so semi-stupid, but:
Would you say the 705p is more suited for music or video/cinema?
Reasons I ask is a) JBL's marketing of the 7-series for broadcast monitoring and b) the popularity of the 70xi series with the home theater crowd.
I don't ever recall reading on GearSlutz or similar about people using the 7-series to monitor / master music.
