| Triangle Comete EX, Comete 30th Anniv, or Trio? Look for a good deal on a used pair of bookshelves, buy 'em and try 'em. If you like 'em, keep 'em, if you don't, sell 'em and try again.Jmcgrogan2The best advice so far. I've done this so many times it's ridiculous. I'm not a detail freak but the... | |

| Ray Manzarek RIP The Doors' music stands the test of time. My grandsons listen to it without prompting from me. Rest in peace. | |

| Speaker grills on or off? I am surprised by the number of people who don't hear a difference. I am extremely skeptical of a lot of tweaks/ cable differences but I have always heard a difference when removing grills. | |
| Which headphones?? I can't stress enough the need to try each and any headphone you plan on using as they are very particular and unique to each and every set of ears. No two will sound alike to any two people you care to mention. Listener bias is the only deciding ... | |
