1st speaker considerations: Odyssey Lorelei, Meadowlark Shearwater, Spatial M3 Turbo S
I own Lorelei's withe the Kismet crossovers and I have owned Heron i's, these both are great sounding, but sound totally different. I could live with either one, but I got a great deal on my dream speakers, Verity Parsifal Encores. figullager,I li...
