    I paid more for them used here than what you lucky folk in the US can get them for from the JBL site, and I still think they were a steal. My favourite thing about them are how the horns are just so good at laying out a consistent sound across a wide cone - no more nervosa about sitting in the exact sweet spot.

    If your room's on the smaller side, 580s may be better - my 590s are a little boomy even with both rear ports plugged, but tbf I need to position them close to the wall. Only thing I would nitpick on is the veneer, which looks a wee bit cheap. For reference, I'm using Modi 3 into Yamaha A-S700.

    I know a number of folk here didn't rate the 530s in a meet a while back, but for anyone looking for some floorstanders, do give the bigger brothers a go esp when they're on sale. For starters, they're now cheaper than a lot of headphones!

    We’ll see, man. It will be in the future but they have similar sales pretty often. In the past 6 months we bought 2 cars and we just put an offer on a house as we restart our lives basically from scratch back in the US so money is tight right now. Thanks for the input!
