Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Remedies the Beauty in Playback Listening  349 Replies 
Another thing to consider here is a specific reason or reasons to use the "PR Type" Scanspeaks as subs, since Romy says outright that the Dannoy's PR cones have "no ouput", but the (rather amemic) LF from the Dannoy'ed Tannoy is all there is from the...
