JBL LSR305 Studio Monitor: Opinions?

Hi Bob:
Thanks for the suggestion RE: Guitar Center, etc. I will do that asap.
I also appreciate the audiostream desktop speaker review link.

Ps

Yes, the LSR series is GREAT. No comparison to the A2+ though. If you have the room, go for the LSR's!!!

I use the LSR308s (305s bigger brother) in a secondary system. They are really excellent, and make me easily forget my main system due to their musicality, bass extension, soundstage, midrange, etc. They sound much bigger than they actually are, and they do the disappearing and 3D thing to my very happy surprise. In fact, if you use them within their limitations, they will make you very happy as well.

I did find the need to to coat the interior back panel with a 70mil thick black FatMat sound deadener, along with the insides and the plastic tweeter waveguide (internally); well worth the effort and small cost, and it really made a nice difference for the better.

I do have room for larger desktop speakers and will eagerly research the LSR series.

The AE's are not bad small speakers. Imaging and detail is fine. However, my primary objection is that they sound rather "threadbare" to me, and I can't overlook that deficiency as I listen to them. I'm running Amarra SQ, and have tweaked the frequency response to fill the bass and lower midrange out a bit, and bring treble down a tad, in an attempt to make the AE's sound fuller.
