Hey! The JBL LSR305 is on sale for $100/each at a bunch of places. That's $50 off regular price, and $100 off for a pair (<== For the mathematically challenged).
Looks like this is a Black Friday sale, but it could be that JBL will soon announce an update/replacement speaker coming out soon (what with NAMM not that far away). But even if there is an updated model coming out, this is a great deal.
One of many vendors offering this price:

But since I and the people I know bought them, the company has changed owners, engineering teams, and manufacturing locations. I don't know how the current line of Event monitors, especially the lower-priced ones, compare to what I have.

Especially over say 90dB (which we shouldn't be at anyway)…and seems like they're a little more room-dependent than some other monitors..in the right room, they seem good. Some older mixers I know, who've perhaps lost some of their own high-frequency response, seem to like them. :-)
