| Small and Excellent Speakers When set up as JBL recommends, the L7s are very fine speakers: accurate down to 30 hz, with a good detailed sound stage; they can also blow the roof off my house. Since our move to a smaller home, I'm looking for a smaller speaker.Thanks to all of... | |
| Small and Excellent Speakers Some may argue with the quality of the Mac sound, but most would agree the MC402 and C2200 are nice equipment. And yes, I should be pairing them with the likes of Wilson Watt/Puppies or B&W 802Ds. But frankly, I really dont want a huge set of... | |
