- Heavy duty speakers for recording studio or home theater. Great sound.
- Perfect set of small monitors. Very detailed sound.
- They also look good though they are a little big for my space, I'll live with that however.

- These JBL LSR308 studio monitors lacked in the super-high frequencies area
- These studio monitors are not as tight, punchy, clean, crisp, responsive as they Event 20/20BAS studio monitors because they don't have as much power

What customers say about "Features"
JBL LSR-308 Studio Monitors with Cables Bundle
- Volume can get very loud and quiet. Great quality woofer and tweeter. HUGE fan of JBL speakers. XLR and 1/4 connection.
- I"ve always been a JBL fan and these baby"s are as always,well built, great looking and sound awesome
- The greatly reduced weight from previous models may have seemed like a "feature", but the light weight also says cheap, and acts unstable.
- The only drawback I realized after purchase,(obvious, but I didn't consider...) is there is no speaker protection whatsoever, so they need a safe location where they wont get bumped.
