What speakers for 10k?
Where do you get beethoven grands for 2k? An inquiring mind wants to know. Thanks 
Describe ube sound vs solid state
I agree. Ube's are fun. I like listening to my system with my ubes and roasting a marshmellow on an open gamma wave from a ube. I also buy old ubes and like to put them in to see them arc up and down the glass. It is like a science fiction movie i...
