Looks like you still get the 5 year warranty so not bad.

If only there was a JBL equivalent of the RC263. I bought one for 150 about a year ago and nothing under 500 dollars beats them. It's by far the only budget 3 way center channel speaker worth buying. They haven't been in stock since.

You can save 30 bucks if you decide to buy dual 550p. For under 330, I cant think of anything else that beats it in performance.

I've heard that their refurbished are just as good as new

I currently run the RC263 as my center channel with Emotiva T2+ as my left and right speakers. Works great!

Overall though, the studio 580 or 590 refurbished would be amazing deals for anyone who hasn't experience hifi.

Deng that's a great price on the 530s. I imagine "refurbished" speakers are just speakers that have been returned. It's not like a whole lot can go wrong with them to begin with.

I've had an ongoing love affair with the Studio 5XX series from JBL for years now. I've had 590's, 570's, 530's, 520c's. I gifted all away but my 530's. Those are really special. I even peeled off the plastic "veneer" and put on walnut veneer and stained it to boot. They are forever speakers in my eyes. I own much more expensive and presumably "nicer" sounding speakers but I always pull out the 530's every now and then and can't help but smile.

If you're on the fence, 200 dollars will get you an amazing set of speakers.

Oh man. I wish I saw this sooner. The 550p at this price is a steal. I have one in my office. Would've picked one up for the living room.

The 530s are a steal too. Mine are sitting in a box right now because they were replaced with 590s in the HT.

Same...I bought Kef LS50s, SVS Ultras and Klipsch RP-500s and sold or returned them all in favor of the 530s. The JBL compression drivers are just in a league of their own. I'm done trying to find anything better.

Wow. I think everything sold out. Need to finish my basement and am excited to find the best speakers possible. Learned something new about the 530s. Theyve made the list!

530s are phenomenal speakers at this price. I have a pair for my L/R for my home theater and a pair on my desk for nearfield at my computer. Absolutely love them.
