JBL Studio 590

Well I just bought the JBL Studio 590 after multiple YouTube and forum searches talking about how they’re so great for the money.. I’m sure that most people here will "nose up" at them because of their price at $499 each but if they’re in line with my JBL Studio 530’s, these should be awesome.

Put it this way, I sold my KEF LS50’s because the JBL Studio 530s ran all over them in my experience.
I didn't want it to happen because I'm an invested KEF guy..  We'll see how these do against my KEF R900's with Isoacoustic Gaia II feet.

Well then.  I wasn't expecting that at all, more because you never kept them.  Anyhooo, the reason i asked is because I've read plenty of horror stories about their delivery.   I ordered a pair last week (Monday) and was promised delivery by the very following Friday.  I expected some hiccups.  The delivery hairball started to grow.  Today, I called the "freight company".  The hairball is getting bigger.  But like I said, I expected it.  Just wanted to see how your experience went.

Riaa:  It's the "showing up" part that scares me.  they have a 4 hr. delivery window that's pretty much unpredictable.  when i called them yesterday, i told them i'd rather pick them up from their warehouse even if its a 45 minute drive each way.  at least i know i'll have them. we shall see.

So I've had them for about 3 weeks now, I think.  They truly are spectacular speakers.  I'm not going to miss my Genesis APM-1s.  Actually, I can't wait to get rid of them.
