[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7118776, member: 617319"] Been absent from this thread for quite a while...now I'm bringing it back with some home audio to change things up a little bit [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Here are a couple of my favorite speakers in my collection...On the left, my best pair of Technics SB-7000a's. On the right against the T.V., Infinity Reference Standard 2.5's (or RS 2.5's for short). For a size comparison, notice the receivers on the left, and the T.V. is a behemoth ancient 60".
