No surprise here as JBL has been making high quality speakers for decades! I like and own some of their vintage gear (L56, L166 and 4312). And for a while had a pair of 640's. I thought Pink Floyd's DSOTM never sounded better played back over the 640's!

I’ve had mine for over two years and I am very happy with them. Superb sound value. True, the vinyl wrap is a bit on the dull side, and who wants plastic footers? But still, you get cast frame LF drivers, a smooth-sounding horn-loaded compression driver for the top end and very well thought-out 2 1/2-way crossover. |
Yep audio deal of the century when JBL blows them out on sale at $900 a pair. Every 3-6 months they are on sale straight from JBL. They have a 30 or 60 day free home trial too. The 590 are huge though but I like big speakers. When my non audiophile friends ask for speakers I pretty much default to this jbl line. The 530,580,590 are all great and really make you question spending more money. I think they are better than B&W’s 700 series for example. Much flatter and more dynamic. I would love to hear a pair with better quality crossover parts. Not on sale now but last month they were $450 each! https://www.jbl.com/loudspeakers/STUDIO+590.html |
