| Upgrade question - speakers or integrated? I would say, save your money and let it grow. I agree if nothing is wrong and you really don't know what you want, integrated or speakers or new Ferragamos etc, just wait until that "Ah Ha" moment when your thoughts all congeal in your head and yo... | |
| Bookshelf or Tower my neophyte understanding behind the purpose of the larger cabinet is more air volume to move through the drivers which translates to range and sound etc. the killer part is that these cabinets are composed of el cheapo MDF or particle board. | |
| Speaker grills on or off? no difference for me, although mfr says they are designed to play with them on. at best, I think with grills on, you keep dust and other particulates from settling on the components and damaging sunlight out too. (I am a little ocd about keeping t... | |

| Bookshelf or Tower I love the detail and imaging of my studio 20's, it was surprising to hear instruments here and over there in the room. what I don't like is thinking that I have left some more of that good stuff on the table by not spending more as I will have th... | |
