#163 JBL Studio 690 Estimated eBay
Older model: the JBL Studio 590 (ranked lower, rated 2.8/5).
Same family: the JBL Studio 630 (bookshelf, rated 3.6/5) and the JBL Studio 698 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: The Studio 6 replacement for the JBL Studio 590, a 2.5-way tower with a 1” compression driver in an HDI waveguide over two 8” woofers, the same tweeter design as its larger sibling, the JBL Studio 698. At 90dB sensitivity it is easy to drive.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. The horn tweeter can sound forward in bright rooms, and at 29.5 kg per speaker it is heavy.
