OP list the 550P subwoofer as well for $189 super good deal. I bought it, the center, and two floor standing speakers and have been completely content in the quality. Some people talk crap on JBL but at these prices you cant complain for what your getting. Only thing i can say for the subs is if you want more theater style bass get the 12" JBL subs for your set up instead of the 10". Its more work but the 10" doesnt deliver that ground shaking bass like the 12s will.

Most people that are serious about this set buy 3 590s and use one as the center on it's side. It's not ideal, but it's worlds better than the 520C. Other option is the Infinity RC263 which goes on sale pretty frequently as well.

This is an amazing deal on the 590s. Great speakers, and at this price they can't be beat. I paid $1000, and I think they were worth every penny. Buy 3 if you have the room to use one as center channel.

My Energy fronts got damaged by my kitties.. so now need to replace but won't match the 2 pairs of surrounds...ugh... Energy is all discontinued and overpriced for used ones.

Thinking about just starting from scratch unless someone can recommended fronts and a center that would tonally somewhat work

Yeah I have the infinity RC263 that's a real center channel

I've been tempted by the 590s so many times... not sure if they will mix well with the RC263 tho.

I think thats quite a misleading thing to say. Most people are not using a 590 on its side as center. Or are you saying anyone that doesnt do that isnt 'serious', making the statement meaningless?

The 590s are fairly neutral and can work with most neutral centers. I know of people using chanes, emotivas, philharmonics, svs elite, etc as a center with 580/590s.

Not that big of a deal to have your fronts not match your rears, IMO. Pretty common for folks to use their old speakers as their surrounds.

What's up with the 12" 560P subwoofer? They don't seem to list it.
