Rockna Wavelight thoughts?

Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members
 just because it's a status thing Someone need to notify CDC that COVID-19 also affects brain :-) 
Spikes or rubber feet.
Go with the spikes and metal disks (floor protectors). 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
@kenjit you should start a company, manufacturing speaker out of exotic materials and have speakers for every price point ($2k - $200k). That will bring the speaker industry to their senses, when they loose their sales to you. 
Good entry level cables

Digital will sound correct when you remove that bias out of your mind.
