| $2000 Tektons, which one for my use? @atemoyaThere are quite a few good sounding speakers in your price range. It’s always best to demo the speakers for yourself because preferences are highly subjective. Asking forum members for speakers suggestions will get you multiple answers whi... | |

| What process do you use to purchase cables? i only publish a GPA for institutions i wasn’t kicked out of…..LOL! Me too. I spent 7 years to get my 4+year degree - I buried 3 years of full time credits because of poor grades. Partying and studying don’t mix well and boy I was a party animal. | |
| LSA 20 Statement Speakers @ganoI read about your poor experience with the LSA10. However, I believe that the speaker you received is a lemon, and the scratches on the bottom seem to indicate it’s not new and was abused. A modern new speaker shouldn’t sound that bad. | |
