After switching to the MC611,s my KEF Blades really opened up at low volumes, seriously! I went to the shop to buy a small pair of 2 way, persona b speakers to use for low volume late night listening because the big full range speakers sucked at low volume. At 70 db the blades had no snap, no...
Where did the goosebumps go? Do we just get hard as we age or does diminished hearing play a role? Soundstage and imaging has never been better in my room yet my ability to get pulled into the music is getting more and more difficult. I want to try throwing more money at the problem because I...

Lets look at all the available loudspeakers NEW and USED, at and below $10k and figure out what are keepers at the price and what could be bettered for less money? Totally selfish thread since i'm looking for a $10k speaker investment and want to narrow down the list of contenders. New focal...
