I'm planning on spending big money on speakers once in the coming years, and that should be it until something breaks down. There is still some room for improvement in the rest of the chain, but it would cost so much for so little increase, it's simply not worth it
for me.
I do hope the new (wel, very old actually
) speakers will be a good match with my power amps, or at least with the hybrid when used full range.
