Damn it
@mzkmxcv, (@CD318)Thanks for the feedback back on the Watkins Gen 4. I would never had known anything about the 1st order crossover and challenges it present to the music quality. The Gen 4's were very close in the running but I went ahead and pre... 
Advise on book shelf speakers less then $750
Elac Debut 6.2 @$250.00 after a price reduction since they have been on the scene a few years now plus the Adante came out. Then there is Elac UniFi UB5 ($500). The B 6.2 i can vouch for and actually own. For 250.00 you get a very decent sounding ...

SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.?

A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
