I ordered these with the TEAC UD-501 DAC, which offers balanced XLR speaker jacks. I initially made the mistake of ordering the SMSL Q5 amp/DAC, which does not offer XLR outputs. I had believed that I could just buy an adapter to hook the speakers to the SMSL, but that was incorrect. So make sure your DAC is compatible with these POWERED speakers. Anyway, since I received the TEAC DAC, these speakers have been awesome. They sound so good, angled at me from either side of my Mac monitor, it sounds like surround sound with speakers pointed at me from all angles. I have the TEAC DAC connected to my Mac with an optical cable, so that the DAC converts the internet signal at 44.1kHz. I understand that there are higher quality audio feeds out there, but I haven't been able to figure that out yet. I highly recommend these speakers, and I'm very pleased with this purchase.

How are these compared to the KRK Rokit 5s? Thinking of either selling the KRKs or giving them to a family member and replacing the LSR808s with them. I use them in a small room but sometimes take them out and use them in larger rooms. Currently pairing the KRKs with the Dayton Audio SUB-1200, both are hooked up the the Micca OriGen+ throught a 3.5mm splitter. The KRKs are a bit too bassy when playing music at high volumes. The bass kinda takes over and sounds very blown out on the KRKs when playing music loud. Would this happen with the 808s? I know I probably wouldn't have to play them as loud as I do with the KRKs. Also the price on Amazon is only $20 more and you can get them with one-day shipping..

PSquareI shopped around a couple months ago and these were on my top 2. I didn't get this specific model because of other factors, but I definitely recommend them. The 8" instead of the 5" is worth it, unless space is an issue. That fuller low end vs. the LSR305s is nice.

These speakers are absolutely amazing but definitely need to be paired with a quality dac to come alive. I had them hooked up to my computer via a TRS to 3.5mm cable and the sound quality was decent but nothing amazing. I picked up the DacDestroyer DAC by HotAudio and these speakers blew me away. After that I upgraded the DAC to the more powerful BitPerfect DAC by HotAudio, picked up the JBL LSR310S subwoofer and a TC Electronic Pilot volume knob and I'm 100% satisfied with the sound quality for a desk setup.

xbe302Definitely need to be paired with a Sub Woofer, then watch the house ROCK when turned up.
These speakers are Excellent for any Party because it can successfully deafen all your neigbours down the street and the next suburb, if played at full volume : )

The JBL LSR 305 and 308 are both great speakers. If using for home theater and you enjoy the typical blockbuster movie with exploding planets and earth-shaking dinasaur stomps then a subwoofer (or a pair to smooth bass peaks and nulls) is strongly recommended for any speaker system. This applies even to those with big tower speakers.
The next step up from the 305/308 is the JBL 705/708, and above that is the JBL flagship, the M2 , which cost $20,000 a pair.

I've been using the 305s with the 310s sub as studio monitors and was pretty happy. However, I had some 'kick' envy when listening to my friends M-Audio BX8 so I decided to try the 308's. It was disappointing due to the fact that the 310s sub does not have an adjustable crossover, 80Hz or nothing... dang. If I could drop it to 50hz-60Hz I think it would be a better match. I use a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 DAC which sounds excellent by the way, but only 2 balanced outputs, otherwise I would hook up both speakers and the sub to the DAC.
