If I can throw in just a tidbit more here.... I looked over the specs of the JBL LSR 308's, they incorporate an 8" driver and their lower frequency response is quite respectable, reaching down to 37hz, similar to my larger speakers. Given that, I would assume there should not be too much of an issue with them handling the lower notes and also producing the results of too much bass as described. Something else is at issue here. Being I have a 1010LT I do know there are a few settings that can make things too boomy. One is to be sure all your output settings under the output tab (of the 1010LT control panel) in the small drop down windows below each pair of channels output source are set to 'sw return' and not set to 'mixer.' If you have 9-10 as an example set to 'mixer' and the mixer slider (under the mixer tab) is set too high, this will result in much too strong of a signal to your 9-10 pair. I only control audio output of the 1010LT on the output screen, I adjust the sliders so they centered around 5, and again set every channels output source to 'sw return.'
If that doesn't tame things down some then I'd start to wonder if this isn't more of a voicing issue? I do have a few sets where certain lower pedal notes are very boomy and have excessive bass if it is not adjusted out using the voicing controls accordingly, whereas a different set I load using the exact same amp and 1010LT settings produces no boom at all. Some sets just seem to produce this more than others. For me St. Max is the culprit and more difficult to tame whereas the Schulze is right out of the box, no tinkering with anything, and is as smooth as glass on the low notes. As far as your JBL LSR 308's go, because of their good frequency response, you should be able to easily send a mix-down of all to them along with the sub tied to them without issues.
If using the controls on your JBL's doesn't have enough effect to tame things, look at your 1010LT setting as I describe first, then I'd say try some voicing on the offending lower notes next, lower their amplitude and see if that helps.
