man00 had been able to compare the 590's to his L100T. I've got the L100T3 version and recently compared it to the 530 after having been using to the 530 for almost a year. I was looking for info on the 590 sensitivity and a response curve, when I found this forum post, and mucked it up. Sorry about the confusion.Quote:

Well , as you know .... the old saying in the auto racing world,Quote:

Why, Do speakers need to be the same size to compare if their musical?Quote:

I am impressed by my LSR305 powered monitors, but don't expect them to do what my 4345s can.
:cheers:
Yes I have a pair or M308 Mk2 with a sub and as good as they are they just can't do dynamics like the larger systems.Quote:

like the LE14H-1 or even that 12 in the L7's.
BUT THEN : my a/d/s towers with twin 8's do bass pretty well as did my
AR PS-428's with twin 8's (tho 1 was amped as a sub)*
*but they seemed better on HT than music. :blink:
Sorry that is all I had to offer, I don't know what the graphs difference between the two are..I just go by how they sound to me and the 590's were much better for me...Some of these charts and graphs are like benchmarks for computers...if you can't see or hear the difference most likely they are not.....IMOQuote:

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Studio 590 to the Stage A190? Both are currently on-sale very cheap but the newer Stage is actually $100 less per speaker. Just wondering. Thanks.
Can't seem to find any detailed photos of the drivers from either.
I wish I was closer:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2111112l%22%7D
