The best mini monitors you have heard?
To repeat the above the Ruby of MaRK AND Daniels is breakthrough technology and I have had 30 other pairs that can't compare.

First round of auditions disappointing

Thanks you so much for the quick respnses, my next question would be why you would own more than 2 pairs of speakers such as one for Stereo and one for HomeTheater (5 or 6)1) Because you feel the urge to keep hearing others2) You are still looking...
