If you want to avoid a sub, you want to spend more on floorstanding speakers instead of bookshelves.

I have some huge, 40+ pound floorstanding speakers in my main room, they still greatly benefit from a sub, especially for movie content.

If I could do it all over again, I'd buy better bookshelf speakers and two subs. This is what I learned from my garage system as the bookshelf speakers with 5.25 inch woofers generally blend well with a 12 inch sub in-room.

So my suggestion: for the price of the floorstanding speakers anyone is looking at, spend it on bookshelf speakers, speaker stands, and a sub instead.

Had these before and if I didn't go the wireless route, I'd buy a few pairs right now. I chose the infinity 162's because the center channel RC263 had rave reviews. I JUST hooked it up and love it so far as I didn't previously have the space to install it as is in my home because it's a beast

Can anyone comment on how these perform on the bass department? Rated @45 hz, do they perform well on the low end? Trying to avoid a sub in a 5.1 system.

I just posted in the other thread for these speakers. Here is what I posted :

I have the 590 for the front stage in my media room. 530 for the side surrounds. I am very pleased by the sound quality these speakers produce. One thing I note is sound imaging is really good. I am able to distinctly sense where the instruments and vocals are placed within a sound mix. For some context, I also own JBL LSR 305 for my desk top and again imaging is top notch. However I greatly prefer the 590s and 530s. For a brief period I ran the 530s as my mains and was super impressed except for the bass. I do have dual PSA XS30 subwoofers (dual opposed 15" woofers in a sealed enclosure) doing the bass duties and I crossed them at 80hz.

Yes! I am debating between these and the 6.5 inch woofered, similar priced Polk S20 or Elac B6.2 The Polks can go down to 39Hz apparently!

Previous thread for $350 for speakers + earphones was FP worthy,
https://slickdeals.net/f/15069781-jbl-studio-530-bookshelf-speakers-under-armour-project-rock-true-wireless-headphones-349-99-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

So this should qualify, as you don't need to get the combo!

https://www.harmanaudio.com/STUDIO+530BK.html

The JBL® Studio 530 bookshelf loudspeaker brings professional-quality sound to the home experience. The Studio 530 takes the technology that JBL engineers developed for pro-audio loudspeakers and uses it to deliver accurate and powerful sound to your living room. And it's versatile: the Studio 530 can replay a left-channel signal, a right-channel signal or surround-sound channels. The Studio 530 features a 1-inch (25-millimeter) tweeter mounted on a glass-filled Bi-Radial® horn – the technology that JBL concert-sound systems use – to deliver concise, sustained high frequencies. A 5-1/4-inch (130-millimeter) PolyPlas™ cone with a Symmetrical Field Geometry™ (SFG) magnet assembly handles low frequencies.
