I have been too curious about the 530's and these seem to be as close as I'll get! I hope the cabinet resonance is not to bad, that is often the downfall of inexpensive towers.

I have always wished you did try the 530's. I think that you would be surprised just how good they are. I have no doubt that the towers are just as impressive! Go for it! Cheers, Phil

They are 49 lbs and are said to be braced, should tame some resonance -- still $799 each at JBL.com --- Most people like the Studio 5 series, however as in all things audio nothing is guaranteed.

That is the lowest price that I have ever seen on them. Have no room for any more speakers either.....LOL!!! But, darn this is such a good deal. Heck, I am not a tower guy and so very tempted.

To put things in perspective, I'll (eventually) trial these against Klipsch RF-82ii and JBL ls60. The LS60's are what has been saving me from previous Studio deals...it is JBL and from higher up their line. My real curiosity is how they will interact with my poop for acoustics living room!

Click to expand... Kurt, if you are referring to the top end I assure you that the 580's would work well in that regard. The wave-guides certainly do their part. Have read that the guides help tame early reflections. There is a much more informed and technical explanation, but that is how I understand it. Will see if I can find that specific info and get back to you on that. Cheers, Phil

Click to expand... The Sonic signature should be a little different, as that Bi-radial horn is unique and I like the soundstage of the 530 -- I have not listened to the LS series, however I expect the Studio 5 to be better. I prefer the sonic sound signature of the Studio 5 over the Klipsch RB/RF series.

G GeneC Junior Audioholic Aug 24, 2017 #17 I wonder if the smallish 4" center channel speaker (520) can keep up with the rest of the 500 series or should something else be considered, like the Studio 235C.
