I bought the highest end version of the speakers that I love (KEF R11 and R3 for surrounds), an amp that can power them (Monoprice monolith), and it sounds amazing. I have some LS50s around the house, and they sound great.

I’m done. It certainly cost enough. I still love trolling this place to look at speakers though.

Depends on the speaker, but generally on. They look really nice on my KEF R11.

As an added bonus, they completely remove any stress that exposed drivers cause.

Nah. It’s more like, cheap amps got way better. They’d be close.
