    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.

    So, your comparison is between a modern 5.25" woofer 2-way in a 17-inch-tall cabinet and a vintage 12-inch woofer 3-way in a 36-inch-tall box? Sheer size alone might influence soundstage/image. Like you said, I'd like to see a comparison with the 590 beyond man00's single sentence.

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

    "there's no substitute for cubic inches"

    with modern gear, don't know if that holds true anymore

    Hello Seawolf

    It still does can't change physics! I have a pair of 590's and like them. Have not done any side by sides. The replaced a pair of L5's which I intend to keep. Use/used both pairs with subs.

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

    Old sayings: "Horsepower costs money, how fast do you want to go." and "No replacement for displacement".

    You were talking about soundstage and dynamics. Size does matter. What does "musical" mean? If it's referring to fidelity to the source, then as long as they can produce the dynamics and frequency range from a 5-1/4-inch woofer, then fantastic. I am impressed by my LSR305 powered monitors, but don't expect them to do what my 4345s can.

    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.

    all over answer

    .
    I would love to hear a new , smaller speaker that can shake thing up
    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.

    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.....IMO

    I spent all day today A-B-ing my LE14H-1/2344/2425 based system with my new 590s. It's a draw. Both sound big and reach well into the first octave. I was prepared to not like them, but...they're staying.

    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.
