Anybody want to talk about the JBL studio 590?

how much did they cost? can they rock?

I bought mine as demos. They are 2k a pair new and yes they ROCK but they also do everything well....great Dynamics and I love the horns. No need for a sub as the bass is tight and fast. I use emotiva gear and for my total investment of 1700.00 for the whole system I am more than happy. Cheers Dick

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 have the Studio 530 stand mount version and it can embarrass a lot of speakers under 2k, including the LS50. Looks and finish though....not impressive. 

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.
