Hi everyone,
I'm a new forum member here, but am active on a number of others.
I own a pair of Altec Model 19s, and they really got me hooked on the Lansing sound.
After going through many different speaker brands/models, I heard about the JBL Studio 590 and decided to take a look.
Researching the speakers, I saw Greg Timbers (@gtimbers) was involved with the design and I became very interested. Long story short, I decided to give them a try. The 590s are very impressive and I'm amazed at what they do differently/better than a lot of other speakers. They have displaced a pair of speakers I never thought would move from their location.
Recently I saw the posts about Greg and other top engineers at JBL being removed from the company. I'm shocked and saddened that more and more companies are after the short-term bottom line. It's a disgrace and a very poor decision for JBL/Harman.
Having heard the 590s, I wish I could try some of Greg's upper-level designs to see just how amazing they really are especially now that those will be the last true JBL designs.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you to Greg for a great pair of speakers!
