Pros & Cons
Pros
In 2 channel stereo mode these speakers are a pure delight. They look like some aftermarket company speaker with all the plastic and everything showing but the sound they reproduce easily makes up for it. Jbl is the most underrated speaker maker of ye... Read More
Unique look, so when a guest comes over, it's going to be eye catching. The imaging is fantastic.
I have them setup in my 14' x 16' master bedroom. They are perfect for my bedroom since i never play them very loud although they can be loud if needed. My setup is in my basement, which works well.
The 570 mini towers are my favorite sounding speakers in the studio series, designed by former jbl engineer greg timbers. The same 1 compression tweeter is used in the 530 bookshelf speaker and the 570, 580 and 590 towers. Even the 590 has a good timb... Read More
The 580s soundstage is out of this world compared to anything else. The bass on the 250ti is more present but the 590's are more defined in the midrange and high frequencies.
Cons
The feet are so cheap i could see them flexing from the weight of the speaker, and was afraid to move them. The bass was all thump and no precision. And the poor quality of mdf / vinyl / crossovers / speaker cones & caskets / binding posts / outpo... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Build quality is very good and will not break or tarnish if taken care of.
It's like you're in the room with the singer.
However, the subtly irritating quality keep these from being giant-killers at their price point.
I searched over the internet and not found any review so far for this product.
Price
Weight is very substantial, but the materials and overall finish are no where near my grand verus towers which cost $799 ea (th... Read More
Shipping
I understand that these are difficult to come by, but i picked up mine last december from harman's ebay site for $477 each, new... Read More
Im glad jbl sent these speakers out with way too little of shipping protection.
This is the one black eye on these - marginal shipping box - perhaps jbl should ship with the feet removed and have the user pu... Read More
Packaging/appearance
I moved the bookshelfs to the rear and already had the matching center in place.
Competitiveness
I now have them connected to a dayton apa150 amplifier, preceded by a yaqin cd3 tube buffer with tung-sol 6sn7gtbs.
Still, the sound coming out of these speakers is as good or better than my aperion grand verus towers hooked up to a yamaha ave... Read More
I've heard many speakers way better than this, but they cost at least 5x (or way more) than these jbls.
I replaced them with threaded inserts and something a little more substancial.

Even equalized in my receiver its still a bit difficult to get the bass to match that tweeter

Had i paid full price id probably be wondering where the bass and low midrange punch is
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For only about a hundred dollars more than a pair of 530s its a hell of a deal to try and pass up and im glad i didnt
