JBL 705P / 708P

Where did you order them from?
GAK from Brighton, England LoL
A socket adapter is not the most expensive add-on, though. Still, it confirms that Harman/Samsung/JBL is in a somewhat messy state at the moment.
No clue , can’t plug them in
They look sweet and are hefty for their size , Iv got them on isoacoustic stands that seem rubbish to me. I always thought you want a solid base for speakers but these stands wave about like a skyscraper in a hurricane and with the longer poles in are unusable.
Yes you can delay them individually, they have a few useful looking options on-board. I will put a sub with them if there’s one that pairs with them from JBL and has DSP automatic set up etc else I won’t bother as setting subs up manually is beyond me, they never sound right.
Dynaudio has subs that perfectly match their monitors with dsp so hopefully JBL will.
Then there’s the intonato thing that is ment to go with the seven series BUT can’t be connected to the speakers without some hack cable.., very strange to me. Maybe it’s ment to plug into another box before the speakers but I can’t see or find what and there’s nothing inthe manual I can find to explain why it has D-sub sockets but no corresponding socket on the speakers it’s ment to go with.

Thomas that does all sound pathetic of JBL.
Now the Intonato is 24 channels. Lots of pro gear with that many channels uses D sub connection. So that really is no hack. That isn't unusual. D subs are available with a variety of connections.

Surprised the dealer didn't catch the plug issue...
I’m not lol
Beats having 48 xlr sockets on the back I guess
Seemed strange but looking at it it’s actually quite good, each D-sub on the intonato gives you 8 channels and they are setup as a input and out put pair , input A and output A etc .
What do they sound like ?

Well the D sub to trs sounds pointed and masculine. Dsub to xlr sounds feminine and inviting. Both can make beautiful music.
You guys have to pay a little extra and suffer a bit of pain for always doing things the wrong way.

Oh noooooo... After all these months waiting, ordering, canceling, ordering again you still can't listen to them! Shame on JBL and your dealer!Got my 705p’s .., seems JBL are not aware of the fact the uk uses different sockets to the EU and the US

That's an understatement!
Maybe the dealer is gray market importer. Thomas are they shown as authorized dealer on JBL site?

So you have Thomas' power cords. Now we know.
IIRC the UK uses a different plug than the EU (and different than what we use in the USA, natch). What do you expect from folk who never learned to drive on the right side of the road?
Just cut the dang plug off and stick the wires in the outlet.
What's the problem?
