Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
@jayctoy Why would you rotate, let alone so many? Do they differ in strengths/weaknesses that much? Surely something stands out as superior to your preferences, whatever they happen to be. Different strokes...cheers,Spencer
