| Size matters- recommend small system or component Bel canto top notch products in a small package. WYred is nice too. Or how about peach tree or benchmark with active speakers. Or dynaudio xeo where you essentially just need a source. Or bang and Olafson has made some slick stuff over the years. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Klipsch forte 2 used are the ones I have taken notice of most. 99db efficiency I believe is the spec. Hmm negative reactions to Klipsch a line that has probably sold more speakers and been around longer than 90% of the lines around here. Not exclu... | |
