We need to get these 590's measured on the Klippel.
There is the new JBL HDI series, tho.
Getting these shipped to Amir is unlikely, they're HUGE. The 590's are one of the most enjoyable speakers I've own in my 20 year hobby.
True. But, a comparable JBL HDI model close to the JBL Studio 530 would run you about $2,000 for the pair. That opens up the game a bit further if you're in the market for a $2,000 pair of speakers. Getting the JBL 530s @ $300 was really a no-brainer. But, opting for the HDI series, does take some more consideration.
Did you modify your 590s by using some after-market floor spikes? They look great!
Very nice.... QuestionMy modest system with a pair of JBL 530s and 2 10" Monolith subs. I'm surprised by the performance of the JBL speakers. I've owned many others in the past at a higher cost, but these have really captured my attention.

Yes, looking for 580sIf anyone is in the market for a set of Studio 580s, they appear to be sold out from jbl direct, but I have a set for sale in DFW. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
Comparing the 580 size vs 590 size. I got rid of the 590's. The 580's sounded better to me. The 580's seemed to integrate the sound of the drivers and soundstage better in my room. Also the 590's (in my room) were a little too bass heavy for me.

Comparing size of the 580’s to my old Klipsch RP280F (living room is lively I didn't keep either pair up here long, but the 580's we noticeably less bright in this room)

I’ve been running a pair of JBL Studio 580’s for over a year. It’s probably the longest I’ve kept a pair of speakers. Needless to say I enjoy them. Below are some pictures of the internals. I’ll spare most of my subjective comments other than looking inside the box and at the components it looks to me like you get a lot for the asking price of $700 per pair.

I didn’t get pics of the 2414H-1 compression drivers. I couldn’t figure out how to pop the horn off to get access.
