JBL Speakers: JBL Studio 590 Floorstanding Speaker Expired

Hi, my statement is that they are competitive with other speakers and ought to be considered by a buyer in these price ranges, even when considered at full retail I find they complete well. The sale prices changes things for many as often people have a maximum budget.

Demand is often driven by "deals", thus we are on slickdeals no?
I assure you JBL is making mad loot in biz.

As stated earlier Harman is discounting lines no longer carried at dealers. They have more leeway with pricing this way and obviously this is a good thing for consumers when the manufacturer decides to host really deep cut sales direct.
Revels are only sold by Dealers. The brand has been chosen by Harman to be protected from price wars and such and drive sales to local in person installers/dealers. This is common with higher-end products or even lower end products by certain brands. (Apple, Bose ect) They need to protect the dealers ability to make their share of the profits and I assure you if you work with a good local dealer and buy a few things you can negotiate a great price below retail.
Yes the mark up is huge on something like a REVEL tower, but beyond manufacture costs, huge tower speakers cost a lot of money to ship around to various destinations and warehousing them is expensive at the dealer and most dealers need to pay a lot bills for their business with the revenue they generate from sales.

Thus math wise one can see how sometimes a speaker that you pick up for $1000 may actually be competitive sound quality wise with a much more expensive speaker even given the same level of engineering. Now factor in engineering and you can really end up with a crapshoot.

I have heard $500 speakers that I like more than $1500 speakers many times now.

Starting with a good deal on a well received speaker is great option. Of course one may try as many options as one likes. I do.

paid 240 ea for the studio 580s
love them with my reference infinity setup..

590 would have been too much for me , i bet the 590s are great for music

When was that?

LOL Oh PLEASE show ONE example where I did this PLEASE????!!!!!!

I'm not going to hold my breath though AGAIN!!!!!

I would like to tell you I'm sorry that my personal observation and experience does not mirror yours but I'm not, as even YOU fans even say this is SUBJECTIVE!

You do realize you can just block me or even easier just skip over my post and don't read it, this will make these threads much more "enjoyable" for you.

Tell you what if you can point where it's written that only "enjoyable"/praise post are allowed on here I will........Hey wait a second! come to think about it where have "I" actually said these speakers(or any) are good or bad ones or if they are a "good product/value"?

I'll wait for you to point to where I did before finishing that sentence, someone wake me when it does!

These are objectively good speakers. They test well and are made by JBL who have a vast amount of loudspeaker and sound design experience. As with all sensitive horn speakers, they require appropriate amplification, source and setup. The average HT receiver and BD player isn't going to cut it.

What the hell, you point to "test" and "reviews" tells everyone how something "sounds" and now you're adding "appropriate amplification" and "setup" plays a role also!?
So does that mean if you use a regular receiver these are "bad speakers"?

"BD player"!? This I have to hear, how does this play into it?
There is a good and bad ones with audio, how so?

Please tell my again because these are not my "personal taste" makes me wrong again?

Oh btw I know a few people who consider these at the top end of "entry level speakers", I guess "entry level speakers" can be "good speakers".

I recall someone saying "entry level speakers" won't perform well, it's "not rocket science"!

I've been posting on the internet about audio for quite some time and this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Mythic, really.

If you can't tell the difference between (vastly) different amplifiers and sources or understand system synergy, I can't help you. If you stream Spotify into a HT receiver on these you're going to have a hot mess on your hands, literally.

Your straw man said entry level speakers don't perform well and a moron called a $2000 pair of 70lb JBLs an entry level speaker.

LOL where the hell did I say "don't perform well"!!?

LOL What "moron" would pay $2k for these!!!
I would like to sell them some ocean front property in Arizona!!! 🤪

There have been many fanboys that admitted they would not buy these at that price!

If you have posted on the internet as long as you say, you must know there are arguably many other choices people would choose over these at that price!!!!!!!!!!

How many times do people say these are great choice "for the price"!!!

So what's your JBL setup consist of?

An endless supply of handwaving and straw men. Sigh.

I know right how dare anyone question your "personal taste" !!!

Don't they know you build "speakers and subs" and you are able to tell us what "most of us" like without ever listening to anything!!!!

Oh mighty audiophile one, forgive them they know not what they do!!!! 🙏🏼

There is a mountain of evidence indicating these are good speakers. If you can't get them to work for you or your clients, you have unrealistic expectations, poor supporting components or source, flat out don't know what you're doing, or are a shill for your employer.

This guy goes to every single JBL thread to crap on these speakers. Just ignore him.

So please Mr Audiophile how does someone "get these to work" if they are not their "personal taste"?

If they are that great clearly your current setup MUST include them, what is that setup?
