JBL and the Fives

Tom Norton  |  Sep 11, 2011

JBL showed, but did not demonstrate, its new Studio 5 series. Intriguingly styled, with the tweeter horn cleverly incorporated into the cabinet structure, it consists of 5 models: the Studio 530 bookshelf ($689/pr), the Studio 580 tower with dual 6.5-inch woofers ($899 each), the Studio 590 with dual 8-inch woofers ($1119 each), the Studio 520C center, and the Studio 550P sub ($689).

The styling reminds me of the Jadis Eurythmie from years past
and just like the Jadis - there will probably be comparisons with yosemite sam not that that's a bad thing - It's the first thing I thought of when I saw the styling
I find the Jadis interesting to look at and I do like the styling of these
The big question is how do they sound.

I had to go to Google Images to see what a Jadis Eurythmie looked like and indeed there certainly is a similarity to these nicely designed JBLs.
