| Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next None of the above. Spend $7K in music - both recorded and live. Be happy with what you have if you're happy. | |
| Confused! Can I be blunt here? With all due respect to fellow audiogoner @clarinetmonster2, the B6's are almost universally lauded and appreciated by most peeps in the community. Are they perfect? No. He's trickling down Tidal speaker tech into a $229 monit... | |
