Help this old rookie with speakers
kokakolia 191 posts 07-18-2023 at 03:23am  Buy Klipsch or JBL if you can. The resale value is so high. You can buy a used pair of speakers, use them for 10 years and turn a tiny profit by re-selling them. The brand image is insanely high. Ca... 
External DAC?

@grislybutter    Please post a link to that LaScala AK6. thanks in advance…..  
Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers
@grislybutter   Your list is flawed. There is no such thing as a LaScala AK6.   And I don’t think many here would consider 90 db as high efficiency. That’s more like average.
