| Purchase of used Quatro wood ct. Looking for set up advice. Oh yeah, I forgot your Agon name.The Quatro's will be a significant upgrade. Now you will get the integrated subs as well as the carbon tweeter.I am envious- even though I can't fit the Quatro's in my space.You might ask Johnny if you can use your... |
