| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT Since the Quatros have built-in amps in each speaker for the subwoofers, your amps will only be driving the mids and tweeters (using the hi-pass filters). Those Pass monoblocks may be overkill? If you love the Quatros, the matching Vandersteen mon... | |
| The Nylons "One Size Fits All" is still a favorite...and more... I love them! I confess I'd forgotten about them and haven't listened to them for 20 years. I will be streaming them tonight if they're on Tidal. | |

| high end speakers are overpriced @kenjit re High end speakers are priced far higher than they cost to make. This is greediness. You seem to think that profit is a dirty word. There is often a large amount of work, R&D, startup costs and risk to bring a product to market. The ... | |
| Larsen speakers ... anyone here heard or owned them? Interesting, but in my experience all really good speakers and front ends are dependent on good source material. Highly revealing front ends and speakers reveal all the defects in bad recordings. | |

| Larsen speakers ... anyone here heard or owned them? vinylvalet Definitely two things in their favor, that you don’t have to put them far out in the room, and the "wife/partner acceptance factor".
