I would say they are in the same level so more a lateral move rather than upgrade.
It may be considered an upgrade based on sound signature preference though.
Edit: The 225's aren't very efficient so people may find they will need more power to get them to their potential.

Conclusion from the review.
While the JBL Studio 530 has some obvious flaws, it is clear that care was put in there to optimize the design for technically good objective performance. Near flat on-axis response and very smooth predicted in-room response is the result. Alas, if you are like me, you want a bit of lipstick on your speaker and more SPL (loudness) capability to really enjoy music. At the retail price of $600, the 530 does not get there and my strong recommendation would be for the ELAC DBR-62. But for $300, if you are open to some EQ and don't shake the wall as much as I like to do, the JBL 530 is fine.
Given all of this, I can give my recommendation for JBL 530 studio at its sale price.
