I've heard both side by side and the 508.24 is better. The 588 is very bright, emphasizing sibilance and has an unusual peak in the upper bass. The 508.24 has great dynamics and is a very natural sounding player.
Hi heard a Meridian 588 vs an Electrocompaniet EMC1 Mk II and the Electro won hands down in most departments. The 588 sounded very narrow and flat. It didnt fill the room as much as the electro did. Very 2D.
