Bonus features are they have a headphone out and an aux in on the front of the left powered speaker (The right speaker is passive and runs off the left powered speaker)
Also the on/off volume control is on the front of the powered speaker.
It means everything you need is accessible on the front of the speaker, which is really handy when you haven’t got a lot of space to work in.
For what it's worth, I found that the stands, isolation pads and acoustic foam did far more to improve the sound than anything else I've tried (including the upgrade to the Tannoys from the Denon-branded Mission hi-fi speakers I was using before).
Very important not to have cones bigger than the room.
I'm still keen on the JBL LSR305p but I find myself looking at the Mackie CR5s too. The bonus with these is that they have a built in bluetooth, which means that whilst I can plug the helix in, I can additionally run Bluetooth through them so if using backing tracks for practice, I should be able to use both.
What I'm coming back to everyone on here for is to ask the question if there is a a fairly simple mixer a couple of inputs and/or bluetooth connectivity? At worst, if without bluetooth, at least I could buy a separate bluetooth receiver to plug into an external 2 ch mixer just to control any other wireless input.
They're basically a budget option. They don't sound that great but they are cheap.
My biggest advice would be to get smaller woofers.
If the JBLs are going to be too loud for the space, then I'll probably go back to the original plan of a set of Mackie CR5s. They might be a similar sized speaker, but theyre only half the power at 50w combined. It'll solve any issue of trying to get a bluetooth input as they come with them.
If the JBLs are purchased, should I just buy a simple 2 ch mixer like the Focusrite 2i2 and run one channel from guitar and the other from Bluetooth?
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
