bookshelf

I’m musing over Bookshelf or Monitor speakers but they need to have a matching centre speaker and on-wall speakers that I would use for the surrounds. I know the market is quite limited given the criteria but brands like Dali Rubicon and Sonus Faber Sonetto come to mind, with a personal...

I acquired a pair of M-105 bookshelf speakers a couple of months ago. Although I enjoy them, I am finding that I want a bit more bass for a richer and fuller lower end. Since I don't have a good room to add a sub (and wife objects to aesthetics of sub) , I am wondering if upgrading to the M-106...
