| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @mesch Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go over to Computer Audio to continue that line of questioning. It's good to stay focused on the theme of one's own original post. Have a great day. -- Dave | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @twoleftears Budget ceiling: I'd say $1700 or so, max. As for the Carbons, given that I'm just seeking something smaller for my office, the size of the speaker seems a bit much -- and the price is now a bit high. I started out musing about the Dyn... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? @soix -- thanks for pointing me at usaudiomart. I assume there are some guarantees about what's purchased there?

Obviously, power is another thread altogether and I know I can just search ... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? Everest, My main speakers are older AR 48s and small, also old, Pinnacle PN5+. I’ve got old stuff, clearly, and they need to be refreshed. They sound decent, but...maybe it’s just a midlife thing... ;-) | |
