| Crutchfield's Speaker Compare Millercarbon,Very glad that you are happy with your Moabs. It would have been very discouraging to find after all of your research that your ultimate opinion didn't align with your expectations. Also, returning the speakers would have been a hug... | |

| Quarantine Project--A Full Range Speaker Kit Thanks Greg M! the Madisound kits are interesting indeed! | |
| Quarantine Project--A Full Range Speaker Kit @millercarbon, astute observation above. | |
