Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
An interesting thread @lemonhaze as I had the same question to my dealer (who is very pragmatic … and definitely believes in diminishing returns) His view on reference speakers ($100k+) is they were “money is no object” speakers and really not ab...
