| Speakers Decide Which Amp Is Needed, Or A Tale Of Two Amps Thanks for sharing your experience. You seem like a very particular and thorough listener, but it would benefit us all to heed your conclusions. I think that the best way to put together a system is to find the right speakers and work back from ... | |
