I would love to give one a spin and also get some measurements. I have to wonder how it compares to the Klipsch implementation of tractrix horns.

Yet in a recent sale I picked up a pair of the 590s for $900 delivered and saw that the 520 went for as little as $230 and the 530 for $330. Seemingly the line is being closed out but with some high prices for the last few pieces....

The 5 series did get more popular towards the end it seems. I'm glad I got a set, and got deals on all of 'em (picked up a set of 530s with a 520 for $600 used in addition to the nice deal on the new 590s), they are very nice speakers.

However the Studio 5 series are clearly in a higher league. They were easy to open up; the screws to the woofer are hid behind the extended rubber surround. Last edited: Sep 3, 2016

They'd made a nice 2.1/5.1 setup.

I own the 530's (and 590's) and love them. I hoped a buddy setup a home theater this summer and he bought some 230's and they are solid bookshelves. The 530's are a better speaker, but also considerably more money. The 230 had many of the great traits of the 530's. Good imaging, nice highs, and decent bass (you will need a sub).
