Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room
@kgtunes  SF speakers are very nice and we auditioned those and the Focals at the same time. The SF were a bit warm for us it seemed the Focals had better detail. You can’t go wrong with SF tho. Happy listening !    Ron

DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
I’m jealous of everyone that listens into the wee hours. Waking up at 3:30 a.m for work each day I can barely stay up until 8:00 p.m. Lucky!
