| Speaker Break-in My Vandersteen 3's improved significantly after 150 hours of break-in, didn't listen in between...have bought very few new speakers, so no other recent experiences... | |

| "High end" store snobbery PS Audio only sells manufacturer direct in USA...incredible trade in policy...they often work in conjunction with TMR I believe...the trade in can cover up to about 30% of price of new PS Audio gear you are buying... | |

| The LRS+ Speakers When I spoke to Magnepan, they said the LRS+ would be the best sounding speaker in my small room...it sounds great, sometimes use with REL T/Zero lll sub | |
