| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? I haven't yet. But I do enjoy building playlists and listen to them on long flights. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? why not the Buchardts with a sub? | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? as a forever loser - at least in the buying and selling stuff, how about the opposite: bought new LSA speakers for $1400, and sold them at $500 a few months later - nobody wanted them for a penny more. | |
