New speakers? No thanks.
I’ve gone from 2ci’s to 2ce sigs, to the sigs  with a 2w sub, then added a second 2w. Then upgraded to a pair of 3a sigs, which sounded wonderful with the 2 subs.  Now I have the Quatros in the older cloth version.  I also have an HT system downst...

@tomic601 let’s do it!   I’m a fanboy too!    I don’t know why I was tempted to wander, but I can’t imagine better sound than Vandersteen and AtmaSphere. I’m sure you’ll torture me.

Well Ive had my MP3 3.3 for 24 hrs or so.   I'm sure I would have to take out a 2nd on the house or sell a kidney to do any better.  Its early but clearly a big step up for me.  The staging is super cool. Each instrument pinpointed in its own spac...
