JBL 308P MKII 8" Powered Studio Monitor (Each)

The JBL 308P MKII are just what I needed for my new Amp modeler in my home studio, without the steep price of some FRFR speakers out there. I already have a pair of JBL 5" monitors for the computer. Great quality, XLR and TRS inputs, great quality "notched" power/volume knobs. A great buy overall.

Read a bad review stating that they're not loud enough. That to me is a joke, they crank! They're not powered PA Speakers, they're monitor speakers for mixing. Anyone having trouble with getting volume out of them is probably hooking directly up to them with something that doesn't have a preamp. I run them off the control room output on my mixer which is a pre-amp and they have no problem putting out sound. I've had them for two years and they've held up well, but I'm not running them at clip either and if the lows seem a little much from my synths during a jam and I want more volume, I switch to my PA. For the money, in this price range, they're a great value and I have no regrets buying them. They do what I intended them to do, which is monitor mixes when recording and minimize the amount of time I have to spend wearing headphones at all.

The speakers sound vey clear.I love the sound of them.

Grabbed these for my home production and I can't be any more happy.. great bass and Highs,The look is awesome and looks good wherever.. I have the Yamahas 8's along with the Jbl 5s at studio.. I had the 5s at home for my production but it wasn't cutting it cause I needed more bass.. these are amazing and for price is a great deal.. don't pass up on these cause there jbl's.. i hd a choice between the adams and Yamahas 6's or 7's and I chose the jbl's.. these are not like the older Jbl's .. I appreciate them updating and remodeling there speakers.. unlike allot of company's who have had the same design for 10 plus years just a different box..

Going from standard, good quality PC speakers to these isn't really a fair comparison. I bought some nice stands and set them up just like the instructions say to and the sound is really mesmerizing. I'l sit for hours and just play acoustic pieces with some nice delay/reverb/chorus with a good IR and sitting at the perfect reference point just puts me into a trance almost. These monitors are definitely hefty and you have to use solid stands, but they are definitely worth the money I paid, which wasn't very much since they were on sale for almost half off. The clarity is just amazing for my first pair of monitors, and I'm guessing there are better ones but I actually just now started recording at home again after about 25 years lol. I didn't want to spend too much right out of the gate either and my recording is going very well. I'm really happy with these monitors!

Surprised by how good these sound for the price -impressed so far.
