I scored a pair of JBL Studio 570s on sale with the cherry finish. I have a very large room to fill; 1000 square feet vaulted ceiling over all. I am enjoying the speakers very much. They are very detailed, revealing and create a big soundstage. I am driving them with the HK 990 stereo integrated amp. The studio 580 or 590 would have been a better choice but my wife and I found their size too big for our tastes. For a room the size of mine, I found the 570's bottom end slightly lacking and added a 10" Mission sub. Set the crossover at 110hz and it blends wonderfully. The bass in the setup without the sub is fast and clear but just didn't have the depth I needed with the room volume I had to fill. The studio 5 series are very worthy speakers that can surprise you with imaging, detail and refinement especially for the price.

I will be experimenting with some BlueJeans cable in a few months and will report back.
