Congrats firebird!   How big is your control room?  I read a review that touted the 305's as clearer and easier to mix on, than the 308's. (will try to find it and post it)
I am thinking of the 308's as a nice pair to go with my Equator D5's.
 
I also, saw the LSR305 pair, later yesterday, for $300, but I'd still prefer the 8". I liked my Mackie HR824's and had thought I would get a set of the LSR2328p's, when I saw that they update them with M2 technology horn waveguide. It seems like gear gets better all the time!

I have a home studio.  The area I'm in is about 10 X 20 ft.  I have the speakers mounted on a raised platform (and Auralex "Mo pads") on each end of my computer console desk, which is about 4 ft wide.
 
I considered the LSR305's but went for the larger 8" speakers, just for the reason I was having problems with bass when mixing.

I'm thinking I will go with the 308's, since I expect to have a bigger room at some point! LOL
 
MoPads for me, too.

The price of the LSR308's have had a price reduction (everywhere).  As I'm still within the 30 day return window, I contacted my Sweetwater sales rep about a refund.  I reminded him I didn't have a problem with returning the speakers.  Bingo, he is going to issue a refund for the difference ($100 for the pair). 

Merry Christmas! to you ......even it's a little early!

The refund showed up on my credit card account today. 

Interesting to hear there is buzz about the JBLs.  Presently I'm saving up for KRKs.  I may do some additional research now on the JBLs, but I'm motivated to finally get some monitors to sing home about.  I've been thinking KRKs will be my last major addition to my studio set up.

For me the JBL LSR2328p's reviews, started my interest in this revamped version. I read an article where Frank Fillipetti raved about the horn from the M2 series, which is why JBL dropped the 2328p, quickly and added that wave guide technology to 2328, creating the 308. They seem a great bargain.
I still intend to upgrade my Equator D5's to D8's and get a set of the LSR308's (I'll be very happy to put the D5's by the keyboards or anywhere! ). I am interested to hear the PreSonus CoActual 8's , too.
 
Merry Christmas to all!

I was initially looking at the KRK's, but just about every review of the new model KRK's that I found were either negative or leaning to negative. 

My local shop has the KRK, so I hope to compare them with the LSR308 and PreSonus CoActuals when they all show up...... which supposedly is going to happen! LOL
