| Excellent Speakers for Classical Music - $2,000 USD Budget I tend to agree, the best value you’re likely to find will be a pre-loved quality pair of speakers. You’ll get rungs up the ladder from new, and when you do have more budget, they will depreciate considerably less if you take good care of somethin... | |
