lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,861 0 113 Oakridge, OR Mar 6, 2019 #4 I think they're just slowly closing out these various consumer lines. Less and less of each series are available or maybe they're just continuing with certain models that sell well. I think @jsf0656 may be interested in this sale.... ps FWIW this sale still isn't as good as when I got my 590s and 580s. Reactions: KEW

Yes, for the price (I'm remembering $360 each, but may be off by $20 or so),they do everything well. They are not my best speakers, but for the price, they continue to be among my favorites!

But its documented that Klipsch fudges their sensitivity. In fact, Shady tested it out at 92.1dB @1m for the rp-8000. So the question is, does JBL fudge their spec?

ryanosaur Audioholic Overlord Sep 14, 2018 11,686 0 113 Apr 1, 2019 #15 If I had the disposable income, I'd pull 3 590s and 4 580s for a 7-channel system. And get divorced in the process. But I don't, and I won't, so I won't. I've heard enough good stuff about the JBLs, I would probably still choose these over Klipsch if I were going to look for a mid-low budget rig.

ryanosaur Audioholic Overlord Sep 14, 2018 11,686 0 113 Apr 1, 2019 #16 Though, I did just notice that they call the 590 a 2.5-way, with only 1 xo freq (1.5kHz). Doesn't that make it a straight 2-way? 2.5 would be 2 different drivers (say 2 matching woofers +1 tweet) with the woofers xo'd at different freq's? Reactions: KEW

The two matching 8" drivers aren't tasked to the same thing so 2.5 way (one is more tasked to midrange).
