Do you really like the sound of those KT 120's? 
The Electric Recording Co. ... thoughts on a 300 quid LP
Is 300 quid a lot of money? Quids don't sound like they are worth very much. I would save the quid, after Brexit you might need it. Of course after a couple years of Trump I am ask to borrow that 300 quid.

Why do some people who have for example a 100 watt amp, upgrade to a 200 watt amp, same make. Do they think that another 100 watts would make for a significantly better sound. The only reason I can think of for doing that is that you love your amp...

Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers?
I don't know of any speakers that can sound like live music. In my mind the best I can hope for is a great speaker that will speak to me. One that plays music to me. For 10 years  Sounds Real Audio had a room at the RMAF, I would always go from ro...
