Watching you from the Dominican Republic. It is so refreshing to watch "normal people" products reviews wrapped in outstanding aesthetics and production. Keep up the good work!

[billymurphy]

Kristi’s take is honestly one of my favorite sections of your reviews.

Her opinions provide valuable insight that often isn’t exactly aligned with yours and it adds so much to your reviews.

It’s enjoyable to see two different views in one review.

[Larwiz]

Yeah. So it's the JBL Studio 590 that punch WAY above their price point! And right now, they're on sale for $399/1 speaker. They have 2 8in drivers also! These are the ones I'd love for you to review. I'm gonna contact JBL/Harman TODAY and see how they can get you a pair! They're largely regarded in the HT world as one of the BEST bargains!

I really appreciate what Kristi said about these speakers as it pertains to hearing loss. It’s something rarely if ever brought up on these type of reviews across many channels. I have severe tinnitus in one ear that has profound hearing loss. No high end at all and greatly compromised mid. The other ear has moderate tinnitus and some high end loss. It’s horrible and I don’t wish it on anyone.

So when it’s acknowledged that everyone is different and it could be more a part of audiophile reviews that many of us have hearing loss, it makes me feel less forgotten. Thank you for the review and thank you Kristi for the inclusion. Deafness is the forgotten or ignored disability.

Another fun, entertaining review. Thanks Andrew and Kristi. Honestly so many cheap impressive speakers at present, what a time to be alive! Keep up the great work. The room in your new house is looking awesome!

[shoerice]

Well.. i got a pair of a170, with 5.25 inch drivers and not 8 inch like the a190, and the 170 are blowing my mind. They pack such a nice punch that i had to turn off my subwoofer completely. Maybe its because my room is small, but i can imagine those pumping in bigger rooms. Awesome work by jbl

[PeterRoos]

JBL speakers are terrific, up and down the line from boomboxes to home theater speakers to professional grade studio monitors. I have 5 JLB 2328 LSR speakers (active) in my home studio, as well as the L100 Century and four more floor standing JBL speakers. They are hard to beat in terms of price / quality.

[richardbixler]

So a speaker that’s almost perfectly flat in frequency response is too treble forward? I think that says more about modern recording mixing trends imo. I added a preamp with tone controls and it’s the best part of my system. Everything seems to be mastered to sound good on headphones, cellphones, and flat panel TV’s speakers.

I own 3 pairs of JBL Arena 170 towers, and I must say for the price they are phenomenal performers. I paid $150 a pair USD many years ago during the holidays, and you can't find anything near them for that price nowadays. Kudos JBL on amazing speakers, and great job on your review. 👍🏻

[irineusantos]

I got a pair of Stage A180, and they are simply amazing!!! Definitely the best bang for your buck!

[LA-dbxj]

Great review Andrew. I've been a fan of JBL for many years. They don't always get the notoriety of some of the other speaker lines. But they never seem to make a bad speaker either. I currently run for a front sound stage JBL 290s, a 235c center channel and two Klipsch R-110SWs subs(I was too late to get two JBL 590Ps). In essence you can't go wrong with JBL.

[bearysh]

I have the JBL a190s and everything you said I totally agree with regarding the sound characteristics. Easy to place, easy to drive, slightly bright top end, deep boomy bass that gets a little squirrely in the nether regions. The soundstage is wide but not great. People and instrument’s can be sometimes placed and sometimes not. The speakers sometimes gives away their positions and you notice the sound is coming from them.

I use these in my gigantic 3 story 30 x 20 living room and they fill the entire space even using a chi-fi dac/amp (Loxjie A30). If you want affordable room filling sound these are a good choice.

I also have the JBL studio 530’s and those are tonally some of my favorite. For anything 100hz and above they smoke the stage a190s in every sound category except dispersion and ease of placement.

Lastly thank you Andrew and Kristi for all that you do. I’ve bought the Kanto Yu6 3 years ago after your review and have been hooked to the channel ever since. Recently bought a full Polk reserve ht setup because of your R700 review

[VuQuang]

Both my wife and I are happy with the four 190, four 120 and 135C we bought at 75% off MSRP back in May. They sound great for us on both music and movies.

[stevenbullock]

After watching this review, I ordered a pair on sale for 2/3 the price indicated, free ship and a coupon code! Should be an interesting comparison to some costlier speakers I have. Always love Kristi's take!

[felixwhipple]

I’m sure it something you won’t accept “props” for, but I have to say, one of my favorite parts of y’all’s reviews is seeing the name in the bottom right change to “Andrew Robinson + Kristi Wright” in the final segment of each review. Here’s to creating the environment that we wish existed in this ridiculous hobby and exhausting world ❤️ Thank you so much for all that you do!

[KristiWright]

Thanks so much for joining us today. How is everyone's week going?

[deathmetal]

Been watching you guys for a long time and love how confident Kristi is getting in the bonus discussions :)

[rockyestrada]

Thanks! I was thinking about the Heco aurora 700’s. Kristi read my mind. Get out of my head! Any other comparable for 1500 or less? Thanks again. Appreciate you all for your work. Former owner of JBL 150a’s.

[NosEL]

I'm starting to love these lower priced speaker reviews..mostly for the comment section though lol. The one two punch of Kristi and Andrew is in full swing and it's great. Keep em coming...I am entertained!!
