The price would be worth adding.

I had been eyeing these along with a few other similarly priced speakers for a while. Decided to jump on the crazy $240 deal earlier this summer, got 3 of these for LCR and a pair of 530s for surrounds.

These absolutely blow me away any time I listen to them. As someone who had always loved loud movies and music, these were perfect. I still find myself just sitting back and listening to music for hours. If you're looking in this price range, I strongly recommend these.

How do they sound at quiet volumes? Most of my listening time is after the kids go to bed, so I'm more concerned with accurate reproduction of sound and clarity rather than how loud they get.

I'm thinking the 580s might be a better fit than the 590s. I just bought the Monolith THX-365t speakers for left and right. I haven't even tried them yet, but I may order the 580s and decide which I like better and return the ones I don't like.

This was some bug, right? I cannot seem to find what it was, still kicking myself that I missed it! Does it still work?

I believe it was fixed pretty quickly. It appeared to be a bug. Added to cart, closed the browser and then returned to see a lower price. Brought the 590s to $240 and a pair of 530s to $200

I think the decision comes down to whether or not you've got a subwoofer. The 590s are going to give you a lot more low end than the 580s will. My subjective opinion is that they sound great at lower volumes as well.

I agree with Randyj's comment. I have two 590's in a small room that is around 10' x 12' and I have them barely turned up at night and they still sound awesome. The compression tweeter on these are pretty amazing! They're very clean sounding.

If you do buy them, then hopefully you won't have to return them because the packing is pretty beefy. If they're like my 590's they will come on a pallet that is completely Saran wrapped. Under the Saran Wrap, are large boxes over the speakers. Inside of the boxes are big pieces of styrofoam around the top, middle, and bottom. Then clear plastic with tape all over the speakers. Lol, it's quite the workout, getting them unpackaged. Also, be careful. For some reason, they ship them with the plastic feet installed onto the speaker so you could break them if you're not careful.

Love my 590s.

If you got space and don't mind the look hard to beat.

Omg. I set up an alert for this and didn't get anything. Good thing I randomly check for it smh.

Ordered the 590s and 520. For extra $50 off, do their email sign up. They will send you a promo code.

Thanks OP.

Randomly checking the internet for sales or discounted rates for a product I like is how I found a Panasonic ub-9000 for $799 open box instead of having to pay $1099 brand new sealed box. As far as audio goes there are members on avsforum.com that post audio products for sale that are sometimes brand new or used. In the last few months I've seen at least two Infinity Reference RC-263 advertised as well as a few other speakers from that series

In for 2 arriving Tuesday. I had seen the z review video on these before and the reddit comments on these are really really positive. I bought the 530s for desktop 6 months ago and absolutely love them. Way better than klipsch rp-150M for clarity and sound imaging and smoothing out the harshness of loud high end.

My room is like 12x10 lmao but I consider this an investment and will keep them in the common area until I level up my living situation. Can't wait!!

Any recommendations on avsforum to find the discounted products or are they individuals selling them that might have opened them and not liked them?

Cheers and many thanks!
