I read most of this thread. What I missed are information how to connect those speakers best to a music source. And what happens with the music signal inside the speakers. I am new to this and this forum so maybe this is obvious to everybody else.
1. The speaker has digital and analoge inputs. And it has, according to the website: "Integrated dual amplification system with internal floating-point DSP" and "Comprehensive room EQ and delay controls"
So what happens if the analoge or digital inputs are selected?
I guess with the analoge input the signal will be converted to digital, processed, and then converted to analoge and output on the drivers.
And I guess with the digital input the first AD conversion is skipped and the rest is the same? Correct?
2. What are the easiest and best ways to use these speakers at home in a stereo setup or in a home theater?
Let's say the source is a PC.
I guess it does not make sense to convert the digital output of the PC in an (expensive) DAC to analoge and input that into the speaker because then it gets (I guess) in the speaker converted to digital again.
So how should it be connected? Connect the PC USB to AES3 converter and connect that to the speakers? Or some fancy device in between?
A setup like mentioned here?

3. What is the recommended way to setup the "Comprehensive room EQ"? Is there any recommended microphone and test setup (kit) - maybe from JBL?
4. How about subwoofers? Are they always recommended with the 708P or only i.e. with a home theater setup? Is there any specific subwoofer from JBL which is made to best integrate with these speakers?
As you clearly see I don't know what happens. Please correct me where I guess wrong and I would like to learn how to "use" these speakers.
