@audioquest4life  the bookshelves just didn't fill the room or 'push the air'. Because you mentioned the T1.5 I had to see what they were and know why you like them! Those sound incredible even over crappy laptop speakers and they are astoundingly... 
Speaker Road Trip
@ebm that's pretty ambiguous! Of course there are better speakers out there but I don't have better speaker out there kind of money. What do you speak of? I just recently bought a pair of 1980s Klipsch Heresy's that I came across so I could famili...

New Raven Audio CeLest Monitor coming this fall.

New Raven Audio CeLest Monitor coming this fall.
Living in Cheboygan and for the most still love it. It's only in situations such as this or finding a decent restaurant without a 50 mile drive that I get frustrated. I'm a painting contractor who moved here from Georgia 20 years ago/ In this busi...
