I will tell you a great way to pick a speaker. Look for Canadian built speakers that were designed in the national research council s anecchoic chamber and decide if you want to buy a God awful speaker or not. If you want an awful speaker pick one of those the higher the cost the worse the speaker if you want a better speaker pick anything else. By the way I am just telling it the way it is about our speaker industry. There are a few good speakers made here but I have yet to listen to a good speaker that was design in that chamber.
