Active equivalent of the passive A130s that got posted yesterday.
You can get it slightly cheaper on ebay if you have ebay plus.

what is this edirols
These or krk rokit?
These are streets ahead of the consumer-grade KRKs (no yellow cone, though)
Had these for 8 years or so. Absolutely amazing, love the punch these pack. They are amazing especially for the price.
Very exceptional value choice before starting to pay significantly more.
For those that have these. Do you need a sub or do these have enough bass? Cheers
The Adam Audio T5V can be had for around $500 new. They blow these JBLs out of the water. I am yet to hear anything remotely close in quality for the price.
I have T7Vs and regret buying them because they hiss too much. Maybe some day I'll open them up and mod them with l-pad attenuators. They are already more than loud enough with the volume adjusted down to the point where the hiss no longer gets quieter. Maybe T5Vs are better.
there is decent bass. but if u listen to alot of bass heavy tracks i suggest adding an active sub
These are the best 5" monitors still available today. BUT! As others have said, If you're seeking an amazing, audiophile-like, listening experience, these really aren't it. These monitors have a clearer sound than any monitors I've ever used (quite the range, even some really high-end equipment). However, the LSR310S sub is a deliberate pairing by JBL with the 305P's, thus the lack of low-end and the sub can be fairly pricey. Even if you go with an alternative. Have never seen the LSR310S for less than $700AUD.
These serve as my secondary monitors to my Focal Alpha 8"s. Truly adore them nearly a decade later. Great for mixing.
For anyone who was almost tempted by these at $429 (like I was).
Ebay Plus users can buy them for $372.67 (delivered) here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/390722482841
I've read many threads on these which consistently report that they hiss and aren't great for casual use as a result.
No, this applies to all active speakers and monitors. There will always be hiss if you increase the volume enough.
No what? I've read that these specific speakers have a particularly annoying hiss which makes them unsuitable as daily drivers rather than for critical listening/actual studio use.
Buying studio monitors as daily drivers isn't too bright in the first place.
These are excellent monitors, but they are monitors, not your average loudspeaker like Edirols. (I have these and the 308s, about to sell one set, not sure which yet as I don't need both.)
