| Time for Two Ways ! I like all the ProAc 2 way speakers I've listened to or owned. The tablets where my first foray into ProAc and still remember them as sweet and musical. the larger floor standers were always impressive with what they could put out. AudioNote AN se... | |

| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? AudioNote speakers are designed to be placed in the corners they may be ideal for your situation. there is a few models to look at and they come up used from time to time. I've owned electrostats and AudioNote and the AN's are very satisfying. | |
| Table upgrade: SOTA Comet? or ? Get rid of those stock tubes first thing in your phono stage that is your first upgrade. Then like others I’d go for a better cart. If you can swing it a MC will be a huge step up to better sound, something like the audio technics at-art 9 is a hu... | |

Dam it ! I'v... | |
