i want the jbls. they seem to have more bass than the mackies.

If bass is important, it would be worth waiting/saving for the larger LSR308s. Big difference in potential bass capability for filling a room between a 5" driver and an 8" driver.

Or, get the LSR305 and save for a sub. Subs are the best way to get killer bass

its not that big of a deal. i figure it out. all boils down to wether i wanna spend $300 vs $500 heh. at least i got the audiobox outta the way.

JBL has measurements posted in their product information on their Amazon page with their speaker in the top left.

Can you read what it says? I can't make it out :/ I've looked for a better pic.

The roll off starts around 60hz. I just count the lines from 100hz.

I found one a little better it looks like it is about a -8dB drop.

Making it to around 60hz before it starts to roll off seems pretty good to me for a 5 1/4" driver.

anybody hear anything about the Behringer Truth B2031As? they have dropped in price to $199 each. 8 inch drivers too. very interesting.

EDIT: then i look on sweetwater and they have the 8 inch jbls, buy one get one half off until feb 28th. i wouldnt be able to resist that deal.

Please don't consider behringer. They are garbage.

If you like the JBL's more get them especially since they're on sale, sub's aren't always necessary with near field's; my Mackies pack a punch with 5's. Do you have the desk space for 8's? They will sound terrible if they are to close together and ESPECIALLY if they're to close to a wall (8 inches minimum from the wall behind)

Your local Craiglist is your best bet. People sell used desks for much cheaper than you can buy them new, often because they just want to get them out of their house because of other new furniture.
