Please recommend a receiver/integated/seaprates for JBL studio 530.
Since you like the Denon so much you should get another one!! https://www.crutchfield.com/S-hYM4qohClT7/shopsearch/denon_receiver.html?XVINQ=MI2&XVVER=PEH&... |
Well the problem is instead of looking for a good amp you're looking for an amp that will make your speakers sound good, which is another thing altogether. I mean its fine if that's what you want but are you sure? The sound you're looking for, "lush, liquid, juicy" yet with punchy tight articulate bass is kind of a tough combination- especially in a cheap little receiver. (Your words not mine.) Let's say you find it. Its only a matter of time before you either tire of this lush sound, or the speakers go or you upgrade them, or something (anything) changes and you're confronted with the reality you've got a way lush of center component in your system. Then if you do what the system matching guys are always saying, you will find another flawed component to offset and counteract the majorly flawed amp you just worked so hard to find. There's a whole slew of guys here usually leap at the chance to tell you what to buy. Probably the CCP virus has everyone off their game. They'll be along. Trust me. Anyway that's not my style. I had JBLs for years. Decades. Ruined me. Got it into my head they somehow sounded good. By the time I sold them it was like an ice pick in my ear. Just my way of planting the seed that the preferences you have right now might just maybe change in coming years. You might maybe want to look around for affordable integrated amps. With tubes, if at all possible. Or if not then at least listen to some. If only to let you know what a good amp is supposed to sound like. So instead of trying to find what you had, you maybe find something better. PS- in the time it took me to write this yogiboy obliged with just what was expected. So I was right. Yet again. |
I have JBL 580 speakers. I had very good results with this amp Black Ice Fusion-3502P. Underwood hifi has this integrated on sale gor $1100 regular price $1800. check it out https://www.underwoodhifi.com/specials |

Yogi: I've tried a much newer Denon and it came up short, man. No guts whatsoever. Really disappointed cuz i thought it would better the small Denon. 54: I have the 590s and are perfectly happy with that set-up. I'm looking for a match for my 530s. I appreciate it, though. That Black Ice looks sharp!!! A bit more than what I'd like to spend for my 530s. Miller: I've had good tube amps in the past. Shame I don't have one now to try them with the 530s. They might be the answer. Who knows? |
