          I'm betting these are NOT refurbs at all, just a way to "off" some of their stock.  Either way, they have the same 5-year warranty as new.

          I still have my 2.0 Boston VR series 950s and VR920 Lynnfield center and had them paired with a Yamaha TSR 7810 (the receiver before yours)

          I talk to them for a bit then they disconnect. So ask quick and let them know you're having problems. They emailed the code after it disconnected

          So I would point out JBL list the 590’s as 6 ohm, 92 dB Sensitivity and recommended power of 25-250 watts. 
 
So depending on your situation you can get to it’s potential between 25-250 watts.
