No concerns with reliability on the 708p? https://gearspace.com/board/high-end/1251953-jbl-708p-4-6-monitors-have-failed-since-purchase.html and https://gearspace.com/board/post-production-forum/1377193-jbl-708p-have-been-out-stock-ages.html etc. To be fair, it seems most of the ones failing...

Good point on the comparison and finding the distributor - perhaps I should not discount the Ultra X20s so soon, they are astonishingly small. I guess the USW-112P would be the natural pairing for them? Clientele is, uh.. me and how ever many friends happen to be around! Unlikely to go over 20...

Thanks everyone - Don't worry, thinking about it more I have gone off the Phantoms - on top of the other limitations y'all mentioned, the optical cables and coax-to-optical converters to run them would be annoying as hell, seems like a recipe for disaster. Limiting the search space to proper...

Thanks, I will consider those! Am I right in thinking that if my spl requirements are within what a monitor like that can do, the sound output would be noticeably better than a similarly sized PA speaker? Especially in terms of stereo imaging etc which is likely not a priority in the design of...

Anything under the ~10K US mark would be fine, maybe above if there’s something exceptional (though most options I’ve seen above that would be too bulky for a portable system)

Hmm, clean sound at low SPL would be something I'd really like to have as well - seeing as I am a crazy person, I'd probably sit down and listen to some Steely Dan on it before the party gets started... This is where I'm guessing studio monitors would do far better, as long as they can keep up...

I'm happy to pick small, loud, and good sound - and give up on the cheap part :oops:

Oh, that looks nice - If I compare the JBL 708p to the Yamaha DZR10, it's smaller and lighter (17.25 x 9.75 x 11.5 in, 25.2lbs vs 21.1 x 12.4 x 13.6 39.5lbs), with a wider frequency range and I imagine better sound. The tradeoff is sound output, they specify 108 dB SPL at 1m. vs 137dB on the...

Ok, let me loosen that a bit - it's probably more like 95db that I need, and thats within 2m or so of the speakers, I don't need to get the whole room to that sort of level. My home system with the Blade Twos is easily enough sound output

Hello! I'm looking for a system I can easily transport and set up for parties, weekends away etc. At home I have the Blade Twos, which are awesome, but not exactly portable! The aim is to find something that can deliver a clean HiFi sound with minimal distortion and plenty of bass, while being...

So you're saying that AHB2s in bridge mode wouldn't work well, but a NAD M33 would? Can you elaborate on why? Benchmark did talk about using the AHB2 with the Blade Twos here: https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1381707

Hi - I'm using a single AHB2 with the mid-gain setting to drive a pair of KEF Blade Twos, with a MiniDSP SHD's balanced output as the source. It's been working well but things have been getting... louder... recently and with the SHD volume turned up above around -6 DB the clip light on the...

I haven't seen that behaviour on my SHD (purchased in past month so it should be NEO3), so yeah it seems like something related to the repair. Only real glitch I've had is that on occasion the screen stays on forever despite the auto-off setting. Sorry to hear about how MiniDSP handled your...
