What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Okay time for a wrap. Thanks to all who offered an opinion. The Borresen 01s are excellent. Sadly not heard the Gamuts, Belgians or TADs. Have heard Vimberg Ameas which were quite good. Some of these names will form a base for consideration ...
