      Your opinion. Which is better? 305 or 306? I have a small, unprepared room of 9m2. 305 and 306 have a minimal price difference. I'm at a loss which one to take. Is it true that in order to open up the 306, you need to add significantly more volume than the 305?

      @@greyaathmamusic The issue with the volume issue you have is not with the monitors, it is with your computer. If the signal coming out of your computer is poor/low, say only 44.1khz 16bit, you wont get the full potential out of the JBL monitors. If you upgraded your pc with a higher end sound card, with a full band width full duplex signal, then you would hear a definite difference in the volume from your JBL's. Hardware is your issue, not the speakers. It will vary from pc to pc, all depends on the capabilities of the soundcard or interface the speakers are getting signal from. In otherwords, your speakers are working as intended. If possible, upgrade your pc systems soundcard if you want to fix the issue, or, get a decent quality interface to pull your signal from instead.

    305 highs/treble is crap dude. it's so freaking distorted how do none of you hear that lmao. always like 30 likes for the top comment saying 305 is best, for damn near every video. but those high frequencies with distortions are unfortunately probably the only way to get those highs from speakers anywhere near this price range. seeing the adam T series videos, those really don't sound much better since the bass is like completely missing. some songs you don't want much bass but for the songs you do, you''ll regret it. I guess its the same with the 305s, compromises must always be made, either that or get multiple monitors. also adam makes expensive gear, for them to make an lsr/krk/yamaha competitor is just dumb, since it sounds like they purposely made the T line sound worse than their A line. it doesn't sound like the "next big budget speaker" it just feels like motivation to upgrade.
