JBL has all the Studio line on sale for 2021 black friday right now.
Hopefully you bought them on sale when they are 55-60% off!530’s are $238 a pair again and I had to buy a few more pairs. My HT has 3 x 590’s behind an AT screen and I will have 6 x 530’s for surrounds and front wides. I‘m using an Anthem 1140 and Emotiva amps and just love this speaker line. I’m currently using 6 x RSL inceiling for Atmos, but am going to switch to JBL control 227‘s in custom built enclosures in the ceiling. I have had several for a few years and enjoy them. They are coaxial with compression driver and have wide dispersion. They are easy to drive and I think will pair well with the Studio 5 series. I know there’s better speakers out there but I love the sound of these with the Anthem and ARC and I have two Monolith 15’s and crossover at 80hz.
Oh yeah, I waited for all the sales. They are such a good value, with free shipping and free returns I’m not sure how JBL makes money on these things. I paid $449 apiece for the 590’s and they came on a pallet. Can’t be cheap to ship..Hopefully you bought them on sale when they are 55-60% off!
I don’t like the cheap look for a family room, but fir behind an acoustically transparent screen their value have no equals!Oh yeah, I waited for all the sales.

How do they sound with music?Yes and the bookshelves are in columns. My wife nicknamed the 590 “the sarcophagus”.
That's a big room - how much volume do you need? Something like the Studio 580 might be a better match depending on how loud you get.I just ordered these up! I have a fairly large 30 x 15ft room that needs music. Is there anything else comparable at this price point??
