The best speaker I ever Owned. Unbelievable sound
on December 19, 2015
Posted by: gecka78

For about 7-8 years, I had the famous JBL studio L speakers (7.3 Floor Standing system). I was always listening and comparing other speakers and couldn't find anything better , for the last couple of years I was reading about studio 5 series, and I finally decided to order a pair of studio 530's, I was shocked at how much better, cleaner, and more open they sounded, more open than my L890's, After a few days of listening to music and watching movies I ordered the center speaker and finally ordered pair of these monsters along with a pair of 560p subs. I have had them for about a week now and cannot get enough of listening to them. These speakers are the best I ever heard...Ever! The bass is so tight , clean and deep. Highs are just unbelievable clean, open and smooth. I listen music and watch HD quality movies a lot and I cannot believe how much I was missing before. If you can afford it, just get them. I think this is the best investment you can make and you will be extremely happy with them.

Just what I wanted!

I have been listening to these for only a week, and as I expect them to break-in nicely, I can only imagine how good they will sound then. Natural voices combine with thunderous bass and an expansive sound stage image to make the Studio 590s top of the line speakers. I own several other JBL products, and this is such a natural progression for the line. Speaker size strikes a commanding presence in a large room, and the sound can easily fill the same space.

Great sounding, powerful speakers

I am very pleased with the clean, powerful sound these speakers produce. Using the Studio 590 in a two channel setup works great without the need for a subwoofer (unless you gotta hear/feel the deepest pipe organ or synth notes). Even using a moderately powered 50 wpc NAD integrated, they produce excellent dynamics. The only issue I have is the grilles. If you want to listen with the grilles off, you have to replace the bottom quarter of the HF horn with the provided plastic piece. It was difficult to line up the piece in order to attach correctly. The top tab connects OK, but It felt like the attaching posts were going to bend - had to connect one side at at time, and wiggle it in place. I would say the designers chose form over function in this respect.

Total Musical Enjoyment

Purchased Studio 590s and their matching speakers for a 7:1 (SVS Ultra 13 sub)totally immersive sound system. After auditioning B&W, Paradigm, Golden Ear and others I settled on JBL for the realism in music I demand. The detail and sound stage are awesome. I hear cymbals that are true to sound and you can hear the diminishing sound after the strike. This is a well balanced system with plenty of punch and realistic sound. Excellent for home theater and pure enjoyment for listening to all music genres.

Amazing sound!!

The packages were delayed by almost a week and the anticipation killed me. But these speakers are weak worth the money! I would buy more sets to add to all my rooms if I had the money! I have never had speakers that have hit so low before. But it is a very crisp low. Does not sound sloppy. The highs are very clean sounding and it’s amazing that the two don’t clash. I hear a big difference when watching movies and listening to music! It is safe to say BUY THESE SPEAKERS!

Expansive sound, without sounding forced
on April 16, 2019

I remember when I sold horn speakers in the 80's and 90's. While they were usually efficient and loud, I really didn't consider them a type of speaker that would coax the intricacies and details out of great recordings. Fast forward to 2019....I'm amazed at the advances in horn/speaker technology. Yes I know, I've been out of the industry for a while.
Let me just say upfront that the sound of these speakers are amazing. They completely caught me by surprise. The 590s present a large sound/soundstage, but at the same time, they don't sound "forced". Moreover, I feel that there is so much "air" that I can hear in the soundstage, that I'm actually listening to music...not just speakers. The detail, precision, and fullness is more than impressive.
Before I hooked up the Studio 590s, I thought I might have to add a sub-woofer in order to get the deep bass that I usually appreciate. However, on the first listen, that thought was quickly abandoned. The lower end is full, but not tubby or plodding. Just a quick, definitive bass.
So far, I've listened to Jazz, Classical, Rock, Chillout, various Popular Music, stuff from the Rat Pack era, etc....these speakers can handle it all.
A couple of things that did surprise me:
- Older recordings seemed to be rejuvenated...they really held up well.
- As well as, I was able to hear new details in other recordings that I was very familiar with. Again, a pleasant surprise.

Overall, I would highly recommend these speakers to someone looking to upgrade their system. From casual listener to hard core Audiophile you won't be disappointed.

Gentle Acoustic Giants

These speakers are big, heavy, and impressive. Like a spaceship these speakers will take you to other worlds. I upgraded from some much older JBL stadium speakers and it was like night and day in playback quality. My music and movies became much more clear, crisp and focused. I've not been moved to tears by speakers in a long time, but playing back my favorite tracks over these sent chills down my spine. These speakers contain tech found in more expensive speakers and punch well above their cost. Make sure to power them with at least 100 watts, though they play really load even at low levels. They will crush your space at well below their rated max, and they sound darn good doing it. I matched them with the center channel, a must if you want a consistent sound, don't worry the center channel keeps up with no issues and also sounds very good as well. If you setup your room correctly, I recommend checking out Z-reviews video about these speakers for more detail. These speakers benefit from sitting higher in most rooms, I sit mine on my duel 12" subs in the front and angle them in toward my seats. It makes the imaging just that much better, making for a nearly perfect center without the center channel. And yes do yourself a favor and listen to these speakers in stereo mode if your amp\receiver supports 2 channel with sub. Turn off surround and focus the sound to these for music and you will understand. Switch between surround and stereo for contrast, again everyone has different gear and spaces but these speakers are incredible by themselves. The sound reproduction is just something that you need to hear to understand. Let these spaceships take your ears to the stars!

Love the 590's

Studio 590's are ear bleeding loud yet cristal clear and good mid bass. I am running them with a onkyo Amp 250 rms each speaker.
