| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @helomech Typical sort of response from the Harbeth fanboy club. The pot calling the kettle black. | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio @tomic601 @woofhaven1992 JR is an absolute credit to the industry Yes he is. I've just finished working with JR at Wallytools to set up a MSL Signature Platinum. I'm going to write a post about the experience but based on what I've learned, ... | |
