Klisch Cornwall, Audio Note UK AN-J, Auditorium 23 755

Klisch Cornwall, Audio Note UK AN-J, Auditorium 23 755
I’ve nothing useful to add, but a bump and to say I think that’s a great question, mostly because I’m kinda wondering in the same direction. Have read a couple of times that the 755’s aren’t bass-heavy music friendly (important to me)…but I dig th... 
Aavik U-150, U-180 or U-280
