Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
I’m extremely happy with my Dynaudio Heritage Special’s , don’t see myself changing them. I can listen for hours with no fatigue. Also at 64 I don’t want big speakers that I can’t move. I live in a smallish apartment, expect I will never own a big...
