| Best used speakers under $10000 Best to start by mentioning what you have heard or owned, and what you liked/disliked about those speakers. | |

| Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade. Ah, the Harbeth Kool Aid strikes again. I can’t say I didn’t drink it at one point. It’s hard to ignore the devout following of the Harbeth cult. Unless you find your Cornwalls and Chorus’ to be "hard" or fatiguing, IMO, the Harbs (somewhat depend... | |
