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.

Curious what amp are you using with the jbl and kef prior and how big is the room?

Thanks.

I'm currently going to be using an Anthem STR Integrated Amp.  The room is big and odd.. It's connected to a kitchen (open concept kinda thing) that puts my listening position right in a dead spot.

Excellent.  However, I refused the shippment so I never actually took hold of them.  I decided they were too big and impossible to sell.

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.
